May 14 - Parlay House East Bay | More Than a Medal: Finding Purpose After the Podium
6:00 - 8:00PM PT
Alamo, East Bay
From Olympic Gold medalist to author, “Dancing with the Stars” champion, philanthropist & mom, Kristi Yamaguchi is always spinning to perfection. But how has the East Bay native managed to reinvent herself with so much success? What is the secret to her “golden touch” and has she ever landed on her “axel” and faced failure? Kristi opens up on her journey and her resilience, on and off the ice.
Kristi will share her transformation from world-class figure skater to founder of Always Dream, a nonprofit dedicated to closing the opportunity gap for children in low-income communities through literacy and family engagement. Kristi knows what it takes to continuously reinvent yourself, stay grounded after the spotlight fades, and channel your platform toward something greater.
Here’s what to expect:
- A powerful conversation on the Olympic mindset — and how it evolves off the ice
- Insights into Kristi’s post-competition life, motherhood, and finding new purpose
- A deep dive into the mission and impact of Always Dream
Whether you grew up watching her glide across the world stage, or you’re meeting her story for the first time, you’ll leave this evening uplifted, motivated — and reminded that the next chapter can be your most meaningful yet.
