How do you make decisions in your business? Do you tap into your intuition, listening for how you believe you should move, and being guided by that to make the big decisions in your business, and the rest of your life?
Bex Lipp co-founded Wildling Books from a strong intuitive push. She and her business partner Craig both (and their respective partners) all had specific skills that, combined together, made the perfect mix for an independent publishing company.
Designed to publish books conceived, written, illustrated and designed internally, Wildling Books first book Aroha’s Way became a huge hit for parents and teachers wanting to help children understand how to better manage anxiety.
Since then the team have created a range of other books, including a series that covers more of the tools that our children need to develop resilience, and mental well being. They sell their books both directly, and also through major retailers across New Zealand and Australia
Bex’s intuition has lead to a new book, called Intuition, targeted this time to adults.
Today we talk to Bex about why intuition is such an integral part of how she lives her life, and runs her business, why she’s now ok to tell people she’s “woo woo” and what she’s hoping for next for Wilding Books.

Director of Wildlingbooks
With a passion to bring awareness to the mental health of children from her own personal story, Bex has now been asked to speak at events around the topic of the creation of the books created at Wildling HQ, anxiety and mental health. After going through two years of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), after ending up in crisis in her early twenties, Bex felt there was a real gap in what the professionals knew and what parents and teachers needed to know. Bex strongly feels that we can empower our children with skills to help prevent them from ending up in crisis like she did. Using the skills, she has learnt throughout her journey with anxiety, depression, self-harm, body dysmorphia and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) she is creating books with messages to help children connect with their emotions and learn ways to regulate them.
With a gentle parenting approach, Bex feels that all children have genius within them and if we act out of a place of compassion, kindness and love, we will see our children thrive.
Bex was thrilled that How Do I Feel? A Dictionary of Emotions was awarded as a Notable Book in the Storylines Book Awards 2021 and was also a Finalist in the 2022 NZ Book Awards for Children & Young Adults.
One cool fact: I am really woo-woo. I used to hide it away but am now embracing the spiritual side of me with our new book, oracle card set and notebook around Intuition.
One cool thing about the business. We are just two families that do everything from coming up with ideas, to … Read More
