Meet Your Guide/Mentor
Hi, I’m Leslie Wall — nurse, holistic healer, book coach, and founder of Ho'ala Publishing.
But I wasn’t always here, guiding others to rise through their stories.
I was once the voiceless girl from Mississippi — autistic, anxious, misunderstood. I grew up in the shadows of trauma, poverty, and addiction. I lost people I loved. I spent years chasing stability through survival… and then rediscovered myself through writing.
Words became my medicine.
Stories became my sanctuary.
And eventually, they became my legacy.
Through decades of healing, nursing, and creative work, I’ve learned that our stories aren’t just things we survive — they’re the bridges we build for others to rise, too.
Now I help women, especially healers and creatives, reclaim their voice, write their truth, and turn their pain into purpose on the page — and beyond.
I created The Inspired Author Program as a sacred container for transformation. This isn’t just about writing a book — it’s about becoming the version of you who was always inside, waiting to be heard.
If you’ve ever felt like your story doesn’t matter…
If you’ve been carrying truth in your chest that’s begging to come out…
If you’re ready to turn your past into power — I’m here to walk with you.
You’re not just writing a book.
You’re writing your next chapter — fully aligned, fully expressed, and fully you.
Let’s rise together.

🌸 The Inspired Author Program: Your Journey Begins Here
The Inspired Author Program was born from my own story of transformation and healing. After years of searching for stability, battling trauma, and overcoming addiction, I found the one thing that finally helped me heal: writing.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to move forward. But I also know the immense power that comes with sharing your story, reclaiming your voice, and stepping into your purpose. That’s why I created this program.
This isn’t just about writing a book — it’s about reconnecting with yourself, reclaiming your narrative, and sharing your story in a way that heals, empowers, and serves others.
Throughout this 12-week journey, I’ll guide you step-by-step to write and refine your book, turning your life’s experiences into a powerful tool for transformation — for you and the world. You’ll have the support of a community of like-minded women who are all on the same path, plus personalized coaching and resources that will help you not only write your book, but make it a part of your legacy.
Whether you’re an experienced writer or just starting, The Inspired Author Program will meet you where you are. It will challenge you, uplift you, and help you unlock your potential in ways you never imagined. By the end of the program, you won’t just have a finished manuscript — you’ll have a deeper understanding of who you are and the legacy you are here to create.
This is your invitation to rise, reclaim your story, and step into your most authentic self. If you’re ready to do the work and make a powerful impact, I can’t wait to be your guide on this life-changing journey.
