The conversations about work that we can’t always have at work.
Poppy Candid is a series of smart, unfiltered, in-person (Seattle area) gatherings for women who want more real talk around their careers and their lives. We bring together true stories, brilliant speakers who’ve been where you are, learning opportunities to spark clarity, and door-opening conversations with people you’ll want to get a drink with later.
You know that thing weighing heavy on your mind?
You’re not the only one thinking about it.
But you might be the one who finally says it aloud.
See you at Poppy Candid.

AUGUST 26: The Permission Session
The Permission Session
Self-Advocacy, Boundaries & Bringing All of You to Your Work
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, and clarity 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.
Who will you meet at Poppy Candid?
Women just like you.
Who are thoughtful, ambitious and in the rich, complex, middle part of their careers - seeking growth, transformation or just a good conversation to shake things up.
They’re sharp. Curious. Craving something real that isn’t on the screen in front of them.
Often in their heads. Perhaps prone to over-thinking and over-scrolling. Craving space to make the tangible impact they know they can but haven’t had the time or energy to do so.
At Poppy Candid, you’ll find a community of women who are all about truth-telling, resource-sharing, and making connections that open doors.
