Bouncing around on set with a beaming smile, it's clear Jackie O is feeling like a different woman from the one who shocked fans by walking out on her popular KIIS FM breakfast radio show with Kyle Sandilands in November for health reasons.
"I'm glad I did that," the 48-year-old tells Woman's Day in between shots at our exclusive photoshoot in Sydney.
"I really needed it. It was hard to do because I don't usually take time off and always push through. But that's what I'd been doing - I'd been pushing through too much and I just couldn't do it any more. I just needed a little bit of time off to recuperate and it's been great."
After reprioritising, Jackie admits she wouldn't hesitate to quit her famous gig for good if she had to. "My health will always come first," the star admits.
But, thankfully, Jackie doesn't think it will ever get to that point.
ROUTINE IS KEY
"I don't see a reason why it would ever get to a stage where I wouldn't be able to do the show, because that's really important to me," she insists. "I love my job and that keeps me sane in a way. It's good for me to have that routine and to go in and have fun every day and laugh the way that we do. It's good for the soul."
