In this first episode of 2026, PRO/JECT kicks off the new year with an honest, grounding conversation about slowing down, clarifying your work, and building a sustainable business as an entrepreneur. Christina shares what’s ahead for PRO/JECT in 2026, including guest expert interviews, deep dives into marketing strategy, copywriting, social media, and a refreshed, step-by-step marketing strategy series designed for small business owners.

This episode is part reflection, part roadmap. Christina talks about redefining success after burnout, using planning tools, human design, and even AI (hello, ChatGPT) to create monthly themes, focus areas, and mantras that support both business growth and personal well-being. Instead of “new year, new you” hustle culture, this episode centers on nervous system regulation, clarity, boundaries, and realistic goal-setting—especially for entrepreneurs balancing work, family, and life.

You’ll also hear what to expect from the podcast this year, including access to a practical marketing strategy template, a community-first approach to learning, and an invitation to co-create future episodes based on what listeners are actually struggling with.

If you’re an entrepreneur looking for marketing strategy, clarity, alignment, and a more human way to build your business in 2026, this episode sets the tone for the year ahead.

Topics covered include:

• Marketing strategy for small businesses in 2026
