The Humanity of Emotion

An author and couples therapist, Heather Oglesby writes stories and poems to capture the nuances of moving through the world and being human. Heather began journaling when she was five and she hasn't stopped since. After starting a blog while living in Rwanda, she continues to write about travel, relationships, grief, and therapy. Her writing has been featured in Ravishly, Pollen, Communal Table, Africa Agenda, Peace Corps, and LoveBoldly. Heather was also the recipient of the 2019 Humanitarian Award from her alma mater, Hendrix College. Heather is most passionate about relational healing, human connection, and the power of story. When not writing or in the therapy room, you can find Heather hiking in the mountains, rollerblading in the city, and planning for her next adventure. She lives in Colorado with her wife and their cat, Moira.
