About Heather N. Wilde

I've long been an educator & advocate for those who don't fit inside the box.

I’ve been an educator for many years, teaching English to middle and high school students, so I know my way around words. But more than that, I’ve been an alternative educator for people who don’t fit inside the box, such as people with addiction and mental health struggles. 

I have always shown up with compassion to provide a safe space, while always withholding judgment.

I still cry thinking about publishing my own memoir. I'd recommend it to anyone.

As a trauma survivor, I felt a calling to write my memoir—an indescribable pull that just wouldn’t go away. I was blown away by how life-changing it was. Suddenly, I didn’t have to carry the trauma anymore—the book held it all. 

It was deeply vulnerable and pushed all my fear buttons, but facing all that and hitting “publish” was incredible. I still cry thinking about it, and I would recommend the process to anyone.

"It was a very healing experience putting my story in black and white."

Heather was wonderful in providing input and very knowledgeable with the publishing process. She was always easy to reach and so encouraging when I started to doubt myself. The entire process felt simple, with no deadlines and plenty of support.

It became clear I was meant to help people share their stories so they can heal the world.

Of course, white-knuckling my way through the technicalities of self-publishing wasn’t easy. The amount of skill and knowledge required is huge, and most people can’t publish a high-quality book on their own. 

It became clear to me that I was meant to help people share their stories, so they can inspire others and heal themselves in the process. 

And that’s how Hezzie Mae was born—to help with every step of the journey.

You matter. Your voice matters. Your story matters.
