Hello - I'm David Lea. Coach, Speaker, Consultant, Visionary
Ā
Just like you I wanted answers to why I continued to repeat toxic patterns in my relationships, my career, in my parenting, and in my life. I wanted to understand how to become the very best man I could become. The best version of David. I knew there was more for me. I simply didn't know how to find the "more"...
Sound familiar?

Book A Call With DavidThink you've got the toughest relationship problems?Ā I was once where you are right now. I've got you.
In May of 2018, I booked a flight to a leadership retreat in San Francisco in hopes to finally release me of my bonds of repeated negative relationship patterns. I chose to spend three days with 14 other strangers. All of whom had made a similar decision to inject a newness into their life. For the first time, I chose a pathway that was for ME. A road to personal development. A retreat involving elements of somatic healing, masculine and feminine energy, trauma-awareness, and connective community.Ā
I returned home from San Francisco not a changed man, but an aware man. A man who was no longer content with the status quo. A man who although couldn't see the precise path forward, was committed to his inner-healing work. A decision that would alter my life forever more.
I embarked on a more awakened perspective to everything around me. I began investing my time, energy and money in mentors, coaches, and other healing professionals to help me recognize, honor, and heal the blockages keeping me from the life I wanted.Ā
In early 2019, I was challenged by my coach to begin fulfilling my dreams of a life coach. At the time, I was living very comfortably, generating aĀ secure 6-figure income, extraordinary compensatory benefits, work-from-home for an international multi-billion dollar company. And yet I was challenged to step forward into uncertainty, enter the life coaching space and invite men and women to invest in my wisdom, insight, and motivation.Ā
Over the next 18 months, I welcomed a small assortment of 1:1 coaching clients who sought me out to help them heal and grow. As the calendar turned from 2019 to 2020, I knew the inevitable was approaching. I was feeling more compelled to formally transition away from my corporate sales career and ignite my future into the present.
Then - the world shut down.
Yet I remained committed to the challenge set before me as my commitment to my day-job severely waned. On June 2nd, 2020, I made the leap. I formally launched Daring Deeply LLC. My life coaching practice. In the midst of a global pandemic, I stood up in the face of uncertainty and I chose me. I chose my purpose that would prove to be the culmination of a life's work and experience.
I am the visionary behind Daring Deeply.
After several decades navigating my own relationship struggles, the ups and downs of parenting, and traversing two āfailedā marriages, I took responsibility for the role I was playing in my environments and chose to dive headfirst into the world of personal development where my calling, inner healing, and lifeās purpose would hit me square between the eyes.
Ā
I am passionate about challenging conventional social and cultural narratives that often unknowingly stifle individuals from experiencing transformative growth, emotional & physical healing, and meaningful living, and Iām committed to blazing trails for myself and others to experience new, sustainable ways to enjoy life, love, and global generational change.
Ā
I am a trauma-informed polarity coach, speaker, and teacher. Together with my wife, Paige, we help men, women, and couples identify, validate, and begin to heal their masculine and feminine energetic wounding (ie: unprocessed childhood trauma) to release them to the relationship of their dreams.Ā
Ā
I have been and continue to be educated, trained, coached, influenced, and mentored by the worldās foremost innovative minds in the fields of: mental and emotional health, personal development, business, and polarity: Mastin Kipp, Stephen Porges, Peter Levine, Gabor Mate, Richard Schwartz, Dan Sullivan, Dr. Aimie Apigian, Besel Van der Kolk, Jordan Peterson, Erwin McManus, Justin Janowski, Strategic Coach INC, the Peterson Academy, and the NICABM (National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine).
To help clients fully integrate our proprietary trauma-informed-polarity modality, I leverage a combination of primary and secondary healing and growth modalities that include but are not limited to: parts work, polyvagal theory, emotion-focused directives, psychodynamics, somatics, and internal and external language redirecting. Our work continues to grasp the attention of licensed psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, therapists, and PhD professionals who refer their clients and patients to us as well as they themselves who select us to help support their own personal healing and growth needs.
Ā
In addition to creating curriculum for and facilitating marital enhancement workshops and leading over 30 on-site retreats, I have logged over 3,500 hours of 1:1 coaching sessions over the course of my coaching career directly helping men and women across the planet, and impacting and influencing hundreds of thousands more through my social media presence, speaking engagements, and podcast appearances. I specialize in working with individuals who have a history of: marital infidelity, sexual trauma, religion-based spiritual trauma, abandonment wounds, and more. Client confidentiality and privacy is of my utmost priority.
Ā Ā
I dedicate my lifeās work to Patricia Jean Bridges-Lea, my beloved mother, who lost her life just two weeks after my birth.

