Troy, MI: Rewrite Your Story with Optimistic Personality Disorder

What if one afternoon could help you reset what's been weighing you down, refocus on what matters, and laugh your ass off while you're at it?

Rewrite Your Story combines a powerful, interactive personal development workshop with an evening performance of the nationally touring one-woman comedy show Optimistic Personality Disorder.

Whether you're navigating a life transition, feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, or simply ready for a new chapter, this experience is an opportunity to step away from the everyday and focus on YOU.

1:00–4:30 PM

Spend the afternoon exploring the stories, beliefs and patterns that influence how you show up at work, in relationships and in your own life.

Through conversation, reflection and interactive exercises, you'll explore:

• The stories you've collected along the way and which ones you're ready to rewrite.
• The responsibilities and expectations that may be draining your energy.
• What you're ready to change, release or reclaim.
• What matters most to you now.
• What you want your next chapter to look like.

Merit's Rewrite & Rewire work helps you examine the stories and beliefs influencing your choices.

Natalie's Trust Tax™ and Responsibility Reset work helps you recognize the hidden costs of being the person everyone depends on and how to create healthier patterns.

You'll leave with fresh perspective, practical tools and a clearer sense of what comes next.

7:00–8:30 PM | Doors open at 6:30 PM

After the workshop, enjoy a dinner break and return for Optimistic Personality Disorder, Merit Kahn's nationally touring one-woman comedy show about resilience, reinvention and the absurdity of real life.

If a TED Talk and a tequila shot had a baby, it would be this show.

Through stand-up, storytelling and theatrical comedy, Merit explores life, love, motherhood, marriage, divorce, health scares, career twists and those moments when we have to decide what the hell we're going to do next.

It's funny. It's honest. It's unexpectedly moving.
