  • Beyond Resolutions: How to Start Your Year Grounded
    Jan 6 2026

    What if this year, you skipped the resolution and set down roots instead?

    In this episode, Kaitlyn (KK) and Jenny challenge the "new year, new you" mentality and offer a different approach—one rooted in reconnection rather than restriction. We explore why approximately 80% of resolutions fail, what sustainable change actually looks like, and how to start your year grounded instead of guilt-driven.

    We're unpacking the science behind why willpower alone doesn't work, how your nervous system plays a role in lasting habit change, and why community support dramatically increases your chances of success.

    Plus, we're sharing what's happening at Into the Woods this January—including our Alumni Detox Initiative, upcoming podcast episodes, and how our Wheel of Wellness memberships can help you stay rooted all year long.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why most New Year's resolutions fail—and why that's actually okay
    • How your nervous system impacts willpower and sustainable change
    • Practical tips for staying connected to your intentions and building habits

    Dec 9 2025

    What if the key to lasting wellness wasn't another diet—but understanding your unique relationship with food?

    In this episode, Health Coach Ginger Diedrich joins KK and Jenny to explore how nutrition shapes everything from our energy and mood to inflammation and healing. With over 25 years in the health and wellness space, Ginger shares her journey to Into the Woods Wellness and unpacks why so much of what we were taught about food simply isn't serving us.

    We're busting nutrition myths, exploring why 95% of diets fail, and discussing how a trauma-informed, shame-free approach helps clients break free from diet culture and discover what their bodies truly need to thrive.

    Plus, exciting news: We're celebrating Woodie: Wellness That Moves—our community food truck—winning second place and a $20,000 grant at the Envision Greater Fond du Lac small business pitch event!

    In this episode, we explore:

    • How food acts as information for your cells—and why what we fuel our bodies with matters for hormones, mental health, detox, and overall vitality
    • The nutrition myths we've been taught (and why "fat makes you fat" and "eating healthy is expensive" don't hold up)
    • Why 95% of diets fail—and how a trauma-informed, shame-free approach creates lasting change
    • The power of elimination protocols to uncover your unique food triggers and sensitivities
    • Bio-individuality: why there's no one-size-fits-all path to nutrition
    • Practical tips for shifting from diet culture to a sustainable lifestyle mentality
    • Simple questions to assess your relationship with food—and small shifts you can make today