"David is incredibly well-versed in trauma-informed healing and has gone on his own healing journey, which allows him to relate to what we're going through."
Before working with David to begin healing my trauma, I was living a very reactive life. Due to known and unknown trauma from childhood (and even adulthood), I spent most of my time pretending like everything was great and then exploding in rage at the slightest provocation. This was especially concerning in my roles as wife and mother.
As David and I began working together, I started to recognize the root cause of my unhealthy thoughts and behavior. His guidance, compassion, and leadership has helped me uncover forgotten memories and begin to heal from these traumatic incidents so that I can begin to show up as a grounded, healthy woman in all aspects of my life.
It's truly changed my life. I no longer feel helpless. Before I began this work, I had started to feel like I was "crazy", like I was completely at the mercy of my turbulent emotions, and I wondered if I'd ever overcome that.
If you're like me, you've probably had the thought -- "Do I need to go to therapy? I really feel like something is off and I need professional help to uncover it and change it." This was my state of mind about a month before I began working with David. David is incredibly well-versed in trauma-informed healing and has gone on his own healing journey, which allows him to relate to what we're going through.
His level of professionalism is impressive and unwavering. If you're ready to stop living under the thumb of your turbulent emotions and start living as the strong, calm, grounded person you're meant to be, I highly recommend working with David Lea.

" Because I feel safe and cared for and never judged . . . This is, hands down, the best investment I have made in myself."
David came into my life at a time of great change and uncertainty for me. My 22-year marriage had ended. I moved cross country back to my home town, changing jobs, losing friendships, and floundering.
There were so many questions: Who am I? What do I want from my life? How do I make it happen? The answer was David.
He has an amazing ear for the language used which helps him help you to drill down to find the root of the feelings. Then the real work begins – journaling, working on boundaries, learning how to have elevated conversations, all these things I have learned from David. And I am still learning, and growing, and enjoying the process.
I look forward to every session, even the ones that I know will be difficult or emotional. Because I feel safe and cared for and never judged. He listens intently. We laugh and cry together. And I always feel supported.
This is, hands down, the best investment I have made in myself.

"David provides a safe space to explore who you really are and where you want to go."
I started working with David two years ago, after I had listened to him in a podcast. The 1-on-1 coaching sessions with him have been the best investment into my personal growth I've ever made.
We are covering all areas of my life from love relationship to parenting, from business to healing past wounds from my childhood.
David provides a safe space to explore who you really are and where you want to go. You learn how to ask yourself the right questions, some of which can be quite uncomfortable - and this is where healing and growth happens.
The work we have been doing together on Internal Family Systems and masculine/feminine polarity have deeply impacted me, and have also provided valuable new perspectives for my own coaching practice with my clients.
Over the course of our coaching relationship, I rediscovered who I really am and what I want, learnt to define and establish boundaries and reconnected with my feminine energy.

"David teaches us men what men need to be taught.
I've never done anything like this. I didn't know what to expect. Turns out, it far surpassed any expectations.
I have been working with David and I've changed so much about myself for the better.
David teaches us men what men need to be taught.
I was myself for the first time and was shown how to love myself, listen to my body, and not be so hard on my inner self.
Some topics are learning how to control myself when triggers arise.
Men, the most beautiful gift you can give your woman is healing yourself and doing this work. I promise you that you will not regret a single moment
