About David
I built this for the person I used to be.
Hi, I’m David. A few years ago I was lost, numb, and convinced this was just who I’d always be. I found my way back through small, honest choices, and Finding My Wave exists so you don’t have to walk that road alone.
My story
The short, honest version.
For a long time, I was just getting through the day. I lived paycheck to paycheck, numbing myself, chasing validation in all the wrong places, and hurting people I cared about along the way. I was eventually diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and somewhere underneath it all I had quietly accepted that this was simply who I was.
It didn’t change in one dramatic moment. It changed slowly, through small choices, made over and over, until they became a different life. Learning to be honest with myself. Learning to speak to myself with a little respect. Taking care of my body, quieting my mind, and reconnecting with something bigger than me. None of it was fancy. All of it worked.
“You weren’t born to be miserable. You were born to be loved.”
Once I felt what was possible on the other side of that darkness, I couldn’t keep it to myself. So I started sharing what helped me, in the simplest, most honest way I could. That’s all Finding My Wave really is: the understanding, the tools, and the proof I wish someone had handed me when I was at my lowest.
What I believe
Self-love isn’t a feeling. It’s a skill you can learn.
And it’s built in three places at once, your body, your mind, and your spirit.
Where I have real expertise
Sleep is my specialty.
Real experience, and honest limits.
Sleep is the one area where I bring formal, professional expertise, and it’s the foundation I always start people with, because better sleep makes everything else easier. Everything else I share comes from research, real experience, and living it myself.
