Dave Johnson: Certified Life Coach

For 31 years, addiction ran my life. For the last four of those years, "home" was the front seat of my car. I know what it feels like to lose everything — and I know, firsthand, what it takes to claw your way back.

Four years ago, I got sober. And I haven't looked back.

But my first rebirth happened long before that. At 18, I was hit head-on by an 18-wheeler. I was pronounced dead at the scene. Doctors told me I wouldn't walk again for a year - I walked in two and a half months, held together by 5 titanium plates and over 30 screws.

A couple years later, I did something that made even less sense to everyone around me: I started cage fighting. I don't let fear rule my mind — so when I found something that scared me, I went straight at it. I was terrified of fighting being my greatest fear — so I trained in five martial arts and stepped into a cage with a body doctors said might never fully work again. I was terrified of being seen (speaking in large crowds) — so in high school, I stood up and spoke in front of 500+ students. I was teaching myself that fear is a choice.

That same relentlessness led me to spend over 15 years studying psychology and Neuro-Linguistic Programming — not in a classroom, chasing a career, but out of necessity, to understand my own mind well enough to finally break free from it. I graduated high school a semester early and college a year early. Once I decide something is happening, it happens.

I'm not a coach who read about struggle in a textbook. I've been pronounced dead and gotten back up. I've lived in the wreckage, and I've lived in the rebuild. I know the mental loops that keep you stuck — the fear, the shame, the stories you replay at 2am — because I've fought every one of them myself, and won.

If you're ready to stop surviving and start rebuilding, I'm the coach who can take you there. Not with theory pulled from a book, but with a method forged in real life — tested on myself first, before I ever offered it to anyone else. The proof that change is possible isn't a case study. It's standing right in front of you.

Shame

"I feel like a fraud, even when people tell me I'm doing great."

Fear

"I keep thinking about what could go wrong, so I hesitate, overthink, or stay stuck."

Anger

"I hold onto what someone said or did way longer than I should"

Sadness

"I put on a good face, but some days it takes everything I have"
