Heather Hendrie is an award-winning storyteller and clinical counsellor who believes truth is most powerful when it’s told with both courage and laughter. Blending raw honesty, sharp humor, and deep compassion, she transforms lived experience into connection — the kind that makes people feel instantly seen and deeply understood.
As the visionary behind the Awfully Hilarious anthology series — including the Amazon #1 bestseller Awfully Hilarious Period Pieces — Heather has helped thousands of women reclaim their voices through stories that are bold, messy, and beautifully real. A two-time Canadian Book Club Award winner, her work invites vulnerability without shame and laughter without apology.
In recognition of Premenstrual Disorders Awareness Month, Heather’s work around PMDD is especially impactful. Her memoir, Where the Eff Is My Red Tent?, offers a deeply personal and validating look into the realities of living with PMDD — bringing language, relief, and visibility to an often misunderstood experience.

Whether on the page or in practice, Heather creates brave spaces where women are reminded they are not alone — and that the stories they were taught to hide may be the very ones that set them free.
