The Squeeze
Taylor Lautner
When life gives you lemons, what do you do with them? Over here at The Squeeze—we talk about it—"it" being our mental health and well being. Host Taylor Lautner's (no, not that guy, but she is married to that guy) introduction to mental health was at a young age, witnessing friends and family suffer in ways she couldn't fully understand. She started a nursing career in the peak of the pandemic and has been struggling with her own mental health ever since. Tay is joined co-host, husband Taylor Lautner, in addition to celebrity and expert guests to further the conversation surrounding mental wellness. At the end of the day, we're all pretty similar; even those living in the lime-est of lights can be weighed down by sour lemons. In addition to sharing coping strategies and stories, we hope that above all, this podcast offers the comfort of knowing you are not alone.

Dr Amen: Raising Mentally Strong Kids
For the first time ever, The Lautners welcome back a past guest, Dr. Amen, for another conversation on mental wellness, this time for children. Whether you’re a parent, want to be a parent, or have no desire to be a parent, Dr. Amen offers insight into relationships and development that we’re certain you can apply to your life in some way. Dr. Amen explains why he wanted to write a book with Dr. Charles Fay and tackle what is missing from most parenting books—brain health! He explains the importance of special time, active listening, and letting children make affordable mistakes. There is undeniably a youth mental health crisis, and Dr. Amen hopes that by offering a “parenting manual” that encourages firm, kind parenting, children will have a better chance at mental strength from the very start.
Be sure to follow Dr. Amen @doc_amen and pre-order his new book, Raising Mentally Strong Kids: How to Combine the Power of Neuroscience with Love and Logic to Grow Confident, Kind, Responsible, and Resilient Children and Young Adults

Alex Warren: Songs About Dead People
TW: substance, emotional, physical abuse
Social media sensation and powerhouse singer-songwriter Alex Warren joins the Lautners to discuss his challenging childhood that made him who he is today as a friend, partner, and artist. Alex lost his father to cancer at the age of 9, and his mother a few years ago to addiction. He suffered emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his mother, before being kicked out at the age of 18. He was homeless and started posting content on the internet, then watched as his life quickly took a turn. Despite millions of followers tracking his every move, he’s opening up now like never before in his music. In addition to sharing his childhood with us, he opens up about current family dynamics with his siblings, his outlook on death, and the most cathartic song he’s ever written.

Jordan Chiles: Use Your Voice
TW: emotional abuse
At only 22 years old, Olympian, World and Pan Am’s Champion Jordan Chiles has a lifetime of stories to tell. She joins the Lautners to discuss all that goes into becoming an athlete of her caliber, growing up the youngest of 5, and her far-from-traditional childhood as she progressed rapidly through her sport. She discusses separating Jordan the person from Jordan the Olympian and shares her favorite ways to disconnect from it all. She is no stranger to the downside of social media, so you’ll catch her pinning away on Pinterest before scrolling any other platform. She is also brave enough to open up to the Lautners about the abuse she suffered from a former coach and the long-lasting repercussions she’s had to deal with to this day. She offers sincere advice to others dealing with bullying and body shaming, what she’s most proud of, and what we can expect next from the girl who never stops.
Keep up with all things Jordan here
