    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. In this episode: 01:38 – Questioning the idea of transformation03:08 – Childhood loss and the shaping of identity05:22 – Meditation at 16 and the first seeds of awakening08:06 – Leaving corporate life to become a monk09:02 – Family resistance and inner certainty11:05 – The beauty and simplicity of monastery life13:32 – When the cracks began to appear18:56 – Leaving monkhood behind20:34 – Starting over and learning the value of pricing22:58 – Translating spiritual wisdom into the corporate world25:41 – Navigating money, relationships, and contradiction32:09 – From seeking happiness to spreading happiness35:36 – How his teachings have evolved37:34 – Why naming creates separation46:25 – Trusting the process, not your ideas of it50:13 – Life as practice and building community52:28 – 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 Connect with Nithya Facebook⁠: https://www.facebook.com/spreadinghappiness/  YouTube⁠: https://www.youtube.com/nithyashanti LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nithyashanti/ 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 Pathless Path: How to Trust Life When Everything Falls Apart with Phyllis Lane

    Many people believe that if they can just find the right plan, the right strategy, or the right path… life will finally feel stable, clear, and under control.  But for Phyllis Lane, life unfolded in a very different way.  After the unraveling of a long-term relationship, the collapse of a shared business, and the loss of many of the structures she once relied on, Phyllis found herself with nothing to hold onto—no clear direction, no plan, and no guarantees.  What emerged wasn’t a new strategy. It was a deeper way of living.  In this conversation, Phyllis shares how she learned to move beyond the thinking mind and into a life guided by intuition, presence, and trust. Through creativity, movement, and deep inner listening, she discovered what it means to live the “pathless path”—where life is no longer something you control, but something you allow to move through you.  Together, Jonathan and Phyllis explore what it truly means to let go of control, trust the unknown, and follow the aliveness of life itself.  What we explore in this episode…  01:51 Reunion and the beginning of an unraveling  03:26 Growing up in a turbulent environment and developing sensitivity  04:57 Martial arts as the first doorway into intuition  05:39 The modeling world and a wake-up call around identity  06:48 Leaving New York and moving to the desert in search of something deeper  07:49 Art as the turning point back into the inner world  09:33 Movement, creativity, and releasing stored emotional energy  12:17 Trusting the flow and becoming a channel for life  18:54 Lessons from business, partnership, and pressure  24:21 Inner child healing and learning not to abandon yourself  31:34 When life tests your peace  32:36 “Going home” as a spiritual practice  34:38 Meeting fear at the edge of the unknown  35:44 Intuition as a daily devotion  40:20 Trusting creative work and the flow of income  50:23 Her book Living the Flow and the final invitation to leap  ___________________________  🔗 Connect with Phyllis  🌐 Website: www.phyllislane.com  📸 Instagram: @phyllislane    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.

    What Happens After Awakening? Insights From a Former Buddhist Monk with Steven Lane

    What happens after a spiritual awakening? Many people imagine awakening as the end of the journey — a permanent state of clarity, wisdom, and freedom. But for Steven Lane, a spontaneous awakening in his mid-twenties was only the beginning. In this conversation, Steven shares the surprising reality that followed his awakening experience. Despite profound insights into the nature of reality, he discovered that old patterns, conditioning, and human limitations didn’t simply disappear. Wanting to understand what had opened within him, Steven spent seven years as a Buddhist monk before eventually returning to the world — building a family, studying psychotherapy and coaching, and developing an integrative approach to transformational work.   In this episode, Jonathan Hermida and Steven explore the deeper arc of transformation: awakening, integration, and the ongoing work of becoming fully human. What we explore in this episode...  02:19 Before The Shift 02:38 Early Inner Calling 05:06 Rebel Years In Germany 08:13 Meditation Meets Hedonism 12:02 Psychic Warning Signs 15:59 Remove The Veil 19:39 Dreamlike Awakening Night 22:36 Integration And Aftermath 31:50 Monk Life And Tantra Drive 38:03 Cult Red Flags And Spain 41:48 Tara Wisdom And Healing 45:12 Leaving Robes And Marriage 46:29 Spiritual Bypassing Breakdown 47:32 Freedom and New Search 50:15 Angels and Healing Session 55:35 Dzogchen Homecoming 01:05:05 Koans and Cardiac Wakeup 01:15:04 Integration and Final Advice 🔗 Connect with Steven Website: www.transformationalcoaching.ie Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stevenlanecoach/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-lane-transformationalcoach/ 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.
