What if education wasn’t about grades or transcripts—but about becoming the kind of person who can figure it out? In this powerful and timely episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Matt Beaudreau returns for a second time to help launch Ginny Yurich’s brand new book, Homeschooling: You’re Doing It Right Just by Doing It, which he proudly endorsed. Together, they dismantle the conveyor belt model of schooling and offer a radically freeing alternative: when parents grow, kids grow.
Matt shares stories of teens building real-world skills, chasing big goals, and thriving outside of traditional timelines—often without ever taking a test. He and Ginny explore meta-skills, modeling, self-reliance, boredom as a gift, and why success without peace is failure in disguise. This is not just a podcast episode—it’s a rallying cry for parents to trust themselves, grow boldly, and reclaim childhood.

International parenting icon Maggie Dent joins Ginny Yurich for a critical conversation that challenges everything we’ve been told about raising children in today’s fast-paced, screen-saturated, achievement-obsessed world. With wit, wisdom, and warmth, Maggie shares the truth that every overwhelmed parent needs to hear: childhood is not a race. From toddler tantrums to reading readiness, she explains why we must stop pushing academic milestones down to younger and younger ages—and start trusting the powerful, innate timelines of child development. This episode is packed with practical wisdom, relatable stories, and a deeply reassuring message: slow is not a setback; it’s the way children thrive.
Together, Maggie and Ginny unravel the damage done by the modern rush—over-scheduling, over-parenting, and overstimulating our kids—and shine a light on the antidote: unstructured play, freedom to explore, and time in nature. You’ll learn why playgrounds matter more than you think, what monkey bars have to do with reading, and how resilience is built in the dirt, not on a screen. Whether you’re new to parenting or deep in the trenches, this episode will give you the courage to push back against the pressure and let your child grow at their own perfect pace.

Joel Salatin—farmer, author, and foreword writer for Ginny Yurich’s new book—joins us for his fifth episode, and it’s a powerhouse. This conversation is a front-row seat to what happens when you raise kids in real life instead of a classroom. Joel walks us through the radical decision he and his wife made in the 1980s to homeschool, back when it was still illegal in parts of the country and deeply misunderstood. With no research, no co-ops, and no roadmap, they said yes anyway—because they couldn’t say yes to the public system, and they couldn’t afford private school. The outcome? Two thriving, confident, competent adult children and a family legacy that changed generations.
We talk about why the simple things—folding laundry, planting a garden, making muffins—build real competence and self-worth in a world that’s often more virtual than visceral. Joel’s stories are riveting: from a son who couldn’t read at ten to one who now runs the family business with confidence and purpose. If you’ve ever questioned your decision to homeschool (or are considering it), this conversation will remind you: you don’t need to know how it all turns out to know that you're doing something that matters.

What if the things you don’t have are exactly what God wants to use? In this powerful conversation, Tauren Wells joins The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to share the story behind his new book Joy Bomb: Unleashing Jesus’s Explosive Joy for an Extraordinary Life. Together with host Ginny Yurich, Tauren unpacks the deeper meaning of the Beatitudes—revealing how Jesus' first sermon wasn’t just a list of virtues but a radical invitation to joy for the overlooked, the grieving, the struggling, and the spiritually empty.
They explore how our culture’s obsession with curated happiness leaves us chasing a version of joy that never satisfies. Instead, Tauren offers a bold reframing: lack, mourning, and hardship aren’t roadblocks—they're invitations into a deeper, more explosive joy. With stories from his own life, parenting insights, and biblical truth, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about what it means to live a blessed life.

What if the most powerful world your child will ever explore isn’t inside a screen—but just outside your door? In this magical episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, naturalist and author Susie Spikol returns to share enchanting stories, unforgettable facts, and simple, wonder-filled activities that celebrate the everyday wild. From dandelion tea and fairy rings to moss gardens and mushroom lore, Susie invites families to reclaim imagination from the grip of Big Tech and rediscover the joy of small-scale adventure. Her new book Forest Magic for Kids is a whimsical guide that blends hands-on nature exploration with folklore, creativity, and fun.
Susie and Ginny dive into why real-world imagination matters more than ever—and how we can nourish it in our children without needing expertise, expensive tools, or special destinations. You'll learn how nature not only sparks curiosity but also strengthens a child’s connection to place, family, and story. If you've ever needed proof that wonder still lives in the backyard (and that childhood doesn’t need to be fast-tracked), this episode is it. Nature delivers—and so does this conversation.

