Join us for a welcoming and inclusive coffee meetup where women and non-binary folks in tech can connect, share experiences, and build community in a relaxed setting.
April Topic: Grief and Growth in Tech (with Special Guest: Carmen Galvan, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW)
Carmen Galvan has her Masters in social work and is a grief therapist and death doula. She has over 11 years of experience in both Frontline and private practice. She is also currently teaching at TMU in the disability studies department. Carmen's goal is to shed light on the different ways that grief impacts our everyday lives, to normalize the universal experience of loss.
Grief is a universal experience, yet it's rarely talked about—especially in fast-paced industries like tech.
In this session, we’ll explore how grief, whether personal or professional, shapes our growth, resilience, and career journeys. With insights from Carmen, we’ll discuss:
✅ Recognizing the many forms of grief in everyday life and work
✅ Navigating loss while maintaining your wellbeing and career momentum
✅ Building compassionate habits to support yourself and others
✅ How embracing grief can foster personal growth, resilience, and deeper connections in techThis will be a thoughtful, supportive conversation—whether you're processing your own experiences or want to better understand how to support others.
Whether you're an industry veteran or just getting started, everyone is welcome!
