Far too many people in contemporary culture feel they don't have enough time to get it all done. The kids, the career, the house, the parents, the health, the marriage. Life itself is a full-time job. And the stress of that chronic overwhelm creates a disorganized mind that leads to a chaotic life.
Inspired by my bestselling book and highly acclaimed Energy Management workshops, this course teaches you the step-by-step skills and thought processes that calm the chaos from the inside out.
Time is a constant. You, me, the CEO, the retiree, the teenager. We all get the same 24 hours. Time isn't the variable. You are.
But nobody taught you that. Instead, you were handed planners and apps and told to "manage your time better." And when they didn't work, you assumed the problem was you. It wasn't.
The problem is that our neurology has not evolved to match the pace of our technology. The amount of data produced this year will eclipse everything generated in all of human history. Your brain, still wired for saber-toothed tigers, reads every unfinished task as a threat. So you walk around in a low-grade fight-or-flight state all day, every day. And you call it "being busy."
My approach stems from the new frontier of human performance called energetic consciousness. Part philosophy, part psychology, fully practical application. When you manage your energy (your nervous system, your decisions, your beliefs, your inner world) the chaos calms without you having to "do more." You actually do less, accomplish more, and feel at peace while doing it.
Change your skills without changing your consciousness, and the skills won't last. Change your mindset without building skills, and you're just thinking positive thoughts while your life stays chaotic. This program addresses all three simultaneously.
Your consciousness, your values, your beliefs about time and yourself. This is the foundation. Without it, every skill you learn will fizzle within weeks.
Self-regulation, planning, boundaries, managing distractions, overcoming procrastination. The concrete, daily abilities that turn good intentions into real results.
The Calming the Chaos self-management system. Your Sacred Contract calendar, Sacred Intentions list, daily and weekly debriefs, the Three Strikes Rule. A complete structure that gets everything out of your head so your nervous system can finally relax.

"Taking Jackie's Calming the Chaos class was a real game changer for me. I had read her books, and learned a lot from them, but the class allowed me to take my learning and implementation of new skills to a new level. If you are looking for a way to change how you operate in the world, this is a life changing program!"
"Jackie's Calming the Chaos program is by far the best coaching I have ever had around taking charge of my life! I feel more empowered and freer by learning these new skills and tools. I am getting more done. I am less stressed, and happier too! Thank you, Jackie!"
"Jackie's work has been life-changing for me. It's hard to explain why but I am feeling totally at peace. My apartment is tidy, did all my paperwork and packed. I give Jackie total credit. I loved her message about being at peace with everything. Her workshop was life-changing."
I was diagnosed with ADHD by the doctor who created the adult ADD diagnosis. I lived with depression, PTSD, and addiction. In school, my desk was always the one with papers falling out of it. I was not born with productivity skills.
I built them. And then spent 25+ years as a counselor, coach, and professional trainer teaching them to thousands of people. From Bayer Corporation to the Girl Scouts of America. From government agencies to a group of Iranian entrepreneurs in the Seychelles Islands. From the National Association of Social Workers to a national conference of Unity ministers.
My Amazon bestselling book Calming the Chaos distills the same energy management system I've taught in my highly acclaimed workshops. The system I used to go from chaos to clarity, from chronically busy to meaningfully productive, from overwhelmed to at peace.
Not by adding more to your plate. Not by working harder. By learning to manage your energy, your consciousness, and yourself inside a system built over 25 years and proven across thousands of students.
