Welcome to the first episode of Productive Joy in 2026! As the new year begins, Dr. Christie reflects on the rapid passage of time and the importance of setting intentions. Rather than making traditional New Year's resolutions, the focus is on being intentional in various aspects of life - physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

She shares her personal word for the year, 'intentional,' and encourages everyone to choose a word that resonates with them. The episode also emphasizes finding joy in everyday moments and being thoughtful in actions.
