In this episode, I sit down with Tay Lautner, host of The Squeeze podcast and mental health advocate, to talk about the realness of pregnancy that no one talks about. She shares her mental health journey, how she found healing after burnout, and the true feelings around her first pregnancy. Tay also opens up about body image, marrying into fame while remaining privacy, and why she says the pregnancy "glow" is total propaganda. Plus, Tay shares how she is prioritizing her mental health and self-care during this pregnancy.

Key Takeaway / Points:
How burnout from nursing led her to find healing

Navigating her PTSD, depression, and anxiety diagnosis

Being open about her mental health and advocacy work

Her marriage to Taylor and finding normalcy amongst fame

The brutal parts of the first trimester women don't always talk about

How two things can be true: feeling gratitude for pregnancy AND not loving how it feels

In this episode, I sit down with Alexis McGill Johnson, the CEO and President of Planned Parenthood, for a conversation that feels more urgent than ever in today's political climate. Alexis shares how she went from political science professor to leading the nation's largest sexual and reproductive healthcare provider. We get into why Planned Parenthood is so much more than abortion care, what she remembers from the day Roe v. Wade was overturned, and why she wasn't surprised like I was. We also dive into the Black maternal health crisis, why maternal mortality rates are higher for Black women, and what's actually happening to providers and patients in the most restrictive states.

Key Takeaways / Points:
Why abortion is only about 4% of what Planned Parenthood provides (and what makes up the rest of what they offer)

The "believability gap" that left so many people unprepared for Roe being overturned

How the state-by-state system means your freedom can change with a 30-minute drive

The way abortion bans are quietly making all pregnancy more dangerous

What the “One Big Beautiful Bill” actually does, and how defunding Medicaid becomes a backdoor abortion ban

Why Black and brown communities are hit hardest

The most effective ways to support Planned Parenthood

How to have a real conversation with someone who's anti-choice
