Squeeze Limes

January is a pressure cooker.

The holidays are over, the noise dies down, and suddenly you’re face-to-face with your relationship, or the reality of being single. In this episode, we talk about why January is peak breakup season, why loneliness feels louder in winter, and why dating during this time can feel equal parts hopeful and exhausting.

We get into coupling season, uncoupling season, and everything in between. From dating apps and chance encounters to rejection, self-respect, and putting yourself out there without abandoning your boundaries. We talk honestly about wh...

It’s January 1st, and instead of resolutions, we’re talking about something quieter — and more honest.

In this New Year’s episode, we unpack why starting fresh doesn’t have to mean starting over, how resolutions can sometimes set us up to fail, and what it really looks like to set intentions that actually stick. From SMART goals and habit stacking to Dry January, hustle culture, and the pressure to always be “doing more,” we slow the whole thing down.

We talk about presence, reflection, gratitude, and why honoring what you’ve already...

This episode starts with a baby on the mic and ends with a whole new chapter cracking open.

Tyler brings her daughter, Dylan, into the room, then drops a surprise that sends Robin straight into tears — baby number two is on the way. What unfolds is a raw, funny, deeply honest conversation about pregnancy the second time around, nesting energy, superstition, fear, excitement, and how your relationship to all of it changes once you’ve been here before.

We talk about the physical realities of pregnancy, the pressure people love to proj...

People-pleasing looks soft on the surface, but underneath it’s a slow leak — draining your confidence, your voice, your identity. In this episode, we crack open what we call the “please disease” — that reflex to say yes when every part of you is whispering please, not again.

We talk about why so many adults freeze at the thought of asking for what they need, how fear of rejection rewires relationships, and what happens when “being agreeable” becomes your whole personality. Because it’s not just dating or work or family… it’s everywhere, and it’s exhausting...

Negative self-talk is sneaky. One “I can’t,” one “I’m sorry,” one “I’m so stupid” feels small, but your brain treats it like truth. And the research-backed reality is brutal — it takes a hundred positive messages to undo one negative one.

In this episode, we break down the everyday language that drains your confidence and the tiny mindset shifts that actually rewire your brain. From flipping “I can’t” into something doable, to replacing habitual apologies, to modeling real self-respect for your kids, we’re talking about the words that quietly shape your life and the ones that set y...

If you have ever had a stranger grab your pregnant belly, stroke your baby’s cheeks or tell you their three day birth horror story in the cereal aisle, this one is for you. On this Thanksgiving release we talk about why people lose their minds around pregnant women and babies, why “just you wait” culture is so toxic and how to protect your peace without apologizing.

From pregnancy boundaries and consent to the pressure to “bounce back” after birth, we share raw stories about body comments, postpartum expectations and what it really feels like when your hormones...

Going home for any holiday can feel like stepping into a time machine—same house, same jokes, same roles you thought you outgrew.

In this episode of Squeeze Limes, Robin and Tyler unpack real holiday anxiety, the emotional whiplash of returning to family dynamics, and what happens when people expect you to be the version of you they remember instead of the person you’ve become.

We talk about universal holiday triggers: food shaming, portion policing, pressure to drink, unsolicited comments, and the relatives who poke without realizing they’re poking. You’ll...

Pelvic floor physical therapy made clear with Dr. Maggie Collins. Learn what the pelvic floor does, why urine leakage is common and not normal, how stress drives overactive bladder, plus why a C-section doesn’t “save” your pelvic floor. We cover painful sex myths, what a trauma-informed exam looks like, simple fixes you can start today, and how to ask your doctor for a referral.

What you’ll take away: bladder intervals that work, the eight-second pee rule, breathe-out lifting, squatty potty and bidet basics, tension vs weakness and real paths to relief.
