Breaking Free From Survival Mode to Thrive in Leadership and Love
- Episode #310
What if true time freedom comes from healing your nervous system, not productivity hacks? David Titeu shares with Michi Lantz how he transformed his father’s suicide attempt into a mission helping high-performing men break free from survival mode and build lives rooted in love, not fear.

David Michael Titeu is a liberation coach, facilitator, podcast host, and founder of DMT Coaching based in Melbourne, Australia.
His path to becoming a coach was not a straight line. He built and lost a social impact startup, went through identity collapse and a genuine mental health crisis, and came out the other side with something most coaches don’t have.. a methodology forged from real experience, beyond theory.
Today, he works with high-achieving men to dissolve the beliefs and patterns driving burnout, self-doubt and the sense that something is still missing despite the external success. His approach combines depth psychology, somatic healing and nervous system work – going to the root of what is actually driving the behaviour, not just the surface symptoms.
David is a LinkedIn Top Voice in Mental Health, executive judge and mentor for the 7NEWS Young Achiever Awards and ambassador for the Australian and New Zealand Mental Health Association. He hosts the podcast Liberated, a show for high-achievers navigating self-doubt, burnout and identity.
For David, “making it” has been about building something true to him and helping others do the same.
