Elizabeth Yost

Yost works on popular productions like Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ “Hannah Swensen” and “Curious Caterer” movie series, and the “Aurora Teagarden” prequel. Her team also developed “Color My World with Love,” which is the company’s first movie focused on characters with Down syndrome, all played by actors with Down syndrome. She makes things happen: After reading two different scripts involving the Air Force—one with technical authenticity, the other with the Hallmark voice—she merged the two scripts into “Come Fly with Me.”

“Companies can reverse the trend of women leaving the workforce by adopting a more family-friendly mindset, implementing flexible work schedules, parental leave policies and support programs for employees managing caregiving responsibilities.”

How do you de-stress? To de-stress, I’ve integrated a holistic routine into my daily life. Each morning, I start my day with a short meditation, setting a positive tone, followed by a run or spin class, strength training and stretch session. It’s during these workouts that I’m the most creative. However, my most effective stress relief has been my decade long commitment to martial arts training. Sensei Enrique Gomez, is both my part-time therapist and skilled instructor. Beyond the physical benefits, the mental and spiritual growth I’ve experienced has boosted my confidence. It’s more than just a workout; it’s a transformative experience that positively influences every aspect of my life.
