Living Well With Chronic Illness

Living with a chronic illness can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be something you face alone. Over the past few months, a small group of C2C members who share this experience has been coming together every other Monday from 1:30–2:30 pm (Eastern).  This group is a safe, supportive space where we:

• Acknowledge the ups and downs of living with chronic illness
• Share stories and encourage one another
• Focus on moments of positivity and what brings us strength
• Explore simple ways to nurture our well-being

Each session is filled with understanding, compassion, and encouragement from women who truly get it. Whether you’d like to share or simply listen, you are welcome.

WHEN: Every Other Monday of the Month

Time: 1:30pm EST

Welcome to "The After Party"

A Special Interest Group (SIG) for Women Reimagining What’s Next

Retirement isn’t the end—it’s a reinvention. But let’s be honest: navigating this next chapter can feel exciting and disorienting.

Whether you're still considering your timeline or freshly retired (within the past two years), you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

This is SIG is for women who are curious, candid, and craving connection. We’re here to support each other through the questions, the changes, and the opportunities that come with leaving full-time careers and redefining what a fulfilling life looks like now.

You’ll find:

• Honest conversations (with zero judgment)
• Resources and insights on purpose, identity, lifestyle, and wellness
• A space to explore what matters most—with women who get it

You’ve spent a lifetime leading, managing, caring, and achieving. Now it’s time to support yourself—and each other—as you create your next chapter.

WHEN: Third Tuesday of the Month
Time:  7:00 - 8:00pm EST

The Next Chapter is a laid-back group of smart, curious C2C members who love to read, share and have fun (and maybe have some refreshments while we're at it).  Just three “rules:” 

• If you haven’t finished the book, come anyway. (Just be prepared for spoilers). 
• If you haven’t read the book, come anyway! You might find yourself intrigued enough to read it later. 
• Have a schedule conflict and can’t come?  We’ll miss you and hope to see you next month. 

When: Second Thursday Every Other Month

Time : 7:30 – 9:00 PM EST

The monthly Sandbox Café is a welcoming and thought-provoking informal hangout spot.

When you show up, expect to join a smaller group in lightly guided-conversations. And also experience the energy of the larger group. Together we’ll form questions, inquiries, share experiences, perspectives and knowledge, and get to know one another.

“When minds meet, they don’t just exchange facts: they transform them, reshape them, draw different implications from them, engage in new trains of thought. Conversation doesn’t just reshuffle the cards: it creates new cards.” (Theodore Zeldin)

All you have to do is come as you are and stay as long as you want. We’re saving you a seat.

When:  Fourth Wednesday of the Month

Time: 7:00 - 8:00pm EST

"T" and Table Topics

Please grab your "T", whether it's tea, tonic or tequila and join us for an hour to talk, laugh and share.  We will use Table Topic cards to engage in fun conversations and get to know one another better.  You are invited to join these quarterly events.  The events alternate between 4pm ET and 7pm ET.
