She discusses the importance of peer and mentor relationships in mitigating anxiety at work. She emphasizes the need for transparency with managers, utilizing workplace resources, and practicing mindfulness. Jacqueline highlights the differences between stress and anxiety, noting that stress is short-term and situational, while anxiety is persistent and can disrupt daily life. She recommends seeking professional help if anxiety persists for more than a few weeks or interferes with daily functions. Jacqueline also suggests using resources like the National Institute of Mental Health, apps like Calm and Headspace, and hotlines such as the SAMHSA help line and Crisis Text Line.
