#46: Expert Interview! Stress Management for Over-Stretched Professionals w/Coach Jackie de Crinis

Jackie is an expert in stress management, overthinking and JOY. (Already hooked? ME TOO.)

And she knows what she's talking about.

With a background of 30+ years as a Hollywood Producer, working for the biggest name companies on high profile shows, she has ample experience with STRESS.

"There's this concept of 24 hours in a day, and you're like 'Well I have to sleep a FEW hours, so I've gotta figure that out 'cause I need to function. And then everything else was about multitasking, and trying to get ahead of the next tsunami of problems...

...I was always doing three things at once. It was just this juggle-fest. It felt like: I'd go to sleep with my heart racing, and I woke up with my heart racing." 

After she finally retired from television, and before she decided on her next career move, she prioritized getting her adrenaline down and recovering from that decades-long way of living.

In this episode, she breaks down the 4-step Checklist she gives clients when they're working on Stress Management at the foundation — aka their HOMEwork.

1. H: Hydration
2. O: Observe your Levels 
3. M: Meditate
4. E: Exercise

"What's amazing is - when you start doing that, you raise your self-concept, and then we start showing up differently in other ways. All of sudden, it's like I  exercised today, I ate well today, I meditated today, I drank water today, I got a good night's rest...Oo, I feel like dressing up today - I feel more powerful - I feel more confident to enter that meeting. 

Everything changes when we work on our own foundation first."
