The Squeeze

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.

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.

In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with content creator and host of the House Guest podcast Kenzie Elizabeth! Kenzie shares how she first got started posting on social media and what drew her to YouTube vlogging, opening up about how putting her life online has actually made her more confident and self-aware rather than self-conscious. She talks through how she decides what parts of her life to share and what she keeps private, and what it means to so many people who see her as the “big sister on the internet.” Kenzie also opens up about her grief journey after losing her little brother, offering insight into what truly helps when supporting someone who is grieving and what doesn’t. She shares how tools like the Enneagram have helped her better understand herself, how she prioritizes her mental health in day-to-day life, and the parts of herself she’s still learning to accept. Kenzie also walks us through her non-negotiables, the routines that keep her grounded, and the advice she’d give to anyone feeling behind in life.
