The Squeeze

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.

    Huddy: Finding Therapy in Music

    In this week’s episode, Tay is joined by singer and actor Chase Hudson, better known as Huddy! Chase opens up about what it was like growing up and how the bullying he faced led him to switch to online school, ultimately guiding him toward music as an outlet. He reflects on achieving massive online popularity at such a young age and how it impacted his mental health, including the breaking point that turned music into not just a career but also his therapy. Chase shares what it’s been like to open up more vulnerably in his music, walking us through the honesty behind his new single “Fragile” and how songwriting has helped him process his emotions. He also gives a peek into his first feature film, talks about the challenges of feeling dehumanized in the public eye, and explains why community, connection, and speaking openly about our struggles matter so much.

    Colleen Pelly: Mental Health In The Workplace

    In this week’s episode, the Lautners sit down with Colleen Pelly, founder of The Linchpin Co., a company focused on building healthier, more human-centered workplaces! Colleen brings a wealth of insight on the intersection of mental health and the work environment, drawing from her experience as a small business owner, mental health advocate, and mom navigating postpartum life. She dives into what’s broken in the way most companies approach mental well-being, why burnout and disengagement are at an all-time high, and the common misconceptions organizations have when trying to support employee mental health. Colleen shares her perspective on psychological safety, what it really means, and how leaders can begin to foster it within their teams, as well as how redefining your strengths can help you thrive both at work and at home. She opens up about the tools and daily habits that keep her grounded, the importance of boundaries in a world where we’re constantly reachable, and how small, intentional moments can make a lasting impact.
