Guest Bio:
David Frank Gomes listens to people talk about their lives until the truth accidentally falls out. Then he names what they’ve been circling and asks the question they’ve been avoiding. Basically, he’s an emotional cartographer and a mindfulness ninja — part translator, part campfire, part mirror. Sometimes, people call him a life coach.

He’s currently writing a book (hoping to finish it by Christmas, though he’s not sharing more details just yet) and has recently joined Substack, where he’s exploring new ideas and initiatives in healthcare.

Beyond his work with people, David turned his front lawn into a thriving meadow — a living metaphor for his philosophy of mindfulness, patience, and natural growth. He now proudly calls himself an apprentice meadow maker. 🌿
