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).

In this episode of Eighty Twenty, Georgia and Shanina welcome hypnotherapist, mindset coach, and musician, Atarah Valentine. Atarah shares openly about his journey to becoming a mindset coach, starting from a childhood filled with abuse and bullying which led him to constantly seek external validation through musical success and appearance. Despite achieving outward signs of success like a record deal, Atarah struggled with self-esteem and wanting to transform himself thinking it would help his insides “catch up”. His unhealthy perfectionism fueled an eating disorder while he emotionally detached from his real self more and more. Eventually realizing unconditional self-acceptance was necessary to feel whole, Atarah found self-compassion and began helping others by organically sharing his experience through social media.  It was through this that Atarah found his new calling as a hypnotherapist and mindset coach, booked out 6 months in advance! He explains his belief that no one is fundamentally broken or has internal wounds needing healed – instead it’s about unlearning past conditioning and reactions through understanding how the brain works. Atarah shares emotional intelligence tools and techniques from his practice, emphasizing the importance of separating feelings from thoughts and developing the skill of emotional resilience. Throughout the conversation, themes emerge around the danger of using external achievement as a stand-in for intrinsic self-worth and self-acceptance. Atarah offers perspective on embracing change as an ongoing learning process based in compassion rather than striving for perfection. He models vulnerability, encouraging crying openly to unload against the overwhelming and uncertain aspects of life. The dialogue highlights mindfulness and presence as central to living wholeheartedly. Make sure to subscribe below and check out all of our socials for more exciting content from Eighty Twenty!

In this episode of Eighty Twenty, Georgia Sinclair and Shanina Shaik are joined by Aggie Lal, an expert biohacker and author of the recently published book “Biohack Like a Woman.” Aggie explains how biohacking is about continuously improving health, feeling amazing, and even reversing your biological age. Simple hacks involve eating your food in the right order to lose weight, learning to eat train and fast according to your cycle to optimize your health. They discuss optimizing nutrition, outlining the importance of balancing your blood sugar levels. Aggie recommends eating vegetables first, then protein and fats, finishing with minimal carbs. She advises avoiding inflammatory seed oils, instead opting for olive, avocado and coconut oils, as well as grass-fed butter. Oat milk spikes blood sugar, whereas coconut milk boasts inflammation-reducing fats. On reducing biological age, Aggie focuses on decreasing inflammation through muscle building, which enables your body to handle sugar intake. Fasting, detoxes, and diet upgrades all help achieve this anti-inflammatory state. Though the concept seems restrictive, Aggie believes biohacking is about feeling and functioning at your best. Overall, Georgia and Shanina find Aggie’s approachable methods towards bettering your health highly compelling. Inspired to slowly integrate these life-enhancing, achievable biohacks, Georgia and Shanina look forward to continuing their biohacking journey. Check out Aggie Lal’s “Biohack Like a Woman”, out now!
