Heather A. Robinson hails from Philadelphia, PA, and holds the distinction of being the youngest among her eight siblings—five brothers and three sisters. Facing adversity from a young age, Heather experienced the loss of her mother at the age of 7 and her father at 15, instilling in her a sense of self-sufficiency.

Married to Minister Christopher L. Robinson, Heather has achieved significant academic milestones. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in African-American Studies from Temple University, followed by a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Grand Canyon University. Additionally, she completed 15 Post-Graduate credits in Education from Gwynedd Mercy College. Despite her academic accomplishments and passion for teaching, particularly helping those who are shy and reserved, Heather aspired for more.

In the midst of personal challenges, including the consecutive loss of two sisters, Heather embarked on the establishment of her writing service business, Anointed2write. Anointed2write offers a range of services, including writing, editing, typesetting, and self-publishing, complemented by various coaching options.

Heather stands as a three-time award-winning author and has self-published three books. She has also emerged as a virtual speaker at prestigious events such as The Destiny Explosion Summit, The Comeback Champion Summit, The Bold Christian Collective Building Kingdom Business, The Profits Conference, and The She Leads She Profits Virtual Summit. Heather’s podcast interviews, spotlights, and magazine features are forthcoming, and her numerous nominations speak to her impact, including the Author Allstar award, First Foundations Award, and KRC It’s In A Book award. Additionally, she is slated to receive the Global Iconic Change Maker Award in November.

Presently, Heather dedicates her life’s work to coaching others through their pain, guiding them to reclaim their power, voice, and narrative. Rooted in her journey of overcoming silencing, she strives to assure others that they have a voice that matters—that they are enough. Heather understands the profound impact of interpersonal connections and aims, with each encounter, to empower those who feel devalued. Her mission is to leave an enduring impression that encourages individuals to step into their destiny and purpose.

We had the amazing opportunity of sitting down with Heather to discuss her journey from idea to publishing:

Heather, you’ve experienced significant challenges early in life, losing both your parents at a young age. Can you share how this experience impacted who you are today as an entrepreneur and leader?

Wow, great question. Losing my parents young taught me to be self-sufficient and resilient. Grief and loss are complicated, and people handle it differently. I actually utilized those losses as motivation to do what I can to help others navigate through their pain to purpose. I had to learn what I am now coaching others through, and that has helped me stay in purpose.

Starting your publishing business, Anointed2write, while dealing with the loss of two sisters is a lot. What inspired you to launch this venture, and how has it evolved over time to offer writing, editing, typesetting, and self-publishing services, as well as coaching options?

Yes, it was and still is a lot. Through feeling like the rug was snatched from under me, I had to find a way to cope. The inspiration to launch my company while navigating loss has been therapeutic. This has helped me develop one of my courses entitled R.T.T. reclaim your power, take back your voice, and tell your story. In this course, I walk participants through what I did to begin navigating through my pain to my purpose.

You’re a three-time award-winning author and self-published author. Could you tell us about your books and the messages or stories you aim to convey through your writing?

My books are:

• “A Season of Pressing, A Spiritual Awakening”: This book chronicles my spiritual journey during a very trying time. It has eight chapters, each with a title and scripture reference to back up real-life experiences. My plight is that God will allow us to go through things, but we need to trust him to bring us through them—he wouldn’t bring us to it without bringing us through it.
• “Words of Reflection, a 30-Day Devotional unto The Lord”: This book encourages others to spend daily time with the Lord. Each day has a thought for the day, a scripture to meditate on, with an affirmation to help affirm who God says we are. Remember, you are not defined by what others say about you.
• “To Wholeness from Brokenness, Will Ye Be Made Whole”: This book chronicles a series of trials and tests I have experienced over the past few years. The book includes two poems as well as 10 sections that give raw and uncut examples of what I have gone through and how God has pulled me through.
• “The Whole Entrepreneur”: My newest book is a collaboration that brings together knowledge and experiences from successful entrepreneurs, coaches, and business owners. With a focus on strategies for achieving success in all aspects of life, including business, career, wellness, and life balance, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to build a successful and fulfilling life as an entrepreneur.

The message I would like to convey is that there is power in your story. There is someone waiting for your story, and their life depends on it.

You’ve been a virtual speaker at various summits and conferences. What message do you hope women take away from your platform?

What I hope people take away from my talk is that we do not go through what we go through for ourselves; we go through what we go through to help others get through to the other side. There is purpose in our pain.

You’re due to receive the Global Iconic Change Maker Award in November. Can you share the significance of this award and what it represents in your journey and mission?

Anointed2Write LLC (A2W) coaches you through reclaiming your power, taking back your voice, and telling your story! This can be done through writing, speaking, and Education, in person as well as virtually, at home as well as abroad. As you mentioned, I am being presented with the Global Iconic Change Maker Award, which also shows my global impact on the lives of people from all different walks of life. My mission is to give a voice to those who feel silenced by helping them navigate through their pain and tell their story.

Your life’s work now involves coaching others through their pain and helping them reclaim their voice and story. What strategies and approaches do you use to guide individuals through their healing and empowerment process?

The steps I take in all of my coaching programs are as follows: first, we complete a 15-minute discovery call to determine if we are a good fit. If not, I try to assist in connecting the client with someone who is a good fit. If we are a good fit, we move to a consultation to determine the client’s needs and expectations. We then embark on a 6-week intensive course that is interactive, thought-provoking, and allows for in-class as well as homework assignments to ensure the client remains on track. At the end of the coaching, there are a few things the client must complete. Lastly, we do a final overview of the client’s workbook, and I give the client tips to continue in their pursuit of their healing, as I believe it takes a lifetime to reach true wholeness.

Your personal journey from feeling silenced to empowering others is truly inspiring. How do you encourage people to find their voices and believe in their worth, especially when they may have experienced adversity or self-doubt?

It starts with what you think about yourself. If a client needs tools to boost their self-talk and self-thoughts, I give them tools such as affirmation cards, assign them times throughout the day to meditate, pray, listen to music, and soak in the tub—whatever we discover relaxes them; we focus on that. This is critical in the first few days because the idea is to eliminate any negativity we put out negativity and put in positivity by determining what keeps them in a positive headspace. Lastly, I teach them how to stay there.
