  • 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
    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...

  • The Art of Selling Without Feeling Pushy or Salesy: Insights from Carrie Cullen
    Jan 3 2025
    In this episode of the TAO Living Podcast, I had the pleasure of welcoming Carrie Cullen, a former sales executive turned mindset coach. With over 20 years of experience in high-level corporate sales, working with renowned brands like Glamour, Food Network, and HGTV, Carrie brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. In 2021, she made the bold decision to leave her corporate career to pursue her passion for coaching, focusing on helping service-based entrepreneurs overcome their fears and misconceptions about sales. Carrie and I delved into the common struggles faced by service-based professionals, particularly the disconnect between their skills and their ability to effectively market themselves. We explored the internal barriers that often prevent individuals from embracing sales, including limiting beliefs and negative perceptions about the sales process. Carrie emphasized that the key to overcoming these challenges lies in understanding and reshaping our thoughts and beliefs about sales, business, and ourselves. Throughout our conversation, we discussed the importance of mindset, the energetics of sales, and the necessity of aligning with one's inner confidence. Carrie shared valuable insights on how our emotions play a crucial role in the sales process, highlighting that desperation and anxiety can hinder our ability to connect with potential clients. Instead, she encouraged listeners to cultivate positive emotions such as passion and purpose, which can transform the sales experience into a genuine exchange of value. We also touched on the significance of identifying one's ideal client, not just through demographics but by understanding shared values and desired outcomes. Carrie provided practical strategies for building a marketing plan that aligns with individual strengths and preferences, emphasizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to business. As we wrapped up the episode, Carrie offered listeners a free resource titled "How to Sell Without Feeling Pushy or Salesy," available through her Instagram account. She also extended an invitation for a discovery call for those serious about exploring coaching opportunities with her. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with the concept of sales or feeling held back from sharing their gifts with the world. Carrie's insights and actionable strategies can help you break free from limiting beliefs and embrace a more empowered approach to selling.
