Some stories are read.

Others are experienced.

Join author, therapist, and speaker Jacqui Filbeck for an intimate evening celebrating the launch of The Chasing Collection, beginning with her debut memoir, Teen Mom to Therapist: Chasing Legitimacy.

More than a traditional book launch, this is an honest conversation about identity, resilience, motherhood, military service, education, healing, and what it means to spend years chasing worth—only to discover it was never something you had to earn.

Through storytelling, guided conversation, audience Q&A, and reflection, we’ll explore the moments that shape us and the courage it takes to rewrite the stories we’ve believed about ourselves.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, social worker, therapist, veteran, student, or simply someone navigating life’s transitions, you’ll leave reminded that your story is still being written.
