Jessica Guthrie is squeezed. A decade ago, at 26 years old, Jessica unexpectedly became a caregiver for her mom, Constance, who is now living with late-stage Alzheimer's. Over the years, Jessica has left behind a life in Texas, moved back home to Virginia, and quit her job to focus on caregiving full-time. While so much of her life is on hold, Jessica has gained a lot and found a powerful community of caregivers online.  Squeezed is a Lemonada Media original.

Sadé is squeezed. Five years ago, she became a first-time parent. She expected her parents to help her out with the day-to-day work. But a series of unforeseen diagnoses left Sadé in an all-hands-on-deck caregiver situation – taking care of a new baby and her aging parents. Sadé is the family's “Goddess of Efficiency,” and while she's busy caring for everyone else, her own debilitating health needs often end up in last place.  Squeezed is a Lemonada Media original.

It's hard enough being Squeezed. But helping others who are, too? That's a superpower. And Shilpa is our hero. She's a mom to one son and also runs CARES, a world-class therapeutic school and rehabilitation program for vulnerable teens at Mount Sinai Morningside, a hospital located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. She supports young people on the rocky road from childhood to adulthood. But caregiving at home and at work while also caring for herself is a constant balancing act.

Hey listeners, we're back with Episode 2 of Squeezed. This episode features another person who is feeling very Squeezed. Jessica is a stay-at-home mom with three kids under six. She is a former daycare worker who didn't plan to be a full-time mom, but since money is tight and childcare is expensive, she has no other choice. Jessica fell through the cracks of our system that does not support care workers — but she's discovered profound meaning in her life as a stay-at-home mom and is using this time to break generational cycles.

Across the country, reproductive freedom is popular – 63 percent of Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. So why don't our laws reflect the will of the people? As the Executive Director of Unite for Reproductive & Gender Equity (URGE), Kimberly Inez McGuire breaks down how opponents of abortion access have targeted voting rights and democracy to advance their agenda – and how we can all fight back at the polls and beyond.  Learn more about the work happening at URGE to protect democracy by visiting urge.org.  This series is supported by Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and Levi Strauss Foundation.

State Supreme Courts are crucial to abortion rights, yet most people have no idea what these courts do. Or that in many states we actually vote for these judges. Thirty-three states will have supreme court seats on the ballot this November. Alicia Bannon of State Court Report tells us why these courts matter to abortion rights and how to be better informed going to the ballot box. We'll also zoom in on Texas, where the Find Out PAC is trying to unseat three Republican justices on the Texas Supreme Court.  Read coverage on State Supreme Courts at statecourtreport.org and learn more about the 2024 Election at statecourtreport.org/election-2024.

You can get even more Fail Better with Lemonada Premium, where I share the extended thoughts I have after each interview. Here's a free peek at what you could be getting: My conversation with Lisa Loeb, that came out earlier this week, really unlocked some things for me. Plus, it dovetailed well into some of the thoughts I was having after talking with another musician recently, Kathleen Hanna. Lisa got me thinking about perfectionism and finding joy in our work, while Kathleen Hanna had me pondering how a pop song or a rock song can be a conduit for an idea, especially a politically charged one.

Does universal Pre-K guarantee school readiness? To answer that question the podcast is headed to Wisconsin! Land of freezing winters, dairy cows, and universal Pre-K. Back in the 1980s, Wisconsin made publicly funded preschool almost ubiquitous throughout the state. But they're still suffering from a massive underinvestment in childcare and early education, as well as one of the worst racial achievement gaps in the country. Gloria talks to Angela Harris, elementary school teacher and chairwoman of the Milwaukee Black Educators' Caucus, about the importance of early education in preparing kids for kindergarten. Then Gloria talks to Brooke Legler, a childcare center owner and activist, about the post-pandemic childcare funding crisis in Wisconsin and how we can make sure every kid in Wisconsin has a chance at success.

One of those is in impact investing. Small but growing, Care Access Real Estate (CARE) is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). Today, home-based providers often struggle with landlords and Homeowner Associations (HOAs) who put roadblocks in the way of obtaining a license to operate. CARE seeks to "unlock the full potential and aspirations of center and home-based providers". CARE does this as a childcare friendly landlord aiming to expand supply where demand is acute in under-resourced areas. Ultimately, CARE seeks to build the wealth of childcare providers by putting them on a path of one day owning their own home.  Mission Driven Finance invests in homes as childcare infrastructure. One by one, real dreams of working in this space are coming true. Childcare is infrastructure: it is the pathway to success for parents, caregivers, early educators, and most importantly the children themselves. If No One Is Coming to Save US, we must save ourselves.  You can find more on CARE and Mission Driven Finance here:  https://www.missiondrivenfinance.com/invest/real-estate/care/ Follow No One is Coming to Save Us wherever you get your podcasts, or listen ad-free on Amazon Music with your Prime Membership.

In May 2024, a six-week abortion ban went into effect in Florida, dramatically limiting access for women across the South. While Floridians are living with this new reality, they're also gearing up to change it. Gloria talks with Lauren Brenzel, campaign director for Floridians Protecting Freedom / Yes on 4, who is fighting for the November ballot measure that would protect abortion access in the state constitution and reverse the 6-week ban.

