The breath is the one thing that we can control and we can use it to change our state.
Ever thought about how something as simple as breathing could transform your life? In this episode of the 'I Am Driven Podcast', Dr. Douglas Brackmann sits down with Taylor Sommerville, a certified XPT master coach and breathwork expert. Taylor's story is one of radical change—from a high-stress career in finance to a focus on mastering stress through breathwork techniques.
After nearly a decade in the stock market and a challenging divorce, Taylor discovered the power of breathwork, ice baths, and hot saunas to manage stress reactions effectively. These techniques are not just about surviving stress but thriving in it. Taylor shares how these practices stimulate the fight-or-flight response and how controlled breathing can help manage those intense moments.
He emphasizes that while we're often told to 'let go,' it's the control over our breath that truly allows us to reach a state of calm. If you've ever struggled with stress or emotional turmoil, Taylor's insights could be the key to finding balance. This episode is packed with practical advice, book recommendations, and even retreats for those looking to dive deeper into the world of breathwork.
Whether you're a high-achiever looking to manage stress or someone seeking more peace in your daily life, Taylor's journey offers valuable lessons on harnessing the power of breath to transform your mental state.
