The Squeeze

In this week’s episode, The Squeeze is partnering with Ronald McDonald House for a very inspiring episode. The Lautners sit down with Katie Fitzgerald, President and CEO of Ronald McDonald House Global, along with Jules and Jevon McBride, to talk about the life-changing impact of Ronald McDonald House and the power of families staying together during a medical crisis. Katie shares the heart behind the organization, why the mission is needed now more than ever, and the decision to spotlight real families by introducing the McBrides as the first-ever global spokesfamily as part of the Family Stays campaign. She talks about the wide range of support Ronald McDonald House provides for families, from accommodations and meals to emotional and mental health support, and why holistic care is such an important part of the organization’s mission.
The McBride family then shares their deeply personal story, opening up about the devastating car accident that changed their lives and how Ronald McDonald House became a lifeline during their recovery. They reflect on what it meant to stay together as a family during such a difficult time, the community and connections they found through other families, volunteers, and staff members, and the continued support from Ronald McDonald House, even after returning home. The family also shares what it means to become the first-ever global spokesfamily for Ronald McDonald House, the lessons they’ve learned about resilience and community, and the message they hope to pass along to other families navigating a child’s illness or injury. Katie also shares the organization’s vision for the future, including the growing need for its services, the goal to double the number of families served by 2030, and the different ways people can support the mission.

In this week's episode, Tay sits down with author, comedian, podcast host and lifestyle creator Brooke Averick! Brooke shares about blowing up on TikTok during Covid and what that growth looked like, meeting Connor Wood and how their friendship led to launching their podcast together, and what they cover on it. Brooke gets candid about her mental health and OCD journey, including the signs that showed up at a very young age, who first noticed she was struggling, and how starting therapy early shaped the way she understands herself today. She talks about what she thinks people often get wrong about OCD, how simply naming an emotion (like saying "I feel anxious") has been one of the most powerful tools in her toolkit, and the boundaries she sets with social media to protect her mental health. She also shares the signs she watches for when she needs to slow down and check in with herself, and the self-care practices that help her reset. Brooke then shares where the idea for her book Phoebe Berman's Gonna Lose It came from, what she's learned about herself through the writing process, and what she hopes readers take away from it.

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.

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!
