Heather Hendrie

Heather Hendrie is an award-winning author and mental health advocate whose work uses humour to smash stigma around menstruation, sexuality, and the stories we’re usually told to keep quiet. She is the creator of the Awfully Hilarious Project and anthology series—including Amazon #1 bestsellers Awfully Hilarious Stories We Never Tell, Awfully Hilarious Period Pieces, and Awfully Hilarious Pillow Talk. Her books have twice won the Canadian Book Club Awards and were recently featured by the CBC in its 50 Books to Read This Season list.

Heather is currently writing the memoir Where the Eff Is My Red Tent, a bold and deeply personal account of her thirty-year journey to a diagnosis of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and her advocacy for menstruating people navigating mental health and hormones.

A registered clinical counsellor and founder of True Nature Wilderness Therapy, Heather lives in Whistler, British Columbia, where she blends nature-based therapy with storytelling, community building, and radical honesty.
