The Squeeze

TW: suicide, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, addiction, prostitution 

In the year 2000, Kevin Hines became one of only 36 (less than 1%) to survive the fall from the Golden Gate Bridge. Today, he is a best-selling author, public speaker, and award-winning documentary filmmaker who travels the world sharing his story of hope, healing, and recovery while teaching the ability to survive pain over and over again. Today, he opens up about his traumatic childhood, the day his brain broke, and the journey he has been on ever since. He discusses the instant regret he experienced as he tried to take his life, his experience in psychiatric wards, and meeting the love of his life. Kevin offers insight on how to have a conversation with someone you think may be suicidal, what he teaches people who are struggling with suicidal thoughts, and what to do when someone tells you they are suicidal. Lastly, he provides an inspiring update on his fight for a net to surround the entirety of the Golden Gate Bridge, his foundation, and offers a direct message to anyone out there considering suicide. Please: Be Here Tomorrow.

TW: suicide, suicidal ideation 

So glad you made time to listen. How’s life? Well, the Lautners’ lives just got that much more chaotic with the release of Taylor Swift’s music video for I Can See You (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) and their time at the Eras Tour. This week your hosts introduce a new segment, Tea Time with Tay, and give you a run down on all things T-Swift. It’s the Tale of 3 Taylors! They talk about those iconic flips on stage, the Spider-Man meme, Back to December, Joey King, and oh, so much more. Swifties, this one’s for you.   

Ahead of the next few episodes, your hosts are then joined by Wondermind Contributor and Psychiatrist Dr. Chase Anderson to discuss suicidal ideation and how best to approach someone you think may be suicidal.

TW: addiction, grief and loss 

Your hosts are both massive fans of this week’s guest, musician and singer JP Saxe. The episode is full of energy and insight, as JP starts off by inquiring if the Lautners find navigating enmeshment more challenging by their shared name. The three then dive into love and conflict languages and the importance of being malleable to your partners’ styles. JP talks about his childhood, including the blessings he’s discovered from not being popular at a young age and his journey of defining masculinity in his own terms. Taylor also opens up about the struggles he faced when playing Jacob and the pressure he felt to portray a perfect life. The three then discuss feelings of being a burden to your partner, bullying, and being an only child—something girl Tay and JP have in common! JP opens up about growing up in a house suffering from addiction, and explains his journey with loss and grief to Taylor, who has not yet experienced any sort of family loss. He also shares the series of decisions that made him realize it was time to start therapy and the role songwriting has played in his healing journey.

TW: Infertility & Miscarriage ~30:20 – 43:35 — programmatic ads may affect the exact timestamp for each listener 

Dancing with the Stars legends and power couple Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy join the two Tays for a laugh-filled double date and your weekly dose of mental health chats. While Jenna and Val are happy as ever with their baby boy bundle of joy Rome, transforming their family from two to three did not simply happen overnight. Val and Jenna open up about their journey with infertility and miscarriage, and how only after they decided to give themselves a break did they find themselves pregnant after Jenna’s birthday trip to Cabo. But first, they’re telling us all about how their relationship formed after they connected on Dancing with the Stars, where Val took advantage of his incredible charm and somehow good-smelling sweat to ultimately win Jenna over. Val and Jenna get honest about everything work and personal, including watching your partner develop close relationships with those of the opposite sex, how parenthood has altered their relationship, and why Jenna's new post-partum body has actually improved her confidence. Plus, they share advice for those struggling to conceive and new parents!

Dr. Sasha is a psychiatrist specializing in ADHD who has ADHD herself. Today she joins your hosts to discuss her journey with the diagnosis, med school, and becoming a parent. Dr. Sasha breaks down the three hallmark features of ADHD and the various ways they can present themselves. She explains how she stopped taking her medication when she went off to school and felt like she had a stroke as she fell to the bottom of her class—by a lot. Her and her father then dove into ADHD research so she could fully understand what was going on. She explains the shocking gap in the average age of diagnosis between genders, and how people (especially women) can be diagnosed with anxiety or depression in place of ADHD because of their symptoms. She offers advice to parents potentially facing a diagnosis and emphasizes the importance of recognizing your own patterns. She also touches on ADHD and dating/relationships, and discusses her book and ADHD management app to help people with ADHD. 

