In this episode we interview Jacki Amato who is a Certified Professional Coach, an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner, a Core Dynamics Transition, Wellness and Leadership Coach, and a Certified Happiness Coach.

Jacki helps busy people beat the overwhelm, anxiety and self-doubt to avoid burnout at work and home.

She is a firm believer in taking ownership of one's health and this has taken her to new adventures, such as hiking.

Jacki's passion for the outdoors helped her create a fun coaching experience for her clients via "Walk and Talk with Jacki" where coaching and the outdoors came together. 

But her true inner passion comes alive when she presents one of her two signature workshops "Ditch the Stress Workshop" or "7 Levels to Up Your Energy in Health."  Both of these workshops are around 35 minutes long.
