The Squeeze

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.

    In this week’s episode, Tay is back for another girl-talk conversation, this time with Netflix's Cheer star Morgan Simianer! Morgan kicks things off by sharing how she met her husband, their engagement story, what she’s loving most about married life, and her favorite moment from their wedding day. She then opens up about her early childhood, from the pain of her mom leaving to living alone in a trailer so she wouldn’t burden anyone. Morgan reflects on the role her grandparents played in giving her stability, the moment she finally felt safe, and whether she’s in touch with her biological parents today. She dives into how her upbringing shaped her relationships, what healing has looked like for her, and the biggest hurdle she’s had to overcome. We then shift into her cheer journey, from trying out for Navarro to becoming a fan favorite on Cheer, and how she navigated the sudden public attention and its impact on her mental health. Morgan shares the challenges of having her most personal moments broadcast to the world, her reaction to being pitched Battle Camp on Netflix, her favorite parts of filming, and the castmates she’s closest to.
