This South Park Fireside Chat Might Be the Most Honest Conversation You Have All Month

Parlay House San Diego is hosting an intimate evening in South Park built around a question a lot of high-achieving women don’t often say out loud: what if perfectionism is actually getting in the way?

Unmasking Perfectionism: From Proving Ourselves to Being Ourselves is a fireside chat with transformational coach and bestselling author Hema Crockett. Drawing from her own journey from corporate executive to conscious leader, she brings a grounded, personal perspective to the work of letting go of the pressure to perform.

Hema Crockett for Parley House Unmasking Perfectionism

More Than a Motivational Talk

This isn’t a motivational talk or a productivity seminar. The conversation goes somewhere more honest – exploring how perfectionism functions as a trauma response, the exhaustion of constantly feeling like you need to prove yourself, and the isolation of never feeling like enough.

The focus isn’t on lowering your standards or letting go of your ambitions. It’s about what opens up when you stop performing and start embracing your full self, flaws and risks included.

Expect real talk, shared stories, and the kind of dialogue that reminds you you’re not alone in this.

A Little More About Hema

Hema Crockett is a trauma-informed transformational coach, bestselling author, and host of the Disrupting Default podcast.

After nearly two decades as a corporate HR executive, she co-founded Gig Talent and later founded The Recalibrate Practice, where she works with high-achieving women to help them shed old conditioning and build lives that feel genuinely aligned.

See you there!

If you’ve ever felt the weight of high expectations – your own or anyone else’s – this is the kind of evening that makes that weight feel a little lighter.
