Overcoming Analysis Paralysis
Learn the flow and etiquette of the game so deeply that you move from 'I hope I don't mess up' to 'I know exactly where I am.' Walk into any game feeling like you belong there.
Emotional Regulation & Mindfulness
Master the 'Internal Checklist.' Donna will teach you how to take a breath and evaluate the situation before you commit, replacing impulse with intent. You are in control of your own clock.
Decision Confidence
Every chip you move will have a reason behind it. You will eliminate the 'hope' and 'guesswork,' and learn how to stand by your choices with conviction — at the table and in your life.
Most people see poker as a high-stakes gamble. I see it as a therapeutic practice.
It is one of the few places where you can safely practice staying calm in chaos, trusting your gut, and making big decisions with a clear head.
This series exists to remove the pressure by slowing the game down and creating a safe space where simple steps lead to real understanding.
This is the first time I am offering this series LIVE. I’m looking for an inaugural cohort to join me in proving that poker isn't just about the cards — it's about the person holding them.
Outcome: You’ll leave feeling comfortable, capable, and ready to play — at home, online, or in a real room — without fear or confusion.

This makes the class a perfect gift for someone who has always wanted to learn poker... or for yourself... if you needed a safe, friendly place to begin, or even refresh your game.
I discovered poker at 47, during one of the most intense chapters of my life. I was successful in business and entirely out of my depth at the card table.
The first time I walked into a card room, I felt instantly intimidated — surprisingly small (even at 6’5”).
I know exactly what it feels like to be new in a space that doesn’t feel welcoming. Over time, I learned how to change the experience.
Over the years, I’ve taught beginners by breaking the game down into simple, intentional steps that make sense as you go.
This series is the environment I wish I’d had.
“Rather than go on tilt when I screw up, I can detach from being reactive and get back to playing my best poker game.

“The first time I sat down at a poker table using what Donna taught me, seasoned players saw me as a badass."
