The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.

    1KHO 508: They Said He Needed Drugs for Life. He Was Six. | Barbie Rivera, Enough is Enough

    When Barbie Rivera’s six-year-old son came home from school, she was told he was mentally disabled and would need psychotropic medication for life. But he was just a bright, bilingual little boy who confused his sixes and nines. In this gripping episode, Barbie shares her powerful story—one that exposes the systemic pressure to medicate children, the brokenness of early childhood education, and what happens when we ignore developmental phases in favor of compliance and convenience. Host Ginny Yurich and Barbie dig into shocking truths about the pharmaceutical industry’s influence in schools, the real impact of labels on young minds, and why play, patience, and presence might be the most important tools we have. It’s a raw, brave, and eye-opening conversation every parent needs to hear.

    1KHO 507: When It Feels Like Nothing’s Working | Dr. Heather Thompson Day, What If I'm Wrong?

    What do you do when it feels like your work, your prayers, your dreams—are going nowhere? In this soul-stirring conversation, Dr. Heather Thompson Day joins Ginny Yurich to talk about what it really means to live a life of passion, faith, and unseen impact. Drawing from her newest book What If I’m Wrong?, Heather shares deeply personal stories about her father’s battle with Alzheimer’s, parenting through pain, and the quiet generational weaving that connects our ordinary days to something much bigger. This episode is a reminder that success is not always measurable—and that the seeds we plant in love and obedience often bloom in ways we’ll never fully see. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, disappointment, or the fear that your life won’t amount to much, this episode will breathe fresh hope into your story. The world may measure impact one way, but heaven tells a different story. Even in your failures—especially in your failures—God might be doing His greatest work. ** 🎧 Pre-order Can I Sit Here? by Heather and her daughter London Day here 📖 Get What If I’m Wrong? here 🔗 Follow Heather on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heatherthompsonday/ 🌐 Learn more: https://www.heatherthompsonday.com A huge thank you to our sponsors!

    1KHO 506: 1000 Hours Outside is the Key to Accessing Joy as a Parent | Lindsey Prell, Ordinary on Purpose

    In this raw and hope-filled episode, Ginny sits down with Lindsey Prell, a working mom who was quietly unraveling under the weight of modern motherhood—until everything changed. Lindsey opens up about her darkest season, when she and her husband were one casual conversation away from divorce. Through a surprising series of events—including a life-giving women’s group, an unexpected job loss, and discovering the 1000 Hours Outside movement—Lindsey began a journey of healing, presence, and unexpected joy. What she found wasn’t a perfect life—but a full one. Together, Ginny and Lindsey explore the ways outdoor time can anchor us in reality, help us sift through the noise of comparison, and remind us what matters most. This is a deeply honest conversation about mindset, marriage, working motherhood, homeschooling with help, and learning to appreciate the life you’ve been given. If you’ve been chasing someone else’s dream—or just wondering how to reclaim delight in your day—this conversation will feel like an exhale. ** 🎧 Listen to all episodes: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/podcast 📲 Follow Lindsey Prell: https://www.instagram.com/ordinaryonpurpose 📘 Get the new book Homeschooling: You’re Doing It Right Just by Doing It: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/homeschoolbook 📙 Read Until the Streetlights Come On: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/streetlights 🌿 Start your 1000 Hours Outside journey: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com 📣 Share the episode and tag @1000hoursoutside A huge thank you to our sponsors!

    1KHO 505: Summer is the Season When Most People Go Through Divorce | Gabe and Rebekah Lyons, The Fight For Us

    Why is summer the most common season for divorce? In this powerful and heartfelt episode, The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast host Ginny Yurich sits down with Rebekah and Gabe Lyons—authors of The Fight for Us—to talk about the unexpected strains of modern marriage, how childhood patterns silently shape our partnerships, and what it really means to fight for each other. With refreshing vulnerability, the Lyons share the lessons they've learned through 28 years of marriage, raising four kids (two with Down syndrome), and building a life together marked by both purpose and play. They reveal why marriages unravel when there’s no plan, no rest, and no rhythm—and how to change course before resentment takes root. This episode is packed with practical takeaways, laugh-out-loud moments (yes, we’re talking drive-thru fights and dishwasher wars), and deeply moving reminders that even a broken vacation—or a broken rhythm—can become sacred ground. From connection questions to shared outdoor adventures to play as spiritual practice, Gabe and Rebekah show us that healing is possible—and worth the work.

