The Poker Player's Guide to Parenting

Leaha Hammer is a mental health therapist and first-time author. A self-proclaimed jack of all trades but master of none, she is an advocate, volunteer coach, and small business owner who has her “hands” in many areas. Leaha is a native of rural Nebraska and draws parenting influences from her experience growing up in a farming community, instilling core values of contribution, humility, and work ethic. She was trained and practiced in the greater Seattle area, where she learned the values of creativity, open-mindedness, and the application of therapeutic concepts. As a wife and mother of three, Leaha finds herself reading and utilizing parenting content not only in her work but also in her personal life, as she and her husband are in the throes of raising their own children. Competitive by nature but soft at heart, Leaha’s parenting journey and stories of both wins and losses will validate the experiences of many.
