đź’ˇ About Lafaya Mitchell
Lafaya is the founder of Peace of Mind Therapeutic Solutions and the author of The Lafaya Way parenting book series. She also co-authored the #1 international bestseller Speechless: Giving the Voiceless a Voice, where her chapter “Poked Speechless” shares a personal and compelling story. Her other international bestseller, Poker: A Woman’s Game – The Poker Therapist's Mental Game Strategies for Winning, blends her clinical insights with the strategic mindset of poker.🎧 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
  • Why Lafaya wrote Poker: A Woman’s Game and her chapter “Poked Speechless”
  • How being a high-functioning “Aspie” (and parenting one) has influenced her life and work
  • The surprising way poker became part of her personal and professional life—including how she met her husband at the poker table!
  • Her empowering “Parents Empowering Parents” program
  • Why advocacy, dignity, and giving a voice to the unheard are at the heart of everything she does
"Lafaya Mitchell explains that she isn't a professional poker player, but rather a therapist who happens to play professional poker."
