SUMMARY:Werk It Out - Pride Edition
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes you just need the right space\, the right energy\, and the right people to finally get it done.\n\nJoin Plexus for Werk It Out\, a post-work coworking experience designed for productivity\, connection\, and a little inspiration along the way. Whether you have emails piling up\, a project you have been putting off\, or need dedicated time to focus and reset\, this is your moment to lock in.\n\nWe will kick things off at 5:30 PM with a quick\, engaging mini talk from local experts covering topics like mindfulness\, productivity\, self-care\, and even a little stand-up comedy to get you in the right headspace. Then\, settle in with fellow attendees\, find your flow\, and werk it out together.\n\nCome solo or bring a friend. Stay for an hour or the whole evening. Leave feeling accomplished.\n\n\n	Arrive at 5:00 PM | Program begins at 5:30 PM\n	Bring your laptop\, planner\, or whatever you need to get things done\n	Food and drinks available for purchase\n	Free and open to all\n\n\nAbout Our Speaker - Amanda Kostura (she/they)\n\nSustainable Impact: Managing the Emotional Weight of Business & Advocacy\n\nIn our current professional landscape\, "pushing through" is often mistaken for resilience. For LGBTQ+ and Allied professionals\, the daily hustle is often layered with the "Representative Stress" of being an advocate and a safe space for others. Join Amanda Kostura\, LISW-S\, for a high-impact\, 15-minute exploration of the neurobiology of stress and professional longevity. We'll move beyond superficial self-care to discuss how to shift your brain from "survival mode" back into a state of focus and fulfillment. You'll leave with realistic\, multi-dimensional tools to manage your energy\, protect your well-being\, and ensure that as you pursue professional excellence\, you remember to take yourself with you.\n\n\n\nAmanda is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a Minor in Child and Family Development and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Akron. She founded Carve Your Own Path with the intention of providing more human-centered care from well-supported and cared for providers.
