Testimonial

Teresa talks about participating in the coaching program with me, how we drilled into identifying her negative core belief and how this helped her develop authentic confidence


"The course to me has been priceless...Authentic confidence, that is exactly where, 5 months into this, that is exactly where I am and I expect that to continue to grow.  When we remove the obstacles and we uncover the beauty of who we all are... when we start peeling away the layers that interfere with that and we have these successful experiences and we discover more joy...authentic confidence is just a natural outgrowth. And that's where I want to live!

Value of a Peaceful Brain: Priceless

 

Roadmap to Joy and Authentic Confidence is unlike any other program out there:

Comprehensive blending of two powerful wisdom traditions, psychotherapy and buddhist philosophy.  

Coaching techniques to ensure practicality and actionability.

Provides you with tools you can use the rest of your life.

A deep dive into the internal change needed to accomplish what you desire.


The Four Pillars of Joy. Over the last 20 years of working with people, I have developed an understanding of the components required for a joyful life.  These pillars are the focus for this program:  Mindfulness Meditation, Healthy Boundaries, Transforming Your Negative Core Beliefs and Deep Self-Knowledge/Self-Compassion.  Identifying your core values and your vision for your ideal life is part of all of these, and in particular is developed with deep self-knowledge.  


Joy lives within each of us. It can get covered over by stress, societal expectations, trauma, hardships, interpersonal wounds.  But it is there.  It just needs to be uncovered and activated and this program will show you how.

Barbara Heffernan, LCSW, is the founder of the Awaken Joy online coaching programs to help people transform their lives without spending years in aimless, amorphous therapy.

Barbara's 27 years of experience with meditation and Buddhism and her 17 years as a private practice psychotherapist give her unique positioning in the online life coaching world.

Because of her first career in investment banking, she's also unusual in her deep understanding of professionals in the corporate, financial and entrepreneurial world.

move forward in alignment with your values, desires & vision 

  • from negative self-talk to a positive, encouraging internal voice
  • from destructive core beliefs to self-compassion
  • from worry and overthinking to confidence and a peaceful brain


develop an inspiring, dynamic plan for the life you truly want to be living

Clear intentions, aligned with values and visioning, is the first step in manifesting the life you desire.  Clearing out the internal obstacles allows you take action.


go beyond mindset training to true healing

Positive mindset tools can be super helpful, and we will discuss them regularly in this program. However, if they are not combined with healing from destructive childhood and societal programming, they are unlikely to stick and lead to true change.  


the time is now

Why waste more years feeling badly about yourself, constantly worried about the future and unhappy? You can retrain your brain towards joy.  You can be your own best friend, develop self-compassion and improve all your relationships at the same time!

Working With Barbara

  • Barbara's approach is nothing less than revolutionary in the field of personal growth! It is a very empowering & inspirational message. I am applying the practical actions & methods she taught us. THANK YOU to Barbara & those of you working with her! Your generosity & talents will help to change the world! Namaste! -- Teresa Haugen

  • Barbara’s skillsets are unique, and I feel, very critical to her success with making these approaches to enhancing life and happiness so valuable. I come from a legal background, and have trained as a monastic, (now still in my profession and training in clinical pastoral work) and so for personal reasons find true resonance with Barbara's approach. Like the old parable of finding a gem hidden in the seam of a robe, I am glad to have found Barbara.

  • If you aren't working with Barbara, you're doing it wrong! -Barry G.

  • Barbara offers unique insights and perspective that can be used in actionable ways. She has a way of helping people explore their lives and possibilities, so what comes out of an interaction with Barbara is deeper and more personally meaningful than most experiences I've had in the past with counseling and therapy. She has great frameworks for helping people think through life situations and goals. I participated in her online workshop but got more out of that participation than I ever anticipated. I didn't get lost in details, like I do in therapy sessions... I moved forward and got excited about where I can go from here. She is very compassionate and insightful. --Heather Jacoby
