    Joshua Bassett: Healing in the Public Eye

    05/20/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
    In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with singer, actor, and author Joshua Bassett! Joshua opens up about first experiencing anxiety and depression at a young age, how overwhelming online hate and constant criticism affected him, and the ways he learned to cope during some of the hardest seasons of his life. He shares how being misunderstood publicly impacted his mental health, why social media can be so harmful, and how staying grounded in your own purpose can help make outside opinions feel less consuming. Joshua also talks through the boundaries he now has with social media, what motivates him to continue speaking openly about mental health, and why he believes it’s so important for men to have spaces where they can be emotional, vulnerable, and honest about what they’re going through. Joshua also opens up about some of the difficult topics he addresses in his book, including his experience with sexual abuse, addiction, trust issues in friendships, and the emotions that came with releasing something so vulnerable into the world. He shares where the idea for the book first came from, the topic he was most afraid to write about, and what he hopes readers take away after finishing it.

    Kay Dudley: The Reality of Motherhood

    05/13/2026 | 1h 7 mins.
    In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with content creator and founder of Hey!Nu Kay Dudley! Kay gets into all things pregnancy and motherhood, sharing how each of her pregnancies has looked completely different and opening up about the physical and emotional changes she’s experienced through pregnancy and postpartum. She talks about navigating body image, the pressure moms often feel around feeding choices, and why she strongly believes that fed is best when it comes to formula versus breastfeeding. Kay also reflects on how she first got started on social media, what it’s been like sharing motherhood online, and the advice she’d give to new parents trying to protect and strengthen their marriage during such a major life transition. She shares what support from her spouse truly looks like, how she learned to ask for help, and her experience with postpartum depression. Kay also opens up about her lupus diagnosis, including the symptoms she experienced, the long road to finally getting answers, and her advice for anyone struggling to advocate for themselves and feel heard by medical professionals. She also talks about launching Hey!Nu, her plant-based, gluten-free protein bar brand, before wrapping up with the Lemon 7 segment!

    Kenzie Elizabeth: Letting Go of Control

    05/06/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
    In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with content creator and host of the House Guest podcast Kenzie Elizabeth! Kenzie shares how she first got started posting on social media and what drew her to YouTube vlogging, opening up about how putting her life online has actually made her more confident and self-aware rather than self-conscious. She talks through how she decides what parts of her life to share and what she keeps private, and what it means to so many people who see her as the “big sister on the internet.” Kenzie also opens up about her grief journey after losing her little brother, offering insight into what truly helps when supporting someone who is grieving and what doesn’t. She shares how tools like the Enneagram have helped her better understand herself, how she prioritizes her mental health in day-to-day life, and the parts of herself she’s still learning to accept. Kenzie also walks us through her non-negotiables, the routines that keep her grounded, and the advice she’d give to anyone feeling behind in life.

About 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.
