Writing a book isn’t just about putting words on a page.
It will bring up every fear, doubt and story you have about who the fuck you think you are to say what you really want to say.
And if you stay with it, it can change far more than your business.
In this honest, no-bullshit masterclass, international #1 bestselling author Jacqlin Richards will take you behind the scenes of writing and launching F\*ck Up Your Kids with Grace & Humour—and share what it really took to turn years of lived experience, professional work and hard-won wisdom into a book she could no longer not write.
Jacqlin didn’t write her book to make money from book sales.
She wrote it to claim her message.
To stop hiding.
To put a stake in the ground and fully own the body of work she had created.
But writing the book brought up fear, self-doubt and a whole new level of visibility. It asked her to become the woman who could stand behind her ideas publicly—even when they were confronting, provocative or impossible to package neatly.
On the other side of that uplevel has been extraordinary growth: national media, speaking opportunities, an international #1 bestseller, greater authority, powerful positioning and an entirely new ecosystem of workshops, programmes and possibilities around her work.
In this masterclass, Jacqlin will share:
• Why writing the book was never really about selling books
• The fear and resistance that surfaced when she stopped hiding behind her work
• What the writing, publishing and launch process actually looked like
• How the book helped her claim her authority and step into a much bigger version of her business
• How to build opportunities, offers and a wider body of work around a book
• What she would do differently—and what she would absolutely do again
You’ll leave thinking beyond “I’d like to write a book one day” and begin seeing what your book could make possible—for your message, your authority, your business and the woman you’re becoming.
Because sometimes the book isn’t the destination.
It’s the thing that blows the fucking doors open.
Jacqlin Richards is the international #1 bestselling author of F*ck Up Your Kids with Grace & Humour — The Truth About Parenting, creator of the Resourced Parenting Method™ and founder of Way of the WolfPack Ltd.
Known as the Parenting Alchemist, Jacqlin is challenging the conversation around parenting by positioning it as our first—and most influential—leadership system. Because how we raise children informs how they learn to use power, respond to pressure, navigate relationships and lead themselves and others—ultimately influencing how they go on to raise other humans.
Her honest, provocative work exposes the gap between knowing how we want to parent and being able to access that knowledge when we are activated. Rather than giving parents another set of rules to follow, she helps them build the internal capacity to choose what happens next. At the heart of Jacqlin’s body of work is a confronting truth: your child isn’t the problem—what’s driving you is.
Jacqlin is a 2026 New Zealand Small Business Awards finalist for Excellence in Storytelling and the recipient of the 2025 Women Changing the World Global Gold Award for Adult Education and Training. Her work has been featured across national media, and through her book, speaking, workshops and programmes, she is leading a new conversation about parenting, power and the future we are creating through our children.
