My Personal Journey to Here and Now

My name is Jay Deutsch. I am a solo father of two and a self-love and mindset coach. As a child of divorce, I suffered from abandonment issues and rejection issues all my life.

After the lengthy and painful divorce of my parents I bounced back and forth from living with my mother and my father & stepmom. It was rough. I went away to college hoping to change my life and get away from the drama.

I attended Northeastern University where I studied Visual Media Design with the hopes of becoming a graphic designer. It was there where I met my children’s mother Larissa. It was love at first sight. We were inseparable. We were together for 26 years and had 2 amazing kids.

Larissa suffered from depression and other un-diagnosed mental health issues most of her life. It was rough living with someone who suffered mental health issues. I did not know exactly what that meant until she lost the battle with her mind and ended her life in 2015 leaving me with our 3- and 13-year-old children.

I struggled on as a solo parent, I smiled on the outside but was dead on the inside. I didn’t date, I drank a lot, I smoked a lot of weed, and I kept on going, for my kids. I got them the help they needed but didn’t believe I was capable of being helped, I was helpless and hopeless.

After four and a half years of living with the guilt and grief, hating myself and my life, everything changed. I met someone. It was another instant attraction and I thought she was the one. I believed I would be happy again and live the life I deserved.

We quickly got engaged and planned our life together. But sadly, it only lasted three months. This was about the same time that COVID hit, and I lost my job. It sent me in another downward spiral. They call it “dark night of the soul”.

I went through a transformation. I began reading self-help books and books on spirituality. Everything I thought I was changed. I was finally able to let go of the past and move to the here and now.

I was awakened and began my journey back to loving myself and my life. By learning to change my mindset and be more positive, my life was transformed. I learned to accept what is and to be mindful and present. Once this shift in mindset took place, I was able to have a completely different outlook on life in general.

I discovered that my calling in life is to help others, so I began my training to become a coach. I became certified in coaching and in NLP (Neuro Linguistics Programming). I also did began research into neuroscience and biology to learn how and why thoughts happen and how they affect the mind and body.

As a self-love & mindset coach I help those that have lost someone to get though their grief by understanding why they feel the way they do and how to once again find happiness.