What if the root of our youth mental health crisis isn’t just academic pressure or social media—but the quiet erasure of childhood itself? In this gripping and deeply practical episode, ADHD executive function expert Mike McLeod to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast for his most urgent conversation yet. Together, we dive into the realities of raising kids in a screen-saturated, performance-obsessed culture—and what it’s costing them. From summer packets to chatbots replacing real relationships, we explore how childhood has been engineered for burnout, and why reclaiming play, boredom, and independence is the antidote our kids desperately need.
Mike makes a compelling case that parenting doesn’t need to be more complicated—it needs to be simpler, more connected, and more rooted in what actually works. He lays out three critical skills to focus on this summer: people skills, executive function, and the ability to persevere through boredom. If you’ve ever felt the ache that something about modern childhood is off, this conversation will give you language, vision, and tools to chart a better path forward. It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing less of the wrong things and giving our kids their childhood (and future) back.

For the first time together on the show, David and Sissy dive deep into the social, emotional, and spiritual milestones our kids must hit to thrive—skills that don’t show up on a report card but make all the difference in life. From why listening is the secret to becoming an interesting person, to how healthy risk fuels resilience, they bring real insight and practical tools for every parent.
With warmth, wit, and decades of clinical experience, David and Sissy explore everything from perfectionism in preschoolers to the epidemic of anxious adolescents—and how playful training can shift the entire trajectory. They introduce their new Daystar Dogs book series, designed to equip even the youngest children with courage, resilience, and emotional vocabulary.

When Zan Tyler uttered the words “My child needs more time,” she had no idea it would lead to threats of jail time, legal battles, and ultimately helping with homeschooling on a national scale. In this powerful episode kicking off a special homeschool-focused series, Ginny Yurich and Zan Tyler reflect on the early days of the homeschooling movement, the courage it takes to advocate for your child, and why the simple act of stepping outside the system is doing more good than you think.
Zan’s story is one of faith, perseverance, and legacy—but it also speaks directly to the parent who’s feeling unsure, behind, or just plain tired. If you’ve ever wondered whether homeschooling is right for your family (or if you’re doing it “right”), this episode is for you.

What if everything you’ve been chasing—money, titles, recognition—is pulling you further from the life you actually want? In this gripping, mind-altering episode, Ginny Yurich sits down with Sahil Bloom, bestselling author of The Five Types of Wealth, for a raw and powerful conversation that just might change how you spend your time, build your family, and define success. Sahil unpacks the “poverty of more,” the illusion of the arrival fallacy, and why being a “time billionaire” is the most overlooked kind of wealth in our modern world. This episode challenges you to reimagine your life’s scoreboard, and it delivers the clarity we’re all craving: what actually matters, and how to protect it.
Through relatable stories, shocking data, and vulnerable moments, Sahil and Ginny explore how to raise grounded kids in a world obsessed with more, how to define your own “enough,” and why tiny shifts in focus—like a Tuesday night dinner or coaching your kid’s sports team—can redefine legacy. It’s not just about having more time; it’s about designing a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. Don’t miss this one—it might be the most important episode of the year.

