Nikki Reed: The Power of Purpose Pt. 1

In this week’s episode, Tay and Taylor are joined by actress, entrepreneur, and sustainability advocate Nikki Reed — marking the first time The Squeeze has ever welcomed someone from the Twilight franchise! Nikki and Taylor reminisce on how they first met, share memories from filming, and look back on what it was really like to be part of a cultural phenomenon. Nikki reveals how she first heard about the movie, what ultimately made her want to join, and the moment she realized Twilight was about to take over the world. She then opens up about stepping away from acting to focus on wellness, family, and sustainability — all rooted in her drive to live a mission-based life. Nikki and Taylor get candid about mental health during the height of fame, the pressures that came with it, and the lessons they’ve both learned since. Come back next week for part two, where Nikki shares how she prioritizes time for herself and her family, the role therapy plays in her life, why she co-founded The Absorption Company, and more! 00:00 Intro & Welcome Nikki 05:23 Jumping into Twilight 14:55 Nikki & Taylor First Meeting One Another 23:25 Twilight’s Fame & Not Knowing What Came Next 30:20 Being Yourself vs. Your Character 38:18 Stepping Back from the Industry 44:22 Impact on Their Mental Health 54:04 Next week on The Squeeze… Be sure to follow Nikki   / nikkireed  !
