The Squeeze

In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with American professional snowboarder Maddie Mastro! Maddie shares how she first fell in love with snowboarding, the moment she realized it could become a career, and what her training schedule looked like in those early years with the full support of her parents. She explains what it means to snowboard halfpipe and opens up about the mantra that’s guided her — “It’s not that serious, it’s just snowboarding” — and how that mindset began. Maddie talks about the internal dialogue that helps her mentally commit to big tricks, along with the role therapy and sports psychology have played in her growth. She reflects on how her definition of success has shifted over time, what led her to shave her head, and how that decision changed the way she sees herself. Maddie also gets candid about leaving a toxic coaching relationship, the moment she realized something was deeply wrong, and how naming that emotional abuse completely transformed her relationship with snowboarding. She shares what her support system looks like today, how she keeps her love for the sport alive without burning out, what rest truly means to her, and the mental health tools she leans on most.

In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with Dancing with the Stars pro Ezra Sosa! Ezra reflects on this past season and how it finally gave him the opportunity to fully showcase his talent for both dance and choreography, including the story behind his freestyle dance and what that piece meant to him personally. He opens up about what it was like partnering with Olympian Jordan Chiles, navigating the intense scrutiny and hate on social media, and the boundaries he’s learned to set online to protect his peace. Ezra also shares how he keeps his love for dance alive despite the pressure, what mental health looks like for him while on tour, and the advice older pros gave him that stayed with him. He opens up about being a queer performer, honoring both his masculine and feminine sides, and how he stays grounded in who he is within an industry that often expects you to look, act, and dress a certain way.

In this week’s episode, Tay is joined by fitness entrepreneur, model, and creator Katie Austin! Katie opens up about how anxiety played a major role in her decision to step away from competitive sports and what that chapter of her life really felt like. She shares how her relationship with fitness has evolved over time, shifting from working out for weight loss to moving her body for her mental health, and why finding workouts you can actually stick to, even if it’s just walking, matters so much. Katie also talks about what it’s like when fitness is such a big part of her career, how she makes time to work out for herself, and the story behind landing her Sports Illustrated and the friendships she’s formed with the SI girls along the way. She also gets real about setting boundaries with social media, her journey to finding the right therapist, her Katie Austin Fitness app, and one of her favorite forms of self-care!

In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with celebrity hairstylist and author Chris Appleton! Chris shares what inspired him to write his book Your Roots Don’t Define You and why now felt like the right time to reflect on his past, including the challenges that shaped him long before success. He opens up about how he first found his way into hair, the moment that changed everything when he did Christina Aguilera’s hair on The Voice, and what he would tell anyone who’s afraid to chase their dreams when the odds feel stacked against them. Chris also gets deeply personal about the role fear played in his life, from the fear of disappointing the people he loved most while coming out to his ex-partner and children, to the shame he carried for years and what ultimately helped him heal. He shares what led him to a breaking point and a suicide attempt, how he found his way back, and what self-care looks like for him now.
