AnneMoss Rogers Biography

AnneMoss Rogers helps people build emotional muscle and create a culture of wellness and resilience. As one of the most relatable motivational mental health speakers, Rogers transforms her tragedy of losing a son to suicide into a powerful message of post-traumatic growth. Far from a story of despair, she focuses on the human capacity to grow through what we go through.

In 2019, Rogers published her award-winning memoir, "Diary of a Broken Mind" and in 2020, she co-wrote the bestseller "Emotionally Naked: A Teacher’s Guide to Preventing Suicide" with Dr. Kimberly O’Brien, now translated into three languages.

A TEDx speaker, she has been featured in the New York Times, Variety Magazine, and interviewed by CNN’s Erin Burnett on teen mental health at the prestigious Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference. She was the first non-clinician invited to speak on suicide at the National Institute of Mental Health.

Rogers is a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill and lives in Richmond, Virginia with her husband. Her surviving son is a filmmaker in Los Angeles. AnneMoss is her FIRST name. It’s a Southern thing.
