Confidence and dating coach Cheryl Sharp is hosting an interactive uplifting event in Monterey County this summer—designed to help singles over 40 feel empowered, social, and ready to connect with authenticity and ease.

On Thursday, July 24 at 5:30 p.m., Sharp will host “Once Upon a Mixer: A Fairytale-Inspired Evening for Singles 40+” at the charming Hofsas House Hotel in Carmel-by-the-Sea. This ticketed event includes a 30-minute interactive coaching session, wine and light refreshments, and a one-of-a-kind social icebreaker that invites guests to discover their own "fairytale character" and mingle in playful, unexpected ways.

“The twist?” says Sharp. “We’re encouraging everyone to bring a friend of the opposite gender—not as a date, but to keep things fresh, balanced, and fun. Couples are welcome too, as long as they bring a single friend.”