    1KHO 504: It's Very Wise to Invest In Your Kids | Jeremy Puglisi, The RV Atlas

    Jeremy Puglisi returns for his seventh appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast—and it’s a powerful one. What began as a pop-up camper and a couple of sleep-deprived twins has become a movement, a media company, and a meaningful legacy. In this episode, Jeremy and host Ginny Yurich reflect on what it really means to invest in your children—not with money, but with time, presence, and outdoor adventures. Jeremy shares the long-term fruit of raising kids immersed in nature, adventure, and unpredictability—and how those early camping trips laid the foundation for his boys’ confidence and competence today. They talk family road trips, leaving stable careers to follow a passion, the birth of Camp Griddlemore (a cooking show you’ll actually use), and the heart behind Jeremy’s latest book series for kids. This episode is an invitation to go all-in—not because it’s easy, but because it’s worth it. Camping isn’t just a weekend escape; it’s a parenting philosophy. And as Jeremy wisely says, “Investing is not always easy—but it’s very wise.” 📚 Shop Jeremy’s books: Where Should We Camp Next?, My First Book of Camping, and Let’s Go Camping: A Journal and Logbook for Kids 🍳 Watch Camp Griddlemore on the Blackstone YouTube Channel 📸 Follow Jeremy: @thervatlas 🌲 More resources: The RV Atlas Website A huge thank you to our sponsors!

    1KHO 503: Raising Kids in a Streaming World | Candace Cameron Bure, Full House

    She was a face you grew up with—DJ Tanner from Full House—but today, Candace Cameron Bure is a creative force, entrepreneur, and mom of three navigating a media landscape that’s changed dramatically since the 1980s. In this refreshingly honest conversation, Candace opens up about what it's like to raise kids in a streaming world—one with infinite entertainment options but fewer shared family experiences. She shares how fame shaped her childhood, how motherhood grounded her, and why she’s working so hard to bring back meaningful content that families can enjoy together. Ginny and Candace talk about real transitions—career pivots, unexpected isolation, raising kids in radically different childhoods than their own—and the power of media to connect or divide. Plus, Candace introduces her newest children’s book The Crazy Compromise, a heartwarming story about friendship across differences. Whether you're nostalgic for simpler times or just looking for ways to reconnect with your kids in today’s media-saturated world, this episode will make you laugh, reflect, and maybe rethink family movie night. *** 📌 Show Notes + Links: 🎁 Get $20 off the Homeschooling Kit from Generous Family Use code GIVE20 at checkout → https://generousfamily.com 📚 Join the Generous Family Book Club A new hardcover picture book each month that teaches biblical values in a fun, family-friendly way → https://generousfamily.com 📘 Candace Cameron Bure’s Books & Devotionals: Balancing It All Reshaping It All 100 Days of Joy and Strength Rise and Renew The Crazy Compromise (children’s book from Generous Family) 🎥 Watch Candace’s Family Films & Series: Great American Family Channel → https://www.greatamericanfamily.com Great American Pure Flix → https://www.pureflix.com 🎙️ Candace Cameron Bure Podcast Deep-dive seasonal topics with thought-provoking co-hosts → https://candace.com/podcast A huge thank you to our sponsors!

In this beautiful, vulnerable, and soul-stirring conversation, DawnCheré Wilkerson joins Ginny Yurich to talk about her book Slow Burn and the hidden work God does in our hearts while we wait.

This episode reminds us that life doesn’t begin after the breakthrough—it’s happening now, in the middle of the slow burn. With raw honesty, DawnCheré explores the power of music, the significance of celebration, and the miracle of showing up even when our hearts feel weary.

    Modern screen time isn’t just harmless entertainment—it’s reshaping our kids’ brains. In this summer mashup with Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, we explore how immersive, interactive tech—especially in early childhood—alters neurological development and leads to impulsivity, poor focus, and even addiction. Packed with clinical insights and hopeful strategies, this episode is a wake-up call for parents who want more for their kids than digital babysitters.
