YWCA Northeast Indiana invites women to come together for Coffee & Conversations! These quarterly events provide a welcoming space for women to connect, learn, and empower one another by sharing experiences and insights.
Coffee & Conversations provides an opportunity for women to learn from each other through:
Shared experiences
Women can relate to similar challenges and obstacles faced by other women, fostering understanding and empathy.
Mentorship and guidance
Experienced women can provide valuable advice and support to those navigating career paths or personal situations.
Building confidence
Sharing successes and overcoming insecurities within a female network can boost self-esteem and confidence.
Unique perspectives
Women often bring different viewpoints and approaches to problem-solving, enriching the learning process.
Our 2026 Coffee & Conversations theme is “Chapter by Chapter: Wellness & Wisdom for Life Stages” Join us as we discuss important health issues for women.
The topic of our first conversation is The Menopause Chapter and will take place on March 12th from 8-9:30am at YWCA Northeast Indiana, 1313 W Washington Center Rd.
The Menopause Chapter
This essential conversation is dedicated to understanding and embracing every stage of the menopause journey, from perimenopause through post menopause. Moving beyond outdated narratives, learn to navigate this significant life stage with wisdom and confidence, transforming it from a challenge into an opportunity for renewed wellness. This chapter is about gaining clarity and rewriting the script.