Molly DeFrank returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast with a powerful message for moms of boys in a rapidly shifting culture. Drawing from her new book Mothering Boys: Eight Things Your Son Needs Before He Turns 10, Molly breaks down what young boys actually need from their moms—especially in a world that increasingly devalues masculinity and replaces human relationships with screens and AI companions. With urgency and encouragement, she shares research-backed insights, practical tools, and soul-shifting stories—from Stephen King to hyena #3—that affirm the everyday moments of motherhood are shaping our sons’ futures far more than we realize.
In this compelling conversation, Molly and Ginny dive deep into why family dinners (even the chaotic ones) still matter, how screen time is silently stealing our kids’ resilience, and why failure might be the greatest gift we give our children. They discuss the cultural erosion of boyhood, the rise of AI “relationships,” and the critical importance of wonder, outdoor play, grit, and belonging. This episode is both a wake-up call and a warm hug for moms raising boys—and a call to amp up our efforts before the window closes.

Rates of chronic illness are soaring in both children and adults—and many are getting sick younger, with no family history to explain it. In this gripping episode, Dr. Aly Cohen, a board-certified rheumatologist and environmental health expert, exposes how tens of thousands of unregulated chemicals are quietly infiltrating our homes, foods, water, and personal care routines. Drawing from her new book Detoxify, Dr. Cohen explains how immune- and hormone-disrupting chemicals are linked to rising rates of autoimmune disease, obesity, anxiety, allergies, and more—and why this chemical overload often begins before a child is even born.
But this isn’t a doom-and-gloom conversation—it’s a call to action. Dr. Cohen shares realistic, affordable ways families can reduce their toxic load, including simple product swaps, smarter food choices, and the surprising power of sweating, sleeping, and even bouncing on a trampoline. With science-backed clarity and mother-to-mother warmth, Dr. Cohen helps us reclaim our health from a system that won’t do it for us. If you want to raise healthier kids in a toxic world, this episode is essential.

In this vulnerable and hope-filled episode, bestselling author and theologian Lisa Harper joins Ginny Yurich to explore one of the most pressing questions of our time: does past pain disqualify us from future purpose? With her signature blend of humor, warmth, and depth, Lisa shares her powerful adoption story, how trauma shaped her early years, and the way God met her in the darkest places to bring about redemption. From being told she shouldn’t become a mother because of her history of abuse to becoming a single parent through adoption in her 50s, Lisa offers hard-won wisdom and a message of restoration for anyone who’s ever felt disqualified by their past.
Together, Lisa and Ginny unpack deep theological truths in a way that’s accessible, practical, and deeply personal. They discuss the theology of tears, the beauty of community, and how diving into Scripture with curiosity (and even a little queso) can radically transform your life. This conversation is for the one who’s weary, the one who’s healing, and the one who’s wondering if there’s still a beautiful future ahead. Spoiler: there is.

This might be the most important episode we’ve ever released. Dr. Richard Freed, psychologist and author of Better Than Real Life, pulls back the curtain on persuasive design—the hidden psychological science used by tech companies to keep kids glued to their screens. These technologies aren't just entertaining—they’re engineered by neuroscientists to exploit children's deepest instincts and hijack their brains. Most parents have never heard of this, yet it’s quietly reshaping childhood as we know it.
We talk about the ethics of manipulating kids, why screen time guidelines have mysteriously disappeared, and how AI is supercharging the problem. From children who won’t get off devices to teens forming relationships with AI bots, Dr. Freed explains how we got here—and what we must do to reclaim real life for our kids. If you’ve felt like you're losing your child to a screen, this episode will help you understand why.

On this unforgettable episode, international bestselling author and podcaster Andrew Klavan joins Ginny Yurich to reflect on the surprising ways imagination shapes who we are. From stick duels in the woods to secret readings of the New Testament, Klavan’s childhood was filled with the kind of quiet, reflective space that allowed his creativity—and ultimately his faith—to grow. He explains how the loss of that space in modern childhood is costing us more than we realize, and how imagination isn’t just for play—it’s a moral and spiritual training ground.
Together, they explore how beauty can rise out of darkness, how stories point us toward truth, and why the smallest unseen kindness might just echo into eternity. Whether discussing murder mysteries, motherhood, or the role of art in shaping the soul, Klavan brings deep wisdom, wit, and clarity to the conversation. This episode is a rich reminder that imagination is not a luxury—it’s a lifeline.

