  • How To Overcome Obstacles, a surprising framework with Coach Storm Sims

    How To Overcome Obstacles, a surprising framework with Coach Storm Sims
    Apr 11 2025
    In this episode of the TAO-Living podcast, I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Coach Storm Sims, a remarkable individual with an impressive background as a 28-year veteran of the U.S. military. Storm is not only a master fitness trainer but also a Spartan SGX coach, martial arts instructor, military combatives instructor, parkour instructor, and now a ninja warrior instructor. His diverse expertise and passion for self-improvement resonate deeply with the core themes of the TAO Living podcast, which focuses on the art of living and the journey of constant self-discovery. We dove right into the conversation by exploring the profound connection between movement and mental-emotional resilience. Storm emphasized that our bodies are designed to move, and engaging in physical activity releases essential chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine, which can lead to a flow state and a craving for movement. This connection is vital, especially in a society that has become increasingly sedentary. We discussed how movement not only enhances physical fitness but also improves mental clarity and emotional well-being. Storm shared insights from his gym in Clarksville, Tennessee, where he focuses on teaching practical and tactical embodiment to enhance resilience. His mission is to provide individuals with the right mindset and training to overcome challenges, which aligns perfectly with the podcast's theme of empowerment and growth. We talked about the importance of challenging societal norms, particularly the misconception that aging means slowing down. Instead, Storm advocates for continuous movement and engagement, regardless of age, to maintain vitality and strength. Throughout our discussion, we touched on the significance of overcoming obstacles, both in the gym and in life. Storm shared a framework he uses to help his clients break down challenges into manageable steps, allowing them to build confidence and momentum. This approach not only applies to physical training but also translates into everyday life, helping individuals tackle projects and personal goals without feeling overwhelmed. We also explored the importance of lifelong learning and how it contributes to mental agility and resilience. Storm highlighted that when we stop learning, we risk stagnation and decline, both mentally and physically. He encouraged listeners to embrace new skills and knowledge, reinforcing the idea that growth is a continuous journey. As we wrapped up the episode, Storm left us with a powerful message: to claim your life and take action towards your dreams. Whether it's planning a trip or pursuing a new passion, he urged listeners to reverse engineer their goals and start taking steps towards achieving them. This episode is a treasure trove of insights on movement, mindset, and the art of living fully. I encourage you to listen in, absorb the wisdom Storm shares, and consider how you can apply these principles to your own life. 00:00:00 - Introduction to TAO Living Podcast Welcome to the TAO Living podcast with host Lou Corleto and guest Storm Sims, a veteran and fitness expert. 00:01:30 - Storm Sims' Impressive Background Overview of Storm's extensive experience in the military and various fitness disciplines. 00:02:44 - The Importance of Movement Discussion on how movement enhances mental and emotional capacities. 00:06:00 - Mind-Body Connection Exploration of the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in personal growth. 00:08:05 - Obstacle Training and Its Benefits How obstacle training improves physical and mental resilience. 00:10:12 - Quality of Life Through Movement The significance of maintaining physical abilities as we age. 00:12:45 - Teaching Proper Falling Techniques Importance of learning how to fall safely to prevent injuries. 00:14:25 - Challenging Societal Norms Addressing the societal expectations around aging and physical activity. 00:16:10 - Building Confidence Through Training How training helps individuals regain trust in their bodies. 00:18:01 - Regrets of the Dying Discussion on common regrets and the importance of living fully. 00:20:25 - Recommended Reading Suggestions for books that inspire personal growth and challenge societal norms. 00:22:35 - Three Essential Tools for Coaching Storm shares his top three tools for helping clients overcome obstacles. 00:29:29 - The Power of Lifelong Learning The importance of continuous learning for mental health and personal development. 00:30:58 - Movement as a Key to Longevity How regular movement contributes to a longer, healthier life. 00:34:07 - Overcoming Negative Influences Strategies for managing negativity from society and media. 00:39:05 - Mindset for Achieving Goals Encouragement to focus on long-term goals and progress. 00:43:00 - Claiming Your Life Final thoughts on taking control of one's life and pursuing dreams.

  • Becoming Bulletproof: Mastering Life's Unforeseen Challenges

    Becoming Bulletproof: Mastering Life's Unforeseen Challenges
    Jan 19 2025

    In this episode of "TAO Living, the Art of Living," I, Lou Corleto, delve into the pressing need for individuals to become resilient in the face of life's inevitable challenges. Drawing from personal experiences and global events, I highlight how crises—be it natural disasters like wildfires and hurricanes or economic downturns such as the 2008 financial crash and the COVID-19 pandemic—can leave many feeling overwhelmed and unprepared.

    I share my journey of transformation, where I sought out experts across various fields, including psychology, neurology, and spirituality, to develop a comprehensive process that equips individuals with the tools to navigate life's unpredictability. This episode introduces the "Five Day Finland Immersion," a transformative program designed to help participants become "bulletproof" against life's challenges.

    Throughout the episode, I outline the three-step process that participants will engage in during the immersion. The first secret focuses on becoming bulletproof by managing both external and internal environments, emphasizing the importance of brain, breath, and body. I explain how understanding epigenetics can empower individuals to take control of their health and well-being.

