For our first event of 2021, let’s start off with a bang: strengthening our foundation of self-love.

But we’re not talking about self-love in a traditional way. Our speaker, Board Certified Psychologist, Author, Professor, and TEDx alum, Dr. Kristina Hallett is coming to talk to us about why she begs to differ with the adage that you can’t love others until you love yourself.

An internationally recognized expert in productivity, resilience, communication, self-care, harnessing the positive power of stress, mentoring and living your best life, Dr. Hallett will share her most powerful tools with us to start the year off as authentically and aligned as possible.

Tune in as we reimagine self-love. And know that we’re already rooting for you.

Communication is tough enough on a good day. Add in the stress of a global pandemic and the relationship strains that come with quarantining for weeks on end and it can feel nearly impossible to avoid conflict.

Tune into this Parlay From Away conversation with Wendy Behary – a nationally recognized and esteemed psychotherapist, to learn how to navigate challenging conversations with the people you are close to. This interactive talk with cover the full spectrum of challenging conversations including:

• Speaking with someone who is arrogant, rude, entitled, or narcissistic
• What to say to someone grieving / in deep pain or sorrow
• How to engage with someone being quiet or avoidant

When uncertainty and fear fill us up, it’s only natural to put up our walls and protect what we feel we can still control. With all the unfamiliar transitions we’re going through right now, it’s more important than ever to keep opening up and working on more empathetic and effective communication with others. Authentic connection is the antidote to fear.

Most of us feel trapped by the restrictions that are keeping us tight in our homes. Many of us feel afraid of the unfamiliar new world and now though the dangers of this virus still remain, businesses are slowly starting to reopen in many cities and we’re not quite sure what to expect.

We hope you will join this week’s Parlay from Away conversation so we can do a double-take on closed communities.

To get the inside scoop on both the allure and the shocking truths of cult life, we are welcoming husband and wife team of Terri Hinton and Will Rogers. They will tell the harrowing story of how they escaped from the cult that held them after 15+ years inside, and talk about the challenges of reentering a completely unfamiliar society: ours.

Tune into this unbelievable conversation.

“Speak your truth” – “Have your voice.”

We hear these bits of advice all the time. But what on earth does it mean exactly, and how do we do it, both effectively and authentically?

Tune in to hear voice and presence expert, Hillary Wicht, as she explores the deeper psychology and transformational power of what it means to find your voice and have more of your authentic self in the world.

With online connections & Zoom calls replacing office meetings and coffee dates, this is the perfect time to dive into what makes us stand out and learn how to adapt our unique strengths to an all-digital space.

Join this conversation to:

• Uncover what confidence truly is and how to get it
• Explore best practices that help you to ground and own your value
• Create an action plan so you can step into your unique brilliance and voice your personal power

Because if you cannot hear your voice, you cannot have your voice. And we could all do with feeling heard more genuinely and more often.

Women don’t always support each other. There, we said it. While Parlay House is all about connecting authentically and uplifting each other, we know that outside of our safe space, there are very real accounts of female rivalry and competition causing very real pain.

The truth is – we’ve all encountered ‘mean girls’ at one point or another. Our Founder & Chief Instigator even dedicated an edition of The Parlay Effect Newsletter to this exact topic after receiving a wave of requests around what to do when we feel like another woman is trying to tear us down.

Tune in with us and Dr. Amber Tichenor, PhD, expert on Female Rivalry, who will teach us:

• What female rivalry looks like & why it happens
• How to overcome it in our personal & professional lives
• To effectively recognize & regulate our own cattiness
• How to work together to support other women

As Anne writes in the newsletter above: “The fabulous truth in this day and age is that the size of our shared pie is growing, and more for me doesn’t mean less for you. And vice versa. The more we lift each other to new achievements, opportunities, and experiences, the greater the pie grows. Another woman’s gain is no longer our loss. Another woman’s gain is actually a gain for us all.”

You’ve probably learned that it’s the language we tell ourselves on the inside that dictates the output we experience on the outside, but did you know that you have the power to rewrite the scripts your subconscious mind turns into negative self-talk?

Enter Hypnosis: the natural (though seemingly magical) therapy that allows us to take control of our inner thoughts and beliefs to channel our subconscious power towards achieving our goals instead of allowing it to hold us back.

Our speaker – Richard Barker: The Incredible Hypnotist – has found success treating patients all over the world for a wide array of personal struggles including trauma, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, stunted career growth, weight loss, low self-esteem, smoking, low sex-drive, and more.

Tune in to hear from this two-time Parlay House speaker alum, who will reveal:

• What hypnosis is and why it’s so misunderstood
• How to outcast our negative belief systems
• How hypnotic visualization can help us reach incredible goals
• How to build & practice hypnotic success habits

We welcome you, your friends and loved ones to join this mesmerizing conversation. With the global climate being what it is, the men in your life are welcome too – as we could all stand to explore new ways to stay positive, focused, and feeling in control of our ability to prosper.

Is college still a path to the American Dream? While there are 1.2 million low-income or first-generation college graduates each year, only one in four will receive a strong first job.

We hope you will tune in as we take a walk with two women of color who made it, hearing about their journeys and shedding light on their paths. They’ll be joined by Aimée Eubanks Davis, founder of Braven, an exceptional organization that empowers promising underrepresented young people to launch successfully into the modern economy. Both of our panelists are Braven Fellows.
