The Squeeze

This is a very special solo-ish episode! Per usual (well, per when they remember) your hosts start with a triple round of Cit-Rus Got Real featuring new questions sent in by you, Lemon Drops! Then, Taylor shares some notes he took from Sadie Robertson’s LO Sister Conference, where Tay spoke on a mental health panel! They also dive into Tea Time with Tay(s), which has them talking about the podcast, how many kids they want, their most favorite thing: their dogs, and more! The Lautners are then joined by 3 very special guests, Tay’s friends, to introduce a new segment “Sweet and Sour,” where they discuss the most controversial of topics, such as dating apps and if pineapple belongs on pizza. Let us know what you think of the new segment, and stay tuned for a very, very exciting guest next week…

This week the Lautners have the honor of sitting down with Victor and Libby Boyce, parents of child star Cameron Boyce, who passed away in 2019 from SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy). They offer an inside look at the incredible life Cameron led and the legacy he left behind. They explain how and when epilepsy became part of their lives and how Cameron wasn’t considered epileptic until his second seizure. This is one of their many frustrations with the medical system, which failed to arm them. Their main message in coming on the podcast today is to take an epilepsy diagnosis seriously. There is a lack of information about epilepsy, despite there being so many different types and it being one of the most common neurological conditions. They were never even informed of SUDEP, the complication that took their son’s life. They talk about The Cameron Boyce Foundation, with the mission of raising awareness of epilepsy, discuss their grieving process, share what the outpouring of love has felt like, and offer advice on what to say to someone who has lost a loved one.  

Cameron lives on through his sister, parents, friends, and The Cameron Boyce Foundation. We urge other people of influence to speak out if they suffer from epilepsy, and encourage you to check out the foundation to learn more about the disorder: www.thecameronboycefoundation.org

The man, the myth, the ledge — singer-songwriter and all around incredible human Harry Hudson joins the Lautners today to discuss his cancer journey, the importance of music in his life, and his charity, Hey, I'm Here For You. Harry was diagnosed with cancer the same week he turned 20, and he discusses the existential brain shifts that occurred as he processed his reality and embraced death. He attributes music to saving his life and talks about the intersection of music and mental health when used as a healing tool. He speaks to the psychological toll of being released from the hospital free of cancer and being unsure how to process what you’ve just been through, as well as feeling like he wasn’t allowed to be sad. Harry also lost his father at 23, and shares how, while he embraced death for himself, he wasn’t prepared for it to happen to someone else. Lastly, he talks about the inspiration and mission for his charity, Hey, I’m Here For You, which helps enhance the lives of teens and young adults undergoing cancer treatment.

Television host, author, and interior designer Bobby Berk sits down with the Lautners to chat all things design and mental health. He discusses his upbringing and the sense that he never really belonged in his small town, how he began to make a name for himself in the design world, and how that led him to television—something he never really wanted. He offers advice to anyone out there who may be fearful of taking a non-traditional route in life before opening up about his depression and experience coming off of his ADHD medication. Lastly, he talks about his new book, Right at Home, which is more than just a glamorous coffee table book. Right at Home helps people understand design, and highlights the intersection of your home and your mental health. 

Bobby Berk’s new book Right at Home: How Good Design Is Good for the Mind is available at bobbyberk.com/book

The Taylor Lautners are back for another jam-packed solo episode, kicking off with a Twilight-era Cit-rus Got Real about fish eyes (long story, stay tuned). Taylor takes a moment to talk about Tay’s "Jimmy Darts" moment this week, which then leads your hosts to talk about the importance of gratitude. Tay opens up about her first EMDR session and the realization that she hasn’t yet processed what she went through in 2020. They also dive into your Tea Time with Tay questions, where they discuss their experience being long-distance, balancing quality and personal time together, and where they would go if they knew they wouldn’t be recognized. Lastly, they share what they’re most proud of one another for doing, one of which resulted in a $50,000 donation from Celsius to The Lemons Foundation... Thank you so much, Celsius!

We heard you loud and clear Lemon Drops, so we’re bringing you more solo episodes! This week your hosts sit back, relax, and enjoy some tea time with Tay(s). They cover everything (and we mean everything) from friendship bracelets to ferocious turtles. Before they dive into all your questions, they also take a moment to talk about the importance of self-care and the scope of what that really means. It’s not always a spa day—it means truly caring for yourself, even if sometimes, that means having an uncomfortable conversation. Tay opens up about a new self-care strategy from her EMDR therapist, and a moment of insecurity she had at the Eras Tour and how she talked herself through it. Then they answer your burning questions, including which songs from 1989 (Taylor’s Version) they’re most excited for, which The Summer I Turned Pretty boy they’re rooting for, and a funny memory of the two of them that takes them back all the way to their 6-month anniversary. We hope you enjoy this peek at a day with the Lautners!

TW: suicide 

Drafted third overall in 2017, Solomon Thomas knows what it’s like to have a target on his back. His true battles, however, have never been on the field but in trying to dismantle archaic stigmas around mental health while working through the grief of his sister’s suicide. He talks about growing up with his older sister Ella, how close he was to his family, and when they first noticed Ella was struggling. He stresses the importance of checking in on your strong friends and discusses his journey with his own mental health. He explains how therapy has allowed him to put into words feelings that he didn’t even have the language for as he navigates his journey with grief. The three discuss what mental health looks like in the world of the NFL and the positive changes Solomon has seen since his rookie year. He explains why whole health is important to him as an athlete, and discusses his non-profit, The Defensive Line, on a mission to end the epidemic of youth suicide, especially for people of color. 

Be sure to keep up with Solomon @sollythomas90 and check out The Defensive Line

*This episode was recorded prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike and our team was given approval by SAG to release it. 

Actress Sasha Pieterse joins the Lautners to discuss her journey with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), the entertainment industry, and motherhood. Her and Taylor reminisce on their time filming Shark Boy and Lava Girl together and the multi-generational fan base that continues to this day. Sasha then explains what exactly PCOS is, her battle to be diagnosed, and the miracle that was getting pregnant—not only because PCOS is a huge component of infertility, but because her son then miraculously regulated her hormones. In addition to that, she has also become the most confident she’s ever been from being a mom, with other people’s opinions being so low on her priority list. She discusses why she and her husband suspect they’re “one and done” when it comes to children, and the importance of making her marriage her first priority. Lastly, she discusses where the idea for Women In The Nude, her new podcast, came from. Check it out below!

YouTube stars Matt and Abby join the Lautners to discuss all things love, babies, and business. They share how they felt when they discovered they were having another baby so quickly after the first, and Abby opens up about her challenging birthing story. The two share that their in-laws are moving in and how important it is for them to surround their child with people who are going to be in his life forever. They then go back to the beginning (like the Lautners did a few weeks ago—be sure to check out that ep) and share how they met and why they ultimately made a huge career shift to spend more time together. They discuss how they got started on social media and how they deal with online hate. Matt then opens up about his journey with anxiety and how Abby has helped tremendously. Lastly, they talk about starting their podcast, which actually launched and releases episodes on the same day as The Squeeze. A double feature!
