What if the reason dating feels so hard... is the story you keep telling yourself about it? Spend the evening with optimism expert Case Kenny and dating coach Lauren Fondriest for a night that's part fireside chat, part hands-on reset for how you talk to yourself about love. This isn't a passive "sit and listen" event — come ready to work, laugh, and leave with language that actually shifts how you show up on your next date. How the night unfolds: We're kicking things off with a live, candid conversation — Lauren sitting down with Case to unpack the ideas behind his new book, The Language of Optimism, and the framework changing how people think about setbacks, risk, and possibility: Belief, Spark, and Leap. Then the real fun starts. You'll dive into a guided workshop built on Case's framework — but made for dating: Rewrite the story you've been telling about your last situationship Practice the audacity to ask for what you actually want Train your brain to expect connection instead of bracing for disappointment Case and Lauren will be right there with you, coaching in real time and making sure every exercise lands specifically for your dating life. You'll walk out with language that builds real inner confidence — the kind that shows up on your next date, but also in how you ask for a raise, how you talk to yourself about money, and how you show up for the life you actually want. This workshop is about training your mind to expect more, everywhere. And you won't be doing it alone — you'll be in a room full of people practicing it live alongside you. About the bookThe Language of Optimism reveals how the words you use to narrate your life, your setbacks, and your future literally rewire your brain to attract the life you want. Optimism isn't a mood — it's a method, and the fastest way to install it is through language. Case's three-part system — Belief, Spark, and Leap — teaches you to move from treating your circumstances as permanent, to training your nervous system for the future you want, to translating that belief into bold action.