    The second secret introduces the "lightning-fast method" for overcoming fears and healing deep traumas without the need for years of therapy. I discuss the significance of rewriting one's narrative and making fear an ally rather than a hindrance.

    The third secret encourages embracing discomfort as a pathway to growth. I emphasize the importance of experiential learning, where participants will not only learn but also practice these transformative techniques in a supportive environment.

    I also introduce my esteemed colleagues who will be joining us in Finland, including world record holder Johanna Norblad, who will guide participants in harnessing the power of breath and cold immersion to enhance mental resilience.

    As I detail the logistics of the immersion, I invite listeners to consider the value of investing in their personal growth and resilience. The episode concludes with a call to action, encouraging those interested to apply for the program and take the first step toward becoming bulletproof in their lives.

    Join me in this episode as we explore the art of living with intention, resilience, and grace, ensuring that when life throws its challenges our way, we are prepared to stand strong and support those around us.

  • Embracing the Journey: Conscious Dying and the Art of Transition with Jane Burnier

    Embracing the Journey: Conscious Dying and the Art of Transition with Jane Burnier
    Jan 16 2025
    In this enlightening episode of the TAO-Living Podcast, titled "Conscious Dying," I, Lou Corleto, have the immense privilege of hosting Jane Burnier, a seasoned teacher and practitioner in the realms of healing and consciousness. Our conversation dives deep into a topic that is often shrouded in fear and taboo within Western culture: death and the process of dying. We begin by exploring Jane's personal journey into the world of conscious dying, which was profoundly influenced by her experiences during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. Witnessing the fear and isolation faced by those suffering from the disease, Jane felt a calling to provide comfort and support to individuals during their final moments. Through her work as a Reiki and massage practitioner, she discovered the beauty and transformation that can occur as a person approaches death, shedding their ego and revealing their true essence. As we unpack the cultural narratives surrounding death, I share my own upbringing, which was steeped in fear and avoidance of the subject. Jane and I discuss how this fear often leads to a lack of authentic connection during the dying process, both for the individual and their loved ones. We emphasize the importance of creating a supportive environment that allows for peace, acceptance, and love during this sacred transition. Throughout the episode, Jane shares poignant stories from her experiences, illustrating the profound moments of clarity and beauty that can arise as individuals approach their final breath. We discuss the significance of conscious dying—not just as an end, but as a continuation of the soul's journey and a vital part of the collective consciousness. We also touch on the role of the medical-industrial complex in prolonging suffering and the importance of advocating for a death that aligns with one's values and beliefs. Jane emphasizes the need for open conversations about death, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own beliefs and fears surrounding the topic. As we near the conclusion of our discussion, Jane offers practical advice for both those who are dying and their loved ones. She highlights the importance of allowing space for the dying to express their fears and desires, and the power of simply being present with them in love and acceptance. In a heartfelt closing, we reflect on the lessons learned from those who have transitioned and the importance of living fully in the present. Jane shares a beautiful passage from her late husband Arno's book, which encapsulates the essence of our conversation: that death is not an end, but a transition into a greater consciousness. This episode serves as a powerful reminder to embrace life and death with love and trust, encouraging listeners to engage in conscious living and dying. If this conversation resonates with you, I invite you to share it widely, as it addresses a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of the human experience. Join us in exploring the Art Of Living and the beauty of conscious dying. 00:00:00 - Introduction to TAO-Living Podcast Welcome to the TAO-Living Podcast with host Lou Corleto, introducing the theme of conscious living and the journey of self-awareness. 00:01:15 - Introducing Jane Burnier Lou introduces guest Jane Burnier, highlighting her extensive experience in healing and consciousness. 00:01:25 - Taboo Topic: Death and Dying Discussion on the cultural taboos surrounding death and the fear associated with it. 00:02:30 - Jane's Journey into Conscious Dying Jane shares her early experiences with death during the AIDS crisis and how it shaped her understanding of conscious dying. 00:06:30 - The Beauty of Conscious Dying Exploration of the transformative moments during death and the essence of individuals as they transition. 00:10:00 - Cultural Shift in Perception of Death Discussion on how the medical model has changed the perception of death from a natural process to something to be feared. 00:12:00 - Conscious Death as a Final Contribution Jane explains the concept of conscious death as a way to evolve consciousness and leave a positive impact. 00:15:00 - The Importance of Environment During Dying The significance of creating a peaceful environment for the dying and the impact of family dynamics. 00:18:00 - Supporting Loved Ones in Transition Advice on how to support those who are dying and the importance of allowing them to let go. 00:20:00 - The Role of Hospice Care Jane discusses the benefits of hospice care in providing a peaceful and dignified dying process. 00:25:00 - Practical Suggestions for Supporting Grieving Families Jane shares practical ways to support families after a loss, emphasizing thoughtful gestures. 00:30:00 - Finding Peace in the Dying Process A story about a woman who found peace in her dying process through connection and nourishment. 00:32:00 - Living Fully to Embrace Death Discussion on the importance of living authentically to avoid regrets at the end of life. 00:35:00 - The...
