Dr. Torise L. Hiller is a transformation coach, educator, author, and women’s empowerment advocate who believes that when we change our minds, we can change everything. Her journey is rooted in healing, faith, and the courage to reshape narratives that were once defined by pain, silence, or judgment. Featured in Humans of Fuzia, her story serves as a reminder to our 5 million-strong community—composed of women, allies, and change-makers—that empowerment begins when we create safe spaces for others to grow. With a mission grounded in He for She and She for She, her work inspires women to evolve, own their stories, and step boldly into their purpose.
Q: What inspired you to become a transformation coach?
A: I’ve been on this journey of self-growth and personal development for a long time. I truly believe that when you change your mind, you can change everything. Many of us grew up in spaces that should have made us feel safe and secure but didn’t. We carry pain from those experiences, and often we don’t even recognize it. I help people identify those moments, shift their perspective, and make small pivots that create big transformation.
Q: You work with many leaders and women. What is the core philosophy behind your coaching?
A: I work with leaders, women, and people in church and education spaces. I believe in telling our stories—because healing happens when we do. Too often, our stories go to the grave because we fear judgment, or we think no one will understand. I provide safe spaces where individuals can unpack past experiences, forgive themselves, and realize they aren’t alone. We’re more alike than we realize.
Q: How do you structure your coaching and programs?
A: I do one-on-one coaching, small groups, workshops, and conferences. I host conferences twice a year, in November and March. I love the intimacy of working individually, but I also value the community that forms in group spaces. I partner with ministries and women-focused organizations to create environments where people can show up, learn, and heal.
Q: You’ve written many books. What are you working on now?
A: I’ve written 10 books, and I’m working on my 11th—which is very different from anything I’ve done before. It focuses on women’s health advocacy and my own medical experiences, especially how the system fails women and doesn’t listen to us. It has been challenging, emotional, and healing at the same time. I’m also finishing a children’s book dedicated to my family, titled “I’ll Be Going to Church.”
Q: What are your aspirations for the next few years?
A: Personally, I want to finish these books. Professionally, I want to build my global speaking authority beyond church settings. My goal is to take my message to the international stage and help people in all capacities. I want to speak globally and create impact on a professional level.
Q: What challenges have you experienced on this journey?
A: One challenge has been navigating technology and AI. As a writer, I value authenticity, so it was overwhelming initially. But I’m learning to adapt and use tools that support my work without compromising my voice. Another challenge is burnout—being a writer, speaker, and entrepreneur can be draining, and recovery isn’t always easy. Economically, revenue can come in spurts, so finding sustainability is an ongoing process.
Q: What message would you like to share with our readers?
A: Be greater than yesterday. Every day is an opportunity to get things right. Don’t let a moment become a mountain. Give yourself grace, turn the page, and keep moving. We often hold on to things too long—let them go and step into who you’re becoming.
“Every day we are given the power to change something. Don’t allow a moment to define your future—turn the page, and keep going.”