In this gripping episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Dr. Leonard Sax—family physician, psychologist, and bestselling author—explains how American culture has quietly dismantled the foundation of effective parenting. From the normalization of disrespect to the overreliance on screens, Dr. Sax outlines the subtle but powerful shifts that have led to rising anxiety, plummeting resilience, and widespread disconnection in today’s youth. He warns against the illusion of safety that keeps kids indoors, over-scheduled, and emotionally underprepared—and calls on parents to reclaim their authority and their role in shaping a better, stronger future for their children.
With stories from his decades of clinical work and global school visits, Dr. Sax brings clarity to a chaotic landscape. He offers an urgent but hopeful message: it’s not too late to course-correct. Real change begins when we limit toxic cultural inputs, reestablish parent-child attachment, allow kids to face real-world risk, and redefine what success truly means. This is a must-listen for any parent who feels alone, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to raise strong, joyful, unfragile kids in an increasingly fragile world.

In one of the most heartwarming conversations yet on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich welcomes Leah Boden back to explore her new book series, Tales of Boldness and Faith. Together they dive into the life of C.S. Lewis, the power of stories to shape a soul, and the lingering beauty of a well-spent childhood. Through Leah’s tender storytelling, we discover how ordinary moments — reading in an attic, conversations around a table — became the seeds of wonder that shaped generations.
This episode is a celebration of imagination, slow living, and the unseen ways we pour into the future simply by living well today. If you’ve ever wondered if small choices matter, if storytelling still has a place in a noisy world, or if childhood wonder can linger into adulthood — this conversation will encourage you deeply. It’s an invitation to savor a slower, richer, and more meaningful life.

In one of the most life-altering conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast, Dr. Cate Shanahan returns to unpack the deep, deceptive forces shaping our food choices—and what it’s doing to our bodies. Drawing from her groundbreaking book The Fatburn Fix, Dr. Cate reveals how vegetable oils have quietly become the most damaging ingredient in our food supply, disrupting our metabolism, fueling chronic illness, and rewiring our hunger cues from childhood. Together, we expose the myths we’ve been fed for decades—from snacking culture to sweeteners with no calories—and offer real, doable steps to take back your health, energy, and sanity.
This episode is a masterclass in metabolic truth, challenging everything you’ve been taught about what’s “healthy” to eat. We talk about why most people don’t experience normal hunger anymore, how fat is actually an organ, and why fixing your energy is more important than chasing weight loss. You’ll walk away with a powerful sense of agency—and a new filter for reading nutrition labels, scrolling through diet trends, and making food choices that actually work. Listen in and join the frontlines of a food revolution.

Journalist and author Julia Hotz joins Ginny Yurich to discuss her groundbreaking book, The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging. In this conversation, Julia shares how doctors around the world are writing prescriptions that don’t come from a pharmacy—like a group bike ride, a painting class, or even fishing. These five powerful, research-backed “social prescriptions” are helping people overcome depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic illness, and loneliness.
Together, Ginny and Julia explore the science behind these interventions, the global movement toward social prescribing, and how we can begin writing our own prescriptions for joy, connection, and well-being—right where we are. This episode is full of hope, practical insight, and a fresh look at what it really means to be healthy.

What if the root of our health crisis isn’t carbs or fat or sugar—but a missing conversation about flavor? In one of the most compelling episodes of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with author Mark Schatzker to discuss his groundbreaking book The Dorito Effect. Together, they explore how real food has grown increasingly bland while artificial flavor technology has skyrocketed—rewiring our brains, deepening our cravings, and sabotaging our nutritional wisdom. Mark explains how food that once satisfied is now engineered to deceive our taste buds and keep us coming back for more.
This episode unpacks the startling truth behind “natural flavors,” the psychological science of overeating, and why modern diets fail. Mark shares the life-changing question every person should ask before they eat: Where did the flavor come from? With warmth, clarity, and hope, he outlines how our palates can heal, how our kids’ cravings are being shaped, and why a future of deeply satisfying, joyful eating is not only possible—it’s essential. This conversation will absolutely change the way you think about food.
