For more than a decade, Jim Sonefeld has inspired audiences with a message of resilience, recovery, and reinvention. What began in recovery communities, churches, and civic organizations has evolved into a powerful keynote experience that resonates with audiences navigating change, uncertainty, and adversity in every walk of life.
One of the most meaningful creative undertakings of my adult life was writing the manuscript that became my 2022 memoir, Swimming With the Blowfish: Hootie, Healing, and One Hell of a Ride. It took me years to believe I had a story worth sharing—and even more time to shape that story into something clear, honest, and readable after I began writing in the fall of 2017.
