The Squeeze

Today’s episode has been a long time coming as girl Tay answers all of the Lemon Drops’ questions about her nursing career, a topic near and dear to her heart! But first, your two hosts answer some Citrus Got Real Q’s, one involving a surprising twist in childhood crushes. Then, in anticipation of Nurses Week, Taylor asks Tay about all things nursing, from her nursing school experience to coping mechanisms at the bedside to egos in the workplace. There’s no wonder why, in our healthcare system especially, nurses are facing burnout and struggling with mental health, and Tay is sharing her own experiences and giving advice to any healthcare professionals who may be facing similar struggles. Tay also shares a very exciting partnership with CeraVe and The Daisy Foundation in an effort to support all the extraordinary nurses out there.

For the first time ever, The Lautners welcome back a past guest, Dr. Amen, for another conversation on mental wellness, this time for children. Whether you’re a parent, want to be a parent, or have no desire to be a parent, Dr. Amen offers insight into relationships and development that we’re certain you can apply to your life in some way. Dr. Amen explains why he wanted to write a book with Dr. Charles Fay and tackle what is missing from most parenting books—brain health! He explains the importance of special time, active listening, and letting children make affordable mistakes. There is undeniably a youth mental health crisis, and Dr. Amen hopes that by offering a “parenting manual” that encourages firm, kind parenting, children will have a better chance at mental strength from the very start.   Be sure to follow Dr. Amen @doc_amen and pre-order his new book, Raising Mentally Strong Kids: How to Combine the Power of Neuroscience with Love and Logic to Grow Confident, Kind, Responsible, and Resilient Children and Young Adults  Thanks to our awesome sponsors for supporting this episode!   Caraway — Visit Carawayhome.com/THESQUEEZE or use code THESQUEEZE at checkout to take advantage of this limited-time offer for 10% off your next purchase  Cerebral — Cerebral is giving our listeners 15% off their first month of online therapy, medication or both.

TW: substance, emotional, physical abuse   Social media sensation and powerhouse singer-songwriter Alex Warren joins the Lautners to discuss his challenging childhood that made him who he is today as a friend, partner, and artist. Alex lost his father to cancer at the age of 9, and his mother a few years ago to addiction. He suffered emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his mother, before being kicked out at the age of 18. He was homeless and started posting content on the internet, then watched as his life quickly took a turn. Despite millions of followers tracking his every move, he’s opening up now like never before in his music. In addition to sharing his childhood with us, he opens up about current family dynamics with his siblings, his outlook on death, and the most cathartic song he’s ever written.

On today’s episode, the two Tays sit down with Dr. Judy Ho to get into all things attachment styles. Dr. Judy is a Board Certified Clinical and Forensic Psychologist, an author, and a TV and podcast host, so you could say she knows a thing or two when it comes to today’s topic. Starting at the beginning for those new to attachment, Dr. Judy explains the four attachment styles: secure attachment, anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, and disorganized attachment. The three then dive into what factors contribute to someone’s style, misconceptions people often have regarding attachment styles, and how someone’s attachment style can affect their mental and physical health. Plus, Dr. Judy provides tips for those who seek to alter their attachment style as well as advice for parents or role models of children to help develop a secure attachment.
