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.

Angel Carter Conrad: Breaking the Cycle
Trigger Warning: The following episode contains content about sexual assault, child abuse, drug abuse, death, violence, and mental illness that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.
Today, the Taylors are sitting down for an exclusive episode with Angel Carter Conrad as she bravely opens up about the tragic passing of her twin brother, Aaron Carter, and other details surrounding the Carter family. To begin, Angel talks about what life was like for her and her siblings growing up while their parents struggled with addiction. She explains when she and her siblings began battling addiction themselves, then shares about her relationships with her family and explains the real reason why she filed a restraining order against Aaron. Angel gives valuable insight into why it is so important for children to have a stable environment to grow up in and talks about the genetic component of mental health and how it can often run in the family. Finally, she offers advice for talking to young kids about mental health, highlights some signs that show a child may be struggling, and gives tips for someone who sees themselves stuck in a generational cycle but feels discouraged that they aren't strong enough to break it. We want to give a huge thank you to Angel for her vulnerability and strength in sharing her unimaginable story.

Customer Reviews
Lemon drops 🍋
I never really saw myself listening to podcasts because I thought I would lose focus or get distracted. Don’t say you won’t until you give it a try. This podcast is very motivating and touching! I started from the very first podcast, and am still listening!
Boy Tay, huge fan!! I was also born on Feb.11,
#teamAquarius, #teamjacob
Girl Tay, you are wonderful! I found your story of starting the podcast to be very inspiring. It seems like we all go through storms in life but somehow end up finding our purpose. And you have found yours! It takes a lot of courage to be able to talk about things, but you’re sharing your story to others!
I went through a bit of a storm, when losing my job over a silly reason. I’d like to say that, “things happen for a reason”.
Thank you both for doing this amazing podcast! I have been sharing with my friends and family 🤍
Always Learning
As the Mom of a paramedic, I so appreciate this podcast. The things my daughter has already seen in her first two years as a paramedic makes me worry about her mental health in the future. This podcast has taught me the signs to watch for which helps ease my mind. Thank you so much Tay and Taylor!
Wow
Wow. I just started listening to this podcast recently, but the amount of meaningful advice that has come from some of their interviews (Dr. Amen, Stacy Chapin) is so valuable and makes this podcast really unique and special.
