Jamie Thompson is a lifestyle and personal essay writer with a knack for exploring health, parenting, and mental wellness. Jamie loves to find humor in the everyday chaos of motherhood, especially those relatable moments we all have. Her writing has been featured in various outlets, including Newsweek, HuffPost, Health Magazine, and Parents. She earned her degree from the University of Michigan and has a master’s in healthcare administration that she hasn’t quite put to use yet.
When she’s not crafting witty pieces, Jamie is busy navigating the wild world of parenting three spirited kiddos and keeping her goldfish alive. Currently based in Dallas, she has also called Tucson, New York City, Houston, and Kansas City home. You can catch her sharing (arguably) funny life anecdotes on Twitter at @Jamie_Twrites.
