F*ck Up Your Kids with Grace & Humour: Book Celebration Lunch
About this Event
What if we stopped pretending parenting is something we're supposed to have figured out?
This is a lunch for the parents who love their kids fiercely — and still sometimes lose their shit.
The parents who know better, have read the books, listened to the podcasts and promised themselves, I'm not going to parent the way I was parented... only to hear something come out of their mouth one day and think:
Where the hell did THAT come from?
On Thursday 27 August, International #1 Bestselling Author and Parenting Alchemist Jacqlin Richards joins PR strategist and communications expert Rochelle Moffitt for an intimate, honest, funny and thought-provoking conversation about parenting, being parented, and what really drives the way we show up with our children.
No perfect-parent performance.
No judgment.
No pretending we've got it all sorted.
Just real conversation, real tools and a room full of humans willing to talk about what parenting actually looks like.
“A bold and important contribution to the parenting conversation.” — Dr. Shefali Tsabary, New York Times bestselling author of The Conscious Parent and The Parenting Map
THE CONVERSATION WE'RE HAVING
Parenting has changed.
But have we?
We're raising children in a world radically different from the one we grew up in — and many of us are discovering that the parenting we've inherited isn't always enough for the world we're raising our children into.
So what do we do instead?
Why can we know exactly how we want to parent and still find ourselves reacting in ways we swore we wouldn't?
What happens when the pressure to be a “good parent” and always “get it right” actually makes parenting harder?
Why do incredibly capable adults sometimes walk through the front door and completely lose their shit?
And what becomes possible when we stop chasing perfect parenting and start understanding what's actually driving us?
That's the conversation we're getting into.
THE ROOM WE'RE CREATING
This is a welcome space.
Permission to not be the perfect parent — whatever that even means.
To be the messy, human parent who gets it wrong sometimes and is still figuring it out.
But this isn't a space to stay stuck.
It's a conversation designed to move us forward — with more awareness, more responsibility, more capacity and a whole lot less shame.
Because parenting isn't about getting it right all the time.
It's about what we do with what happens next.
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
- A different understanding of why you can know better and still not always do better
- A way to recognise what's happening when you find yourself mid-reaction
- Practical tools you can use when parenting gets hard
- A different relationship with guilt, shame and the pressure to get parenting “right”
- A grounded, funny, no-BS conversation about powerfully raising children in the world we're actually living in
- Space to ask your own questions and be part of the conversation
THIS BOOK CELEBRATION LUNCH INCLUDES
- A three-course lunch at Non Solo Pizza
- An exclusive live conversation and Q&A with Jacqlin Richards, hosted by Rochelle Moffitt
- A personally signed copy of F*ck Up Your Kids with Grace & Humour; The Truth About Parenting

THIS IS BIGGER THAN A BOOK
Parenting doesn't only shape what happens inside our homes.
It is the first leadership system our children experience — shaping the humans who will go on to build our workplaces, communities and world.
This isn't just the celebration of a book.
It's the beginning of a different conversation about parenting.
