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 in all 50 states and around the world. Currently booked independently, he continues to inspire audiences all over with a message of empathy, compassion, and hope. Whether the event calls for a keynote or workshop, and whether it's 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 connecting with people one-on-one for coaching and consulting sessions. He also enjoys leading small-group conversations, including two that have been meeting weekly since 2023. Jamie started writing on Substack in 2023 as well, with the launch of Ever Get Home.
For his work over the years, Jamie has been interviewed by Rolling Stone, NBC Nightly News, and CBS Sunday Morning. He loves his family and friends, surfing, music, and basketball. Along with a little dog named Gracie, Jamie lives in Orlando, Florida.
