The Squeeze Podcast Nation

Life’s not all sunshine and roses, but if you work really hard at it, you can tackle any obstacle with a sunshine mindset. Best friends and co-authors Tanya Rad and Raquelle Stevens join the Lautners today to discuss their book, The Sunshine Mind. They share the incredible story of how they met, what sparked the idea for the book, and discuss collaborating on the project. Tanya and Taylor bond over the notion that rejection is sometimes God’s redirection, and Raquelle opens up about finding direction in life, which sometimes simply looks like doing the next right thing. Her favorite word says it best: YOLO—so it’s important to live it to the fullest. We hope today’s conversation inspires you to do just that. 
Check out Raquelle’s video series and podcast, Giving back generation, and Tanya’s pod, Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley & Tanya Rad. Plus, be sure to get your copy of The Sunshine Mind today. You can follow them both on Instagram @raquellestevens and @tanyarad.

At such a young age, today’s guest has already accomplished more than most do in their entire life. Sadie Robertson Huff rose to fame on her family’s reality show, Duck Dynasty, followed by finishing runner-up on Dancing with the Stars. She joins your hosts to discuss her journey battling fear and anxiety. Sadie speaks to the stress of living a hypocritical lifestyle—one where she looks perfect on social media but struggles with herself and her romantic relationship. Knowing God was with her, Sadie began to push back on her fears and went viral with a stripped-down YouTube video showing the world who she really was, "imperfections" and all. Sadie also opens up to the Lautners about motherhood: how it has helped her with things like body image but how new things, like mom guilt, have been challenging. She shares the story behind the name of one of her books and her ministry, Live Original, and then one of our Lemon 11 questions exposes the story behind her podcast name, WHOA That’s Good. For Sadie, so many things in her life changed when she learned to not let fear call the shots. We hope that this episode inspires you to lean into your fear and Live Original — just like Sadie.

Cheaper by the Dozen fans and dancers... this one’s for you. Finally having the chance to reconnect, Taylor introduces Tay to Alyson Stoner, and the two discuss their time working together and growing up in the industry. Alyson explains how there was no way for her to understand the long-term implications as a child, including how parts of her did not get a chance to fully develop. She shares how the industry affected how she understood connection: what became to her a cycle of a deep bond, followed repeatedly by a “deep break”. Tay, our resident optimist, asks Alyson if there is something about the industry she loves, which pivots the conversation to her relationship with dance and movement. She dives into what dance means to her and what she hopes to achieve through Movement Genius, her all in 1 subscription platform that takes care of your mind, body, and emotions. Alyson also speaks to what wellness means to her, and how she’s hoping to offer a space for wellness in the most authentic, inclusive fashion. At the end of this episode, we learn that if Alyson could go back in time, she would alter the course of her life and never have entered the spotlight. Would Taylor do the same? Tune in to find out.

Like the rest of America, Tay and Taylor instantly feel in love with Paradise couple Brandon and Serene, and knew they needed to have them on the podcast. This week, they join the Lautners to discuss their mental health before and during filming. Brandon talks about his experience hiring for travel nurse recruiting during COVID, and the toll that took on his mental health. He also opens up about losing a very close friend and his grandfather. While he acknowledges that society encourages men to push down and cover up their feelings, he and the Lautners are here to change that narrative. Serene opens up about the loss of her grandma, aunt, and cousin, and why her 1 on 1 date in Galveston brought up so many emotions. Brandon and Serene also touch on the pressure they feel to stay together and what they do when life hands them lemons … which may be different than you think!

TW: depression 
Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn, one of the most successful female alpine skiers in the history of the sport, joins your hosts today to discuss her mental health journey and her unbelievable longevity in the sport. Lindsey explains that her injuries gave her a renewed perspective each time, and she never felt she worked a day in her life. Of her unparalleled accomplishments, she shares which one meant the most, and talks about her decision to retire, which was ultimately made for her by her body. She speaks to her mental health while she was injured and following her retirement, and the emotional support she finds from her dogs. The three discuss the false notion that success equates to happiness, and your hosts applaud Lindsey for being so open about her depression. Lindsey discusses the Lindsey Vonn Foundation, empowering underserved girls with scholarships and programs, and what’s in store for the future. Lastly, Lindsey tackles the Lemon 11 segment, diving into the dangers of social media, the value of finding the type of therapy that works for you, and, potentially, a dog podcast? We’re in.

This week your hosts welcome their first guest … Hannah Brown! They kick off the episode with a new segment, Cit-rus (sh*t-just) Got Real, and then dive into Hannah’s experience releasing her book, God Bless This Mess: Learning to Live and Love Through Life’s Best (and Worst) Moments. Hannah explains that the first time she was really asked about her feelings was when she was on The Bachelor, and while that was a great experience for her, being The Bachelorette was much more challenging. Hannah also presents her metaphor of the “scary closet” as she’s working on organizing and processing what has impacted her throughout her life. She talks with the Lautners about intention vs. impact (especially when communicating with your partner), her time on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, and finding her footing in the world of social media. At The Squeeze, we're all about intentional conversation, and Hannah offers just that in today's episode as she opens up about her mental health journey. 
Be sure to check out Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test Wednesdays on FOX at 9/8c, and follow Hannah, @hannahbrown!
