About Heather N. Wilde
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.
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.

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.