Follow Dr. Sasha on Instagram and TikTok @thepsychdoctormd and check out her book, Self-Care for People with ADHD 100+ Ways to Recharge, De-Stress, and Prioritize You! Plus, watch out for her app, FocusGenie, coming soon.

Let’s go back to the beginning (of the podcast and the love story!) with another solo episode where the Lautners offer a look into the beginning of their relationship. Before they get started, Taylor addresses a video he posted on social media about some rude comments he came across and wants to set the record straight on his intention in posting it. They then get into audience questions! The most popular question by far has to do with the reality of a “famous person” dating a “normal person” so your hosts take a deep dive into keeping their relationship private, when they felt ready to go public, Tay’s first introductions to the industry and the first-class lifestyle, and the hardest moment that has resulted from being in a public relationship. They also tackle a few rapid-fire questions, such as if their astrological signs are accurate, who kissed who first, and what Tay’s parents thought of her dating a celebrity! Lastly, Taylor walks us through his proposal-planning process. Let us know what you think of the episode, and if we should do more solo shows in the future!

Get ready for an enlightening and engaging episode as your hosts welcome Chervin Jafarieh, founder of Cymbiotika, a company offering cutting edge, pure products that improve energy levels, focus, physical stamina, and overall health! Chervin shares how his passion for health and wellness developed and explains his dissatisfaction with our state-sponsored education system, which he believes has lost its way. Chervin then dives into our food system, and explains that we haven’t been growing real food in a while and are instead consuming “dead food.” He discusses his own dietary practices, including intermittent fasting, and emphasizes the importance of hydration and sunlight. He explains the motivation behind creating Cymbiotika and his desire to help people achieve optimal health. Chervin criticizes both the pharmaceutical industry and the supplement world, and proposes Cymbiotika as a way to help with a problem we shouldn’t even have in the first place. Lastly, he shares which supplements you should explore if you’re interested in getting started, such as magnesium. We hope you’re able to take away as much as we did from this informative and wide-reaching conversation.

After returning from a long European trip, your hosts are thrilled to be back in the interview chair talking to social media star and mental health advocate, Lexi Hensler. Lexi is open about her struggles with anxiety and depression from a very young age and talks to the Lautners about what helps her manage it all. She also talks about her bucket list, something she came up with when she was in the hospital with an infection that resulted in organ failure and a panic attack disorder. Lexi is out to destigmatize the conversation around mental health, and one of the amazing ways she is doing that is through her weighted stuffed animal company, Hugz. Lexi talks about her biggest goal for the company, discusses her relationship with social media, and shares her love for Oprah. Plus, the three bond over their love of dogs and the value they bring to your life, especially on the hard days. Lexi’s message is loud and clear: please keep holding on and know it does get better. If you find yourself struggling with your mental health, please reach out for help. You can find various resources here.

TW: Ectopic pregnancy, ~24:05 – 36:50 — programmatic ads may affect the exact timestamp for each listener 

One half of Too Hot to Handle’s favorite power couple, Emily Miller (still with boyfriend Cam Holmes!), joins your hosts to discuss her time on the dating show, her relationship with Cam, and, for the first time ever, her pregnancy loss. Emily shares what it’s been like dating in the public eye, which has surprisingly never been a negative experience for her, and dives deep into her love-at-first-sight meeting with Cam. Over their 2.5 years together, she and Cam have experienced ups and downs as all couples do, but most notably, Emily’s ectopic pregnancy, during which she was mere days away from death. Emily explains how she and Cam both dealt with the loss and offers advice for others suffering through the same nightmare. Despite the tragedy discussed in today’s episode, Emily’s incredible personality lit up the conversation, and your hosts applaud her contagious positivity and outlook on life.
