⭐ Join us on October 28 for Poppy Candid: The Hard Stuff - When Life Collides with Work⭐

The conversations about work that we can’t always have at work.

Poppy Candid is a bimonthly event series in the Seattle area for the conversations about work that you can’t always have at work. It’s part networking, part unfiltered smart conversation, part connection with seriously impressive humans.

The Permission Session

August 26, 2025

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, with so much happening around the world as well as in our own backyards, 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. 

Staying Grounded in a Shifting Career Landscape

June 24, 2025

The world of work is unpredictable right now. Layoffs. Restructures. Resumes getting dusted off just in case. Whether you’re deep in uncertainty or feeling the ripple effects, one thing is clear: we’re all navigating something. Join us on June 24 to talk about what’s really happening in today’s job landscape (and what it means for you); how to make career moves and decisions with intention; ways to stay grounded and calm when everything feels chaotic; and why your nervous system matters just as much as your resume. 

Who will you meet at Poppy Candid?

Women and allies who are 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 and allies who are all about truth-telling, resource-sharing, and making connections that open doors.
