Description

Dr. Laura Mattia continues on her mission to inspire women to harness the power of money to do good through her latest initiative, the Money and Meaning Masterclass- a free monthly workshop in Sarasota offered to clients and friends designed to inspire and educate. The women participating in these workshops are encouraged to see money through a new lens, as a reflection and extension of their personal values.

When asked what the workshop is all about, Dr. Mattia replied, "Money is a tool, not an end goal. When you align your financial choices with your values, whether it's supporting yourself, your family, or your community, you create a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment. Ultimately this workshop aims at supporting purpose and meaning in our lives."

Currently, twenty women are actively participating in these workshops, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. If you're curious to learn more or would like to join, we'd love to connect with you. Last month, Dr. Mattia was invited to speak at a workshop hosted by Sheldon Press in London, where she addressed over 100 women.

She will be running a free workshop/luncheon here at the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce. We're excited to invite you to be part of a specially selected group of women for this upcoming workshop and we encourage you to bring along a friend - someone you believe would enjoy and benefit from this meaningful experience.

Please RSVP to BFreeborn@wealthenhancement.com space is limited so attendance will be first on a first come, first served basis.
