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.

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.  Resources: Postpartum Support International: https://www.postpartum.net/  Pregnancy After Loss Support: https://pregnancyafterlosssupport.org/  The Ellie’s Gift Project: https://www.relaxwithlucy.co.uk/elliesgift  The Worst Girl Gang Ever: https://theworstgirlgangever.co.uk/  Dad Still Standing: Baby Loss Support for Fathers: https://www.dadstillstanding.com/  Tommy’s Baby Loss Support Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Tommysblsupport/    You can follow Emily on TikTok and Instagram @emilyfayemiller and Snapchat @emilyyyymiller and follow Cam @camholmess  To email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to [email protected] Be sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!

TW: addiction, overdose, and body dysmorphia   When conceptualizing The Squeeze, your hosts knew it was going to be people like Zac who make it special. Today, they are joined by dream guest Zac Clark, founder and CEO of Release Recovery, a full-service substance use disorder and mental health organization that offers transitional living, interventions, case management, and other essential family and recovery support services. This episode is very personal, as Zac shares his history with addiction, rehab, and recovery, and Tay shares more about her family’s experience with addiction. Zac discusses his time in the hospital after being diagnosed with a brain tumor, and how that inevitably furthered his addiction. The three discuss the importance of boundaries, advocating for men’s mental health, and Narcan. Zac also touches on the incredible work Release Recovery and the Release Recovery Foundation are doing to offer support to those struggling and break the stigma around addiction and mental health.  This episode is dedicated to Chris and anyone out there suffering from addiction, or loving someone suffering from addiction.

First, they discuss their recent visit to NYC, where they recreated their first date, as well as their first impressions of one another and any “red flags" they were cautious of. Natalie, like Tay, works in healthcare (as a surgical technician) and wasn't in the spotlight prior to her relationship with Nick. They discuss the scrutiny that comes from dating someone in the public eye and supporting someone struggling with their mental health. Nick and Natalie also share the value they’ve found in couples therapy to help them stay connected, and Natalie opens up about past traumas resurfacing and her experience with EMDR therapy. Lastly, your hosts ask Nick what it is about his podcast that explains its remarkable success. The Squeeze team would like to sincerely thank Nick and Natalie for being so vulnerable, and we hope Natalie’s story inspires someone out there to reach out for help.  Be sure to follow Nick and Natalie @nickviall and @nnataliejjoy and tune into The Viall Files wherever you get your podcasts.   Thanks to our awesome sponsors for making this episode possible:   Cozy Earth — Go to cozyearth.com for up to 35% off site wide when you use the code THESQUEEZE  Manscaped — Go to manscaped.com for 20% off and free shipping with code THESQUEEZE   To email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to [email protected]  Be sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!
