Beyond Resolutions: How to Start Your Year Grounded

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
