The Power of Perspective - Event Recap

The Power of Perspective: Finding Humor, Hope, and Opportunities to Grow in Every Season

Our October Ladies Lifestyle Network event was one for the books — full of laughter, connection, and lightbulb moments that had every woman in the room nodding, smiling, and saying, “That’s so me!”

We gathered at the beautiful Remote Workspace & Reading Lounge in Fort Myers, a creative and cozy space designed for professionals, parents, and entrepreneurs alike to thrive.

From the moment you step inside, you can feel that this place was built with heart — from the private offices and podcast room to the childcare option that allows parents to breathe a little easier while they create and connect. It’s more than just a workspace; it’s a sanctuary for growth and inspiration.

A Night of Laughter, Lessons, and Real Talk with Stephanie Al-Arnasi

Our featured speaker, Stephanie Al-Arnasi — owner and founder of MAJA Head Spa — absolutely lit up the room.With her signature humor, warmth, and authenticity, she reminded us that life isn’t meant to be perfect — it’s meant to be lived, learned from, and laughed through.

Stephanie doesn’t shy away from telling the whole story — the messy middle, the unexpected turns, and the hilarious moments that come with chasing your dreams. She kept us laughing and on our toes, weaving real-life lessons into every story she shared.

By the end of the evening, everyone in the room could relate to her in some way — whether it was learning to trust your gut, embracing being a work in progress, or finding humor in the chaos of life. Stephanie has a rare gift: she leaves you both inspired and grounded, reminding you to see your life through a lens of hope, courage, and joy.

After her talk, she moved through the room connecting with as many women as possible — laughing, listening, and leaving everyone she spoke to feeling seen and encouraged. It was a beautiful thing to witness.
