    Leading in Chaos: Healing, Consciousness & the Future of Leadership with Amy Elizabeth Fox

    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.” In This Episode 02:43 Childhood Fear And Control 04:40 Music As Divine Portal 06:43 Grace And Spiritual Teachers 10:37 Cancer And Life Purpose 13:33 From Cathedral To Mobius 16:31 Faith Meets Climate Action 20:41 Beyond Behavior Change 22:31 Trauma In The Workplace 27:23 Executive Healing Outcomes 31:49 Integration After Breakthrough 33:56 Synchronicity And Seeking 35:06 Heart Opening Group Alchemy 36:29 Vertical Development Defined 37:34 Embodiment Somatic Practices 40:21 Organizations Ready For This 46:38 Repair Bowing Down Conclusion Connect with Amy Elizabeth Fox Website: www.amyelizabethfox.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/amyelizabethfox/ Learn More About Our Work At the Center: Website: https://www.centerfortransformationalcoaching.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thedeepcoachInstagram: https://instagram.com/thedeepcoach➡️ Download our Free Guide: "How to Make a Living as a Transformational Coach" 💡 Please subscribe to get updates on the latest episodes.

    The Healing Power of Breathwork, Ego & Trauma with Christian de la Huerta

    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.

    Nicholas Janni: Why Awakening Alone Isn’t Enough | Healing, Leadership & The Future of Conscious Business

    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.  ⏰ Timestamps  02:52 London Subculture Awakening  05:43 Buddhist Breakthrough  09:48 Theater as Spiritual Path  21:27 From Flow to Healing Work  37:23 Healing Base Camp Rises  38:57 Leader as Healer Origins  44:36 Bringing Healing to Executives  48:43 Enoughness and Awakened Economics  58:10 New Paradigm and Closing Advice  ____________________  🔗 Connect with Nicholas:  Website: https://www.nicholasjanni.com/  Leadership Work: https://www.thematrixdevelopment.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholas-janni/  📘 Books:  Leader as Healer⁠: https://a.co/d/0fX2GxY2  Leading in Chaos⁠: https://a.co/d/0hn4f2xw    Learn More About Our Work At the Center: Website: https://www.centerfortransformationalcoaching.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thedeepcoachInstagram: https://instagram.com/thedeepcoach➡️ Download our Free Guide: "How to Make a Living as a Transformational Coach" 💡 Please subscribe to get updates on the latest episodes.

    From Monkhood to the Real World | The Illusion of Transformation, Money, and Letting Go with Nithya Shanti

    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.
