Event Description:

Sometimes you just need the right space, the right energy, and the right people to finally get it done.

Join 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.
We 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.
Come solo or bring a friend. Stay for an hour or the whole evening. Leave feeling accomplished.

  • Arrive at 5:00 PM | Program begins at 5:30 PM
  • Bring your laptop, planner, or whatever you need to get things done
  • Food and drinks available for purchase
  • Free and open to all
About Our Speaker - Amanda Kostura (she/they)
Sustainable Impact: Managing the Emotional Weight of Business & Advocacy
In 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.


Amanda 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.
