The Deep Coach

What if many of the challenges we face in our organizations and our world are fundamentally problems of consciousness?

In this episode of The Deep Coach, Jonathan sits down with Amy Elizabeth Fox, co-founder and CEO of Mobius Executive Leadership and co-author of Leading in Chaos, for a deeply personal conversation about healing, leadership, trauma, spirituality, and human transformation.

Amy shares how fear and difficult experiences in childhood sparked an early spiritual search, how music became a portal into experiences of the divine, and how facing cancer in her twenties brought profound clarity to the purpose of her life.

From there, they explore Amy’s journey into leadership development and her pioneering work bringing deeper healing into organizational settings. Amy explains why changing behaviors and mindsets alone often isn’t enough, how unresolved trauma can shape the way executives lead and relate, and what becomes possible when leaders begin addressing the deeper material they carry.

They also explore vertical development, embodiment and somatic practice, collective trauma, the importance of integration after transformational experiences, and the surprising kinds of organizations embracing this work.

Ultimately, the conversation widens beyond leadership itself into what this moment in history may be asking of us: greater interdependence, surrender, service, and a willingness to become what Amy calls an “instrument of repair.”

There comes a point on every transformational journey when our attention begins to shift—from healing and understanding ourselves to feeling called to serve others.

In this solo episode of The Deep Coach Podcast, Jonathan Hermida explores three stages of this journey: healing, learning, and serving. He looks at what happens when we get stuck in endless learning, the temptation to compare ourselves to more polished voices, and why stepping into service doesn’t require becoming an influencer or having everything figured out.

Ultimately, the transition from seeker to guide begins with something much simpler: connecting with others, trusting what has been cultivated within you, and finding the places where you feel genuinely called to serve.

Most of us spend our lives trying to fix ourselves.

But what if healing isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering who you’ve always been?

In this episode of The Deep Coach Podcast, Jonathan Hermida sits down with internationally renowned breathwork teacher, author, and TEDx speaker Christian de la Huerta for a profound conversation about healing trauma, understanding the ego, reclaiming personal power, and awakening to our deeper nature.

Christian shares his remarkable journey from depression and self-hatred to decades of guiding transformational experiences around the world through breathwork. Together, they explore why trauma lives in the body, why awareness alone isn’t enough for lasting change, and how conscious relationships become one of our greatest paths for healing.

Whether you’re a coach, therapist, leader, or simply someone committed to your own growth, this conversation offers practical wisdom alongside deep spiritual insight.

What if awakening isn’t enough? 

In this profound conversation, Jonathan sits down with transformational leadership pioneer Nicholas Janni to explore the intersection of healing, awakening, and conscious leadership. Nicholas shares his extraordinary journey—from London’s underground music scene, to Tibetan Buddhism, radical theater in Poland and Switzerland, drumming in West Africa, bodywork in Hawaii, and ultimately into the boardrooms of some of the world’s most powerful organizations. 

Together they unpack why so many leaders are unconsciously driven by deficit, how trauma shapes performance, what it means to become a “Leader as Healer,” and why humanity may be standing at the edge of an entirely new paradigm. This is a conversation about flow, presence, enoughness, and the deeper intelligence that emerges when we get out of our own way. 

If you’re a coach, leader, entrepreneur, or seeker, this episode will challenge how you think about success, healing, and transformation.

What if the journey of transformation isn’t a journey at all, but actually a distraction from what's really here?

In this expansive conversation, Jonathan sits with Nithya Shanti to explore the tension between seeking and surrender, monkhood and worldly life, silence and expression. Nithya shares his path from childhood loss to monastic devotion, and the eventual unraveling of the very ideas that once shaped his spiritual identity.

Together, they unpack the paradoxes of growth, the complexity of money and relationships, and why true wisdom may lie in loosening our concepts rather than refining them.

In this episode:

01:38 – Questioning the idea of transformation
03:08 – Childhood loss and the shaping of identity
05:22 – Meditation at 16 and the first seeds of awakening
08:06 – Leaving corporate life to become a monk
09:02 – Family resistance and inner certainty
11:05 – The beauty and simplicity of monastery life
13:32 – When the cracks began to appear
18:56 – Leaving monkhood behind
20:34 – Starting over and learning the value of pricing
22:58 – Translating spiritual wisdom into the corporate world
25:41 – Navigating money, relationships, and contradiction
32:09 – From seeking happiness to spreading happiness
35:36 – How his teachings have evolved
37:34 – Why naming creates separation
46:25 – Trusting the process, not your ideas of it
50:13 – Life as practice and building community
52:28 – Walking away from social media

Key Takeaways

Transformation may be less about change and more about dis-identification

The desire for enlightenment can itself become an obstacle

Money is deeply relational and reveals unconscious patterns

Contradiction is not a flaw—it’s part of being human

Life often supports us most when we loosen control

Presence isn’t something to achieve—it’s what remains when striving softens
