What would you do if you left everything behind to travel the world and find yourself? And what if you then began trusting whatever life presented—without question—saying yes to it all?
That’s exactly what Jonathan did.
In this special episode, the tables turn. Founder of the Center for Transformational Coaching, Leon VanderPol, interviews Jonathan Hermida, host of The Deep Coach Podcast and Managing Director of the Center, about his own journey of awakening and surrender.
Jonathan shares how he went from living a life of default—driven by success, approval, and survival—to leaving behind his corporate job, his home, and the familiar world he knew in search of truth and freedom.
His story takes us across continents and through profound inner transformation: from heartbreak and mindfulness to plant medicine, love, and finding his purpose through service.
It’s a conversation about grace, courage, and the deep trust that arises when we let life lead.
