Conversations with the Author

The Chasing Collection Launch Weekend

4PM Saturday August 8, 2026

118 S Berkeley Blvd

Goldsboro NC

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.

The evening includes:

• Author conversation and live Q&A
• Behind-the-scenes stories from writing Teen Mom to Therapist: Chasing Legitimacy
• Book signing
• Opportunities for conversation and connection
• Exclusive launch weekend merchandise and gifts

The Chasing Collection

One Story. Many Chapters.

A memoir series exploring identity, purpose, resilience, movement, and healing.

Because becoming isn’t a destination.

It’s a lifelong journey.
