Hi. I’m Anne Marie Miller…most people call me Annie.
I’m a hospice nurse clinical team leader, author, and public speaker. For the last two decades+, I’ve written and spoken about the things we whisper about…religion, sexuality, trauma recovery, addiction, mental health, and what it takes to keep living a brave life when life gets brutal.
I’ve been a keynote speaker at workshops, universities, communities of faith, and conferences, and I’ve traveled across the U.S. and to more than 20 countries, telling stories of hope found in the least likely places. I’m also a graduate of the SCORRE Conference for professional public speakers.
My work has been featured in outlets like The New York Times and Cosmopolitan, and I’ve appeared on NPR and PBS NewsHour, particularly around my work advocating for sexual abuse survivors.
You might know my writing under earlier bylines including Anne Jackson and Anne Marie Miller. Same voice…just more life.
These days I work in hospice, where the world is quiet enough to hear what’s true. I live in the Dallas–Fort Worth area with my daughter and very yappy dog, and I’m trying to pay attention to the ordinary miracles hiding in plain sight.
My most recent traditionally published book is Healing Together: A Guide to Supporting Sexual Abuse Survivors (HarperCollins, 2019).
