Mind-Body Practice & More From Croft Edwards

About this episode

Dr. Christie McMullen discusses mind-body practices and the concept of productive joy with guest Croft Edwards.

In this Productive Joy recap, Dr. Christie highlights guest Croft Edwards, a 25-year Army veteran and author of The Liquid Accordion, discussing how the body and mind work together and how daily habits are always “practice” that either move you toward desired outcomes or keep you stuck. The key takeaway is to practice intentionally—whether that’s exercise, breathwork, getting off the couch, or choosing joy—because repetition builds skill in whatever you do most. Croft defines productive joy as “flow,” a friction-free state, which connects to the Intentionality Group’s focus on solving root causes in business by taking care of humans first, improving productivity, ROI, and retention.
