About me
You’re Not Broken. You’re Just Disconnected.
Have you ever caught your reflection and felt like you were looking at someone you used to know?
Not because anything is visibly wrong. Your life probably looks fine from the outside — maybe even good. But somewhere underneath it, something’s gone quiet. Flat. Like the signal dropped out a while ago and nobody told you.
If that’s familiar, you’re in the right place.
WHO I AM
My name is Jay Gross. Since 2015, I’ve worked as a mindset and transformation coach, helping high-functioning people — the ones who look like they have it together because they do have it together — reconnect with the parts of themselves that got quietly buried under years of responsibility, performance, and holding it all up.
I’m NLP certified and Neuro Trauma Therapy (NTT) certified, and in 2025 I was named Mindset Coach of the Year. Before this work, I built and ran my own businesses and worked as a personal trainer — different arenas, same core skill: helping people actually follow through on what they say they want.
But the credentials aren’t really why people work with me. The reason is that I’ve lived on the other side of this, more than once.
WHY I DO THIS WORK
I’ve had two crashes that taught me this the hard way.
The first — I’d just moved to Hawaii to build a life with someone I thought was the one. It ended in a single text. The life I was building around her went with it.
The second came after I’d rebuilt. I was living in Thailand — a real life, this time. A business. A relationship that mattered. A version of myself that finally felt alive. And it all came apart again, all at once.
I ended up back in Hawaii — the same place I’d run to the first time. Sitting on that beach, everyone around me having the time of their lives, and I felt nothing. Not sad. Not relieved. Just empty, like the signal was gone.
That was the moment I understood something I couldn’t have understood before: it wasn’t the relationship. It wasn’t the business. It wasn’t the location. The emptiness was coming from somewhere else — a pattern that had been running for years, one no external change was ever going to touch.
Nobody had ever taught me how to work on that. So I spent years learning how, and built Life Next Level around what I found.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This work tends to find people who:
- Look like they have everything figured out, and feel almost nothing underneath it
- Have done the reading, the therapy, the self-help — and still feel stuck in the same place
- Are tired of chasing the next fix — the job, the routine, the relationship — hoping this time it sticks
- Know something needs to change, but can’t point to the one thing actually causing it
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not broken, and you’re not behind. You’re running a pattern that nothing you’ve tried so far was ever built to touch.
WHAT WORKING TOGETHER LOOKS LIKE
I’m not interested in surface-level motivation, and I won’t hand you a worksheet and call it done. My work sits at the identity level — finding the actual pattern underneath the way you think, feel, and operate, and changing what’s running it, not just how you talk about it.
That means real accountability, real honesty, and a partnership where I’m as invested in your follow-through as you are. Comfortable isn’t always the goal. Change is.
