Hi James Gray, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Sir James Gray Robinson, Esq.
I am a third-generation trial attorney who specialized in family law and civil litigation for 27 years in my native North Carolina. Burned out, I quit in 2004 and has spent the next 20 years doing extensive research and innovative training to help others facing burnout and personal crises to heal. I have taught wellness, transformation, and mindfulness internationally to thousands of private clients, businesses, and associations. As a licensed attorney, I am focused on helping lawyers, professionals, entrepreneurs, employers, and parents facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, exhaustion, and burnout.
I am a highly respected speaker, writer, TV personality, mentor, consultant, mastermind, and spiritual leader/healer who is committed to healing the planet. I possess over 30 certifications and degrees in law, healing, and coaching, as well as hundreds of hours of post-certification training in the fields of neuroscience, neurobiology, and neuroplasticity, epigenetics, mind-body-spirit medicine, and brain/heart integration. Having experienced multiple near-death experiences has given me a deeper connection with divinity and spiritual energy.
I regularly trains professionals, high-level executives, and business people to hack their brains to turn stress into success.I am frequently invited to speak at ABA and state bar events about mental and emotional health. My work is regularly published in legal and personal growth magazines, including the ABA Journal, Attorneys-at-Work Magazine, and the Family Law Journal. I have authored over 13 books on personal growth and healing, including three targeting stressed professionals which are available on Amazon.
I have generously endowed numerous projects around the world to help children, indigenous natives, orphans and the sick, including clean water projects in the Manu Rain Forest, Orphanages, Schools and Medical Clinics/Ambulances in India, Buddhist monks in Nepal, and schools in Kenya, Ecuador, and Puerto Rico.
In addition to my extensive contributions, I have produced and starred in three documentaries that will be released in 2024, focusing on healing, mental and emotional health. The first, “Beyond Physical Matter,” will be released in July, 2024. The trailer can be found at www.BeyondPhysicalMatter.com. The second, “Beyond the Mastermind Secret”, is scheduled for release in March, 2024. The trailer can be found at https://BeyondMastermindSecrets.com/. The third, “Beyond Physical Life” is scheduled for release in the fall of 2024.

Additionally, I won the prestigious International Impact Book Award for my new book “Thriving in the Legal Arena: The Ultimate Lawyer’s Guide for Transforming Stress into Success”.
