Jamie Tworkowski is the New York Times bestselling author of If You Feel Too Much. He founded the non-profit organization To Write Love on Her Arms in 2006, born from an attempt to help a friend and tell a story. TWLOHA is now recognized as an award-winning leader in mental health and suicide prevention. After fifteen years with the organization, Jamie stepped away in 2021 to start a new chapter. 

A two-time TEDx speaker, Jamie has inspired audiences at universities, concerts, and conferences across the United States and as far away as Australia and the United Kingdom. Booked by Collective Speakers, he continues to bring a message of encouragement and belonging to people all over. Whether the event calls for a keynote or a workshop, public or private, in-person or virtual, Jamie loves to talk about the relationship between vulnerability and connection. This is vital when both the World Health Organization and U.S. Surgeon General agree that we are facing an epidemic of loneliness.

Outside of time spent on the road for speaking gigs, you can often find Jamie in his home office leading small-group conversations. Launched in 2022, individuals meet via Zoom to talk about everything from friendship to being single to navigating seasons of change. Jamie recently returned to writing with the launch of Ever Get Home on Substack. He also offers coaching and consulting on a limited basis.

For his work over the years, Jamie has been interviewed by Rolling Stone, NBC Nightly News, and CBS Sunday Morning. After living in New York, Los Angeles, and Nashville, he's back in Melbourne Beach, Florida. Jamie loves his family and friends, surfing, music, and basketball. More than anything, he loves a little dog named Gracie.
