You don’t stop being human when you log on. You’re a leader, partner, parent, planner, dreamer — and yet the world so often expects you to be just your job title the moment you click “Join Meeting.” As we roll into the historically busy fall season, and with so many people currently navigating career shifts, it’s time for an honest conversation about what it means to protect your energy, renegotiate your role, and resist the myth that pushing through is always the answer. 

No matter your work status — job seeking, building something new, or happily employed — this conversation goes beyond the ever-elusive concept of “balance.” It’s about self-preservation, motivation, clarity and permission in a world that has very real expectations and opinions about who you’re supposed to be.

Building on our first Poppy Candid conversation, we’re really going to have the conversation ABOUT work that you can’t have AT work. Expect tangible insights, real-world scenarios, language you can use, and the kind of open dialogue and smart, supportive, awesome women who make Poppy Candid what it is.

Pull up a chair. We’re going there.
