Ep. 44: Anxiety, Depression, and Identifying our Core Beliefs with Barbara Heffernan.
Many of us spend a lot of our lives telling ourselves a story that isn't necessarily true, but that story stems from our core beliefs we hold about ourselves. Barbara Heffernan is a Psychotherapist and the Founder of the Awaken Joy, and she joins me on the podcast to discuss how identifying our core beliefs and overcoming can help free us from anxiety & depression. Barbara has 27 years of experience with both Buddhism and meditation, and has practiced as a private psychotherapist for 17 years, and then founded her popular, widely successful online coaching program and YouTube channel, Awaken Joy, where she has helped many people transform their lives! She uses advanced integrative techniques to help people overcome anxiety, depression, and previous traumas.
In this episode, she discusses:
- Why we are so anxious!
- What is physiologically happening when we are anxious?
- Why is it not helpful to tell someone to "calm down" when they are having a panic attack?
- What really works during a panic attack?
- Why is hard for some people to ever relax?
- By identifying our core beliefs, can we heal our inner critic?
- What are some action steps we can take to identify & heal from our core beliefs?
- How do we know if we have social anxiety versus just being an introvert?
- What really works for anxiety? What is catastrophizing & how can we stop doing it?
All this and more! It was great talking with Barbara and I know you will find this episode as valuable as I did!

New to me, The 5-Minute NP?
Hello! I'm Kimberly, and I am a family nurse practitioner (FNP)! In my last year of FNP school, I was in the worse shape of my life mentally and physically! My joints ached all over, and I had severe back pain that made it difficult to get through my clinical rotations! I had three spinal injections that were of little help! I was stressed out, sleep deprived, depressed, and my body was full of inflammation! Once I completed school, passed my boards, I realized I had to try to get my health back! I changed to a plant-based diet, starting walking, completed a 100-mile, 10- day challenge, started sleeping, changed my mindset, and through it all, I found my purpose (other than being a mom to four beautiful children)! Everything I was learning about health, wellness, mindset, & longevity, I wanted to share with everyone else, so I started The 5-Minute NP. I realized small, incremental health changes were actually life changing!
