Weekly Member Coffee Hour
Open to Empower Network Members
Weekly on Wednesdays, 12pm Central US
10am Pacific US, 1pm Eastern US
Our Virtual Coffee Hours are relaxed Zoom gatherings for people figuring out work, business, and career paths while living with chronic illness or disability.
Each week we bring a simple discussion question related to work, entrepreneurship, or navigating careers with fluctuating health.
Cameras are optional, energy levels can vary, and showing up exactly as you are is completely normal. It’s simply a space to connect with others who understand what it’s like to build a professional life around real-life health limits.

10am - 11am Central US (8am Pacific, 11am Eastern)
Start your week with focus and support!
Join us for a quiet, supportive co-working session designed to help you make progress on whatever matters most. We'll begin with a brief check-in where everyone shares what they're working on, followed by focused work time with cameras off. At the end, we'll come back together to celebrate what we accomplished.
