Brianne Howey: Grief, Growth & Georgia

In this week’s episode, the Lautners are joined by actress Brianne Howey! Brianne opens up about where her passion for acting began, her time studying at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, and the shared connection she and Taylor have from appearing on Scream Queens. She shares how becoming a mom has transformed her approach to mental health and self-care, especially while juggling a demanding filming schedule far from home. Brianne reflects on losing her own mother to cancer at 21, how that loss shaped her, and what it’s been like to now raise a child herself. She also talks about her therapy journey, the moment she knew she’d found the right therapist, and the advice she’d give to new or future parents. Plus, she gets candid about being part of Ginny & Georgia (a show that doesn’t shy away from topics like anxiety, abuse, and self-harm), how filming season 3 differed from earlier seasons, and whether playing Georgia has brought healing in unexpected ways.

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.
