1-on-1 coaching for mental relief and immediate problem solving, customized for you as you speak.
Book My BreakthroughYou have a list of habits you want to start. But you haven't done any of them, and it's not getting easier.
Somehow the days end without getting the obvious stuff done.
Give yourself a Breakthrough Hour. Clients have called it "the most valuable hour" they've experienced in the past year. 60 minutes to turn off the inner critic, get lovingly honest with yourself, and actually do something.
Not plan to do it. Do it.
As you share what's going on, I capture the key details on your struggles and goals, and clarify the deeper needs we must meet in the session.
Choose 1 of 5 breakthrough challenges, created for you. Do one with me in real time, and leave with the momentum of a concrete achievement.
Drop into a custom meditation, crafted to reduce tension around your specific issues. Relax into new insights. Keep the recording.
You click the Zoom link. We connect. Within a few minutes, everything that's been swirling in your head is suddenly organized, named, and sitting right in front of you.
Then you immediately do something real with that clarity. Choose from 5 breakthrough challenges, created on the spot for you. Yes, on the spot.
You complete 1 of the challenges in the session, with your coach supporting every step.
Then you close your eyes. The meditation begins. A calm, warm voice guides you on a meditation, custom crafted on the spot to your specific situation.
You enter a place of peace most people never find on a workday.
You open your eyes with something you haven't felt in a while.
Show up stuck. Leave with something real already achieved, and a clear mind for what's next.
One session stands alone. More are available depending on the issues you're going through.

Book My Breakthrough"Working with Dave was one of the best coaching experiences I've ever had."
"Dave is insightful, perceptive and highly engaging. I came out of our session with great insight and a solid action plan that was tailored to my needs."
"Thanks to his support, I've become more confident in my personal value and brand. Dave's insight and impact are invaluable for any walk of life."
"Dave has been a priceless asset to me and I would highly recommend him and his services to anyone considering to take the leap. Working with Dave is a game changer in more ways than I could have imagined."
"Dave's greatest impact was on my job performance and the effects that my work had on my overall mental health. If you are a perfectionist, if you procrastinate, if you have impostor syndrome — Dave is the guy for you."
"Working with Dave was phenomenal. He helped me channel my skills, experience, and best judgement into a workable and realistic plan for salary growth."
"Working with Dave was one of the best things I did for my career journey. We connected at the end of a job interview process after I received an offer. Despite receiving the high end of the listed range Dave helped to get more. He remained "on call" for a few days as the conversation carried over and was great with texts and phone calls. His approach to workshopping different solutions was super collaborative; he always made sure to ask for my thoughts and integrate my suggestions."
"Dave provided exceptional service during my negotiation process. He demonstrated a profound understanding of negotiation strategies and effectively communicated a few options. I highly recommend Dave's services to anyone seeking expert guidance on favorable negotiations."
"Dave helped me gain clarity in my hang-up around charging for my services. He has you stop and breathe to encourage the practice of the pause, so you can speak from a place of groundedness."
Dave Wolovsky — Certified Applied Positive Psychology Coach
Me in 5 words: Nerd With Lots of Injuries.
For years, my weak points kept pulling me out of life — physically, mentally, emotionally. I was smart enough to know I needed to change something, but also smart enough to see every reason it wouldn't work.
What finally helped wasn't more discipline. It was learning to see myself clearly — without judgment — then taking one small but impactful action. And then doing it again.
I've spent years building the tools to create that experience for other people, faster than it took me. The Breakthrough Hour is the best version of that work I've ever built.
I majored in math at Wesleyan University, then spent two years in Thailand teaching English before coming home to teach math, meditation, and brain exercises to senior citizens.
I started my Positive Psychology Coaching practice in 2014 while still in the classroom. In 2018, I graduated from Columbia University with an M.S. in Neuroscience & Education and moved into full-time coaching — both career coaching (job interviews) and life coaching (habits). Along the way I picked up additional training as a yoga teacher, an Imago couples therapy coach, and a Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy coach.
Since 2023, I've been focused on one question: how much momentum and transformation can a single coaching hour actually produce? The Breakthrough Hour is my answer — built around my greatest strengths, and enhanced by AI to do things like write a personalized meditation script and generate 5 tailored action challenges on the spot, based on detailed notes I take throughout our session.
One-time session. No subscriptions. No pressure.
Book My BreakthroughOne session is complete on its own. A focused hour of significant inner and outer progress. Some clients come back for more when new challenges come up. There's no pressure at the end of the session. If continuing together feels right, that conversation is available.
I have created a proprietary app (Self Science) that uses AI to generate 5 personal breakthrough challenges and a custom meditation script for you. It is all based on my session notes. So yes, it happens instantly during the session.
You can do similar versions of everything done in the Breakthrough Hour session, using only AI. It's a smart computer, but at some point in the conversation, you will remember that it's not human.
Without a human to interpret and improvise around the AI, you're still working on your issues alone. In the Breakthrough Hour, the first part is purely human coaching. Clarifying your issues and needs. Uncovering your blind spots.
The 3rd part of the session is a custom meditation based on my notes. Self Science AI writes a script for me, which I improvise around as a professional meditation teacher. You could get AI to create your own meditation, but at some point in the experience, you will probably remember that it's not a human voice.
You should absolutely use AI for anything that helps you. If you don't care about having the support of a real human, then AI is a great and cheap alternative.
Dave majored in math at Wesleyan University. In 2010, went to Thailand for 2 years to teach English. Came back and taught math, meditation, and brain exercises to senior citizens. Started his Positive Psychology Coaching practice in 2014 while still teaching. In 2018, graduated from Columbia University with an M.S. in Neuroscience & Education, and started coaching full time — both career coaching (job interviews) and life coaching (habits).
He's also trained as a yoga teacher, Imago couples therapy coach, and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy coach. Since 2023, he's been focused 100% on solving the problem of building habits, and researching how much momentum a client can achieve in a single hour.
Therapy explores your deeper past to understand the present. It's extremely helpful, and I highly recommend it. My wife is a therapist.
The Breakthrough Hour falls under Positive Psychology Coaching. It is focused on using science to understand where you are right now and find what moves you forward quickly. It's not clinical, and you will not get a diagnosis. It's just one focused hour of immediate insight and action.
Most coaching gives you insights and homework. The Breakthrough Hour is different because you take action in the session, not after. You overcome a customized challenge with real time support from a professional coach, so you leave with something already done.
Deep insight plus precise action. That's the whole game of personal growth.
At the end of the session, if continuing together feels right, that conversation is available. There's no pressure and no pitch. Many choose to book more Breakthrough Hour sessions, but one is complete on its own.
You don't need any meditation experience. Dave guides you through every moment.
Most meditation involves listening to a generic, pre-recorded track. Maybe even an AI voice. The Breakthrough Hour meditation is deeply personalized to you, and delivered by a professional coach and meditation teacher. I've had clients say that they have never experienced meditation like this, and they were shocked by how fast it went.
Pick a convenient time for you.
The whole process takes 90 seconds.
