Before you rush into new goals, we invite you to pause, reflect, and consciously decide what actually supports your health in the year ahead.

In this episode of The Wellness Effect, we're sharing our personal Ins & Outs for 2026 — from wellness trends we're leaving behind to habits, mindsets, and practices we're intentionally carrying forward. We talk honestly about body image, postpartum recovery, social media influence, movement, manifestation, and what it really means to prioritize health in different seasons of life. If you're feeling pressure to "do more" next year, this conversation is a reminder that clarity often comes from subtraction.

• How postpartum seasons change your capacity for training, detoxing, and goals
• How intention, honesty, and self-trust shape sustainable wellness
