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

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.

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

What does it look like to support & move your body with intention instead of obligation?

In this episode, we're exploring physical wellness through a holistic lens—one that honors the profound connection between one's physical health/body, movement, mindfulness, and overall wellbeing. Special guest Kelly Hall, our COO and owner of Onyx Yoga, joins the conversation to share her journey to intentional living and how she's brought that philosophy to Into the Woods Wellness.

This isn't about hitting the gym harder or tracking every step. It's about understanding how movement acts as medicine for your entire system—boosting immune function, improving sleep, supporting hormone balance, and even slowing cellular aging. It's about being present in your body and giving yourself permission to adapt based on your energy, your needs, and your life circumstances.

As we head into the holiday season, this episode also offers practical strategies for staying well without the pressure of perfection. Explore ways to shift mindsets around physical health and exercise, and more.

What happens when a personal healing journey becomes a vision for holistic transformation?

In this inaugural episode, meet the women who brought Into the Woods Wellness to life. Founder Katie opens up about her own path to healing and how it sparked her dream of a different kind of healthcare – one focused on whole-person wellness, root cause solutions, and personalized care grounded in both science and nature.

CEO & Psychotherapist, Kaitlyn, and Brand & Marketing Lead, Jenny, share how they joined the vision and became part of the team to transform it from a "what if?" into the nature-inspired sanctuary and integrative wellness center that stands today in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

This is the story of how pain became purpose, how functional wellness principles took root, and how one woman's dream for rejuvenation and vitality grew into a team's mission to guide others on their own healing journeys.
