In her final show, Christie explained her heartbreaking, but important decision to leave the show in Atlanta.
"I'm part of a great resignation. As some of you may know, in 2020 my husband was enthusiastic. For about three and a half weeks, the moments were really terrible. There was. When I thought I would be a single mother.
"Like many, I didn't see my parents for a year. At some point, my husband and I looked at each other. Then we just thought,'What are we doing? We have to go home.'

" I love these people. I love this place. I appreciate it very much. And I'm very tired, "she confessed.
"To be honest, our work is important ... but at the end of the day someone sits in this seat, I leave and the show continues as planned.

"And you" overcame in your personal life, it provides so much compassion and empathy, it flows into our press and we will miss you very much.
