Traci Ruble

In 2015 Traci was so heartbroken by the disconnection between people in our world that she founded Sidewalk Talk which has grown to 7000 volunteers across 50 plus cities and 12 countries who listen to anyone about anything on public sidewalks. Her powerful talks are infused with incredible stories from hundreds of hours listening to humans from every walk of life. Traci has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, CBS News, The Washington Post, and BBC World Service and has delighted and inspired audiences. Traci is also a licensed psychotherapist who serves as an expert on topics related to loneliness, human connection, volunteerism, relationships, workplace conflict, men in psychotherapy, tech trends in therapy, and equity and inclusion.
