Heather D. Mahoney is a Certified Life Coach and Certified Passion Test Facilitator. Once stuck in life with no clear idea of where she wanted to go, she rerouted herself and changed direction. To help others who’ve reached a similar dead end, she created Designing Your Life’s Roadmap: 8 Pathways to Guide Your Exit from the Pretender Highway. She lives in Hollywood, Florida, with her dog, Henley, and her son, Emerson (when his life’s journey brings him home from college).

Heather D Mahoney presents her life story in Designing Your Life’s Roadmap where she uses her experiences to guide you as you navigate life's many choices. Each section contains a summary of the topic and prompts to follow the text. Mahoney uses traveling metaphors to illustrate the process of overcoming mental, emotional, and physical difficulties. Space is provided for answers to the author’s questions and notes so you may consider your feelings at different stages in the process.
Far from a simple self-help book, Designing Your Life’s Roadmap is a guide to help you discover the power within to overcome obstacles and live the life you desire. Heather D Mahoney helps you to step away from people-pleasing attitudes to determine how you feel about a situation. Each subject urges you to dig deeper into your preconceived notions, habits, and societal conformities to renew your perspective and emerge with a stronger sense of self.
Mahoney takes the journey with you, giving pieces of her personal story and explaining her process. She actively includes you on the ride, and your destination is determined by your willingness to commit to adjusting to your circumstances. It will benefit you if you feel unable to improve your situation and need gentle urging to remember your self-worth. In many ways, you become a co-author of the story as you fill the pages with answers to questions Mahoney has designed to aid with personal growth and reflection.
