S2 / EP9 - How To Build Emotional Fitness And Heal Heartbreak. - With Star Jesse Taylor

In this episode of Eighty Twenty, Georgia and Shanina sit down with Star Jesse Taylor, a mental health and relationship coach who exploded as a Tik Tok sensation. Star shares his journey of overcoming OCD and mental health challenges using techniques such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP). Star dives deep into the concept of cognitive diffusion, emphasizing that we are not our thoughts or emotions, even though it often feels that way. Throughout the episode, Star provides practical advice on how to change mental health patterns by altering our behavior both inside our heads (not engaging with thoughts) and outside our heads (doing valued actions even when uncomfortable feelings arise). He introduces the idea of focusing on "valued actions" in seven key areas of life with visuals on his whiteboard: physical fitness, creative expression, romantic relationships, family/friend relationships, relaxation, business/money, and fun. Star Jesse also discusses the importance of avoiding compulsions, which are actions taken to control or get rid of unwanted feelings or thoughts, as they only strengthen the mental patterns we're trying to break free from. He shares insights on how venting emotions can make them worse in the long run, and suggests accepting emotions without trying to fix them while refocusing attention on valued actions. Throughout the conversation, Star uses relatable analogies and real-life examples to illustrate his points, making the content engaging and easy to understand. Listeners are left with a wealth of practical tools and insights to help them navigate their own mental health journeys and live more fulfilling lives.
