**Welcome to the Parental Alienation Anonymous community.** **Please go to our website [pa-a.org](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/contact/) and sign and fill in the [contact page](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/contact/). You will receive an automated email immediately, please check your spam if you don’t see the email. It will contain all meeting times and links as well as a link to community resources, PDFs about our support groups and other valuable information.** **If you are new to our community you are welcome at any meeting. The topics vary and we suggest trying several meetings to find the ones that resonate with you. [We have 14 meetings a week all on zoom](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/meeting-schedule/). The community is incredibly robust and includes folks from all over the world.** **[PA-A is a support group](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/what-is-a-12-step-meeting/) for people struggling with varying degrees of alienation, estrangement and erasure from their children, grandchildren, parents and other members of their extended family. This also includes previously alienated children. Meetings usually have 20-40 people attending. You can choose to have your camera on or off and participate or just listen.** **PA-A is designed to support people in different phases of the alienation continuum, from those with absolutely no contact, to partial contact and to members who have reestablished regular contact. We are all struggling in unique ways. Our individual struggles all have common intersections, and it is this that brings us together to start the healing process.** **We are a [12-step](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/PA-A-Newcomer-Booklet.pdf) community. What this means is we are recovery based. We concentrate on working on solutions to our emotional, spiritual and physical challenges that arise out of alienation and all of our relationships. There are a lot of facebook groups and other resources out there. We differ considerably as we have a framework (Allanon) that has worked for over 70 years for people struggling with all sorts of interpersonal relationships. We have adapted this program for alienation.** **The meetings have structure, a leader and a secretary that maintain safety and consistency. We use a timer so no one person can dominate a meeting. We also share in a way that supports and uplifts our community. This is really useful if you feel stuck, hopeless and alone. It keeps us out of the spiral of alienation and gives us a way out.** **Some people think once their alienated child or family member is back in their lives that reconnection will be a relatively smooth process, but the reality is that recovery is a lifelong journey. As PA-A grows in numbers and strength, we will learn how to heal and thrive as a community. Some of the greatest support I receive is in my daily integration of rebuilding a relationship with one of my daughters.** **We as a community have had so many success stories of people reuniting and more importantly seeing people in early stages that have some contact with their loved ones deepen and heal before full on alienation sets in.** **Please send any questions to [parentalalienationanonymous@gmail.com](mailto:parentalalienationanonymous@gmail.com)** **Welcome and we hope to see you in the rooms!!**

A big mistake I made in my 20's when I first started my business was not learning and connecting with people who had more experience and wisdom than I did. Here's what I mean by that... Not finding the top referral partners and business mentors easily cost me 7 figures in revenue over the years. Likely quite a bit more. The reason I lost out on so much is I naively thought I knew my business best and could do it all on my own. Needless to say going solo was a huge mistake. And one that I want to keep you from making. So I want to invite you to the business CEO referral and mentorship group I wish I had when I was building and growing my business. Hopefully you will be able to take the people to task in this group, wring out every drop of knowledge, apply it to your business and watch as your results inflate your bank account like a giant hot air balloon. Which will then enable you to become the mentor and help out those entrepreneurs coming up. Thus the founder cycle continues, and we are all 10x better for it. Here's what you will get: Access to the top entrepreneurs in the South Bay. Here's how it works: This select group meets each week to reconnect with the sole purpose of supporting each others businesses - specifically to give warm referrals. We give leads that are from highly trusted sources. Here's what I want you to do next: Apply for the group on the link below. We will review your application and discuss it with the group to see if it is a good fit. The goal is to find entrepreneurs who are hungry to grow. You don't have to have a huge business, only the fierce burning desire to connect with South Bay businesses. We help you do this by offering tools to scale your business, implement new growth strategies, connect with subject matter experts and get your high level questions answered. Each week we meet to go over what we learned the previous week. You will meet the same people each week, get to know them and understand their business. This is an intimate setting for CEO's and business owners to get referrals, learn new information and get moral support. The CEO's journey can be lonely, this is a place to regroup and recharge. We are all supporting each other go grow our businesses, and the synergy created is greater than you could do alone. Crucial Business Growth Habits That You Will Learn: 1. Identify the 3 most important tasks that must get done. This is a Keystone Habit. You should plan on doing this daily and get it listed in the morning. 2. Review your goals. Another Keystone Habit that really does need to be reviewed daily. What action steps are required to keep you on point to reach the goals? Make sure it’s something obtainable and makes sense to work on now. 3. Do the hardest task first. Use Support Habits on a daily basis to get this done. If one of your goals is to keep your office clean and you have papers everywhere and you can’t find important documents, a support habit to this would be to schedule a time to re-organize your office. A support habit would be a big note to self: reminding yourself to get a box or bucket to stack your papers in before you go through them. 4. Chunk down a Project (Goal) into small manageable steps. Using more Support Habits on a daily basis at the time that works for you, provide yourself the steps from start to finish and only handle a small part of it. 5. Remove distractions before starting the work. Using Support Habits like shutting down all devices that will distract you are very helpful. Use a timer and stay focused while the timer is on. 6. Reach out to 1 person each day who you can help or who can help you. Nurture real relationships with time to grow your genuine referral base.

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together. Sign up now to reserve your spot! *Fun fact! This meetup was established in 2015 and had over 1,000 members. I had to shut down operations while attending law school, but we're back!!*

Join us for lunch and meet our very successful group. We are each others sales team...always looking for referrals for our members. If you are looking for new clients, let us help you out! Bring your business cards and brochures to share with us. We have a speaker each week so that we can learn about their business. Because we have only one member per business, we have many of the spots filled. However, we are specifically looking for an estate attorney, a handyman/electrician, and an event planner. We have referrals for you! All visitors are welcome. Any questions contact [pmarchio@farmersagent.com](mailto:pmarchio@farmersagent.com)