Climate change is not just an issue for our children's children. We are already feeling its effects today. Gloria talks to two experts who lived through historic California wildfires and droughts in recent years. Dr. Lisa Patel, a pediatrician and clinical associate professor at Stanford Medicine, tells Gloria about how scorching heat waves and wildfire pollutants can trigger asthma in children. She also advises how parents and schools can be better prepared for increasingly hot days. Then, we hear from Susan Gilmore, the director of an early education center in Northern California. As public schools closed down, Susan and her team quickly reopened so families could safely send their kids to class.

We start Season 2 of The Defenders in Arizona, where abortion rights have been in turmoil since the overturn of Roe. Now, a citizen-led effort is trying to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution through a ballot measure. November's election may not only change the fate of abortion in this crucial swing state; it could also flip the state legislature and impact control of the U.S. Senate and the fate of the White House. Learn more about Arizona's abortion ballot measure at arizonaforabortionaccess.org, and Reproductive Freedom For All's work in Arizona at reproductivefreedomforall.org/state/arizona.   This series is supported by Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and Levi Strauss Foundation.

Did you know that families with young children are one of the most likely groups to experience homelessness? Being a new parent is hard enough – it's nearly impossible when you don't have stable housing. This week Gloria's talking to Kate Barrand, who runs Horizons for Homeless Children, an organization in Boston providing quality childcare and early education to unhoused families. They're doing incredible work, and Kate has some powerful insights into what it takes  to help families find stability. Then Gloria talks to Caitlin Liversidge, a new mother in San Francisco who found herself unhoused and pregnant last summer, about what it took for her to make it through pregnancy and find stability.

There's a mental health crisis in America. If we want to turn that around, we need to start from the very beginning of a person's life. Gloria speaks to Terri Chebot, an infant mental health consultant, about the huge role that childcare providers play in children's emotional and social growth. With so much on the line from the ages of 0-5, how caregivers handle a child's emotions is everything. Then, we hear from Grace Blanco, the director of an early learning center in Newark, N.J.. Grace saw firsthand how the pandemic delayed children's development. But through patience and a lot of individual attention, she also saw them bounce back.  Special thanks to our partners who have made this season possible!  This series is produced with Neighborhood Villages.

On the first episode of Season 4, Gloria's taking a look at how quality childcare and early education can help families break out of poverty, and what that means for our country's future. First, Gloria hears from Professor Jorge Luís Garcia, an economist at Texas A&M University whose research shows that investing in young children pays dividends for decades. Then she connects with Emily Centeio, who grew up in a low-income immigrant household and now helps to run an early learning center, Epiphany, dedicated to helping families like hers break out of poverty.

While the majority of the country supports abortion, much of the mainstream media has a long way to go to represent abortion accurately and ethically.

For some people it's the most wonderful time of the year but for other's Christmas can be a time of great overwhelm, stress or sadness. It's also a time when we're thrown into all sorts of festivities, Christmas parties and meet ups, 12 pubs and pints with your mates, which all tend to centre around alcohol.  Although all of these events can be fun, December can really highlight our culture's complicated relationship with alcohol. Niall is joined by psychotherapist, Olympic medalist and recovery advocate Kenneth Egan, and Alcohol Action Ireland's Head of Policy & Advocacy, Jennifer Hough, to shine a light on the toxic behaviours that have become so ingrained in society and to open your mind to exploring your own relationship with alcohol. Both Kenneth and Jennifer share their own experiences with alcohol harm but also explain the bigger forces at play in a country that often prioritises an economy over society, and the mental health issues that are often underlying in alcohol abuse.  Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.

In the last number of months we've been exploring how social and societal factors impact the little piece of meat between our ears. Our biggest question, and challenge, is to break down barriers with governance to create better systems for mental health and wellbeing.  Niall is joined by Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Paschal Donohoe, to ask what the missing links are when it comes to Ireland's governance and our collective wellbeing. They discuss why policies often feel like they prioritise economic growth over people, how inequality leads to social issues that are damaging on so many levels and Ireland's chance to be world leaders in better resourcing housing, healthcare and wellbeing for a healthier and happier society.  Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.

How do you make a complicated reproductive choice when you're racing against the clock? We follow two women in Georgia as they figure out how to end their pregnancies in a state with a 6-week ban.

If we are ever going to truly help people, we need to change the way we look at people's wellbeing and mental health. Exercising, breathwork, yoga, self help books and even mindfulness are all great tools, but they are not going to be the fix when our whole foundation is in tatters.  We're back in the Therapy Room with our expert psychologists Louize Carroll and Dr. Tony Bates, taking a look at Gallup's ‘Five Essential Elements of Well-Being'.  These are career, social, financial, physical and community, and Tony and Louize break down why these foundational elements of our existence are vital and how when they're not met people can end up in the therapy room thinking they are the problem. Social forces have so much influence on us and are often completely out of our control, but there are some small steps we can take to steady ourselves amongst the chaos.  Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.

Where is My Mind? has been on a tour of Ireland over the last number of weeks and we promised we'd bring you some of our most moving conversations from the road.  We have spoken many times about the harrowing Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) report that came out earlier this year and how detrimental some of the treatment has been to children and young people. When Niall took the podcast to a stage in Listowel, Co. Kerry he knew he wanted to speak to local man Davin Godfrey, who has been one of the young people gravely affected by the services, having been put on six different types of medication at once despite no formal diagnosis. Davin is a wonderful young man and tells the story of how this impacted his life, the reason behind him waiving his anonymity and why we can't let this happen to any child or person ever again.  This episode touches on some difficult subjects, take care when listening.  Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.
