  • Summary

  • 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 425: Drowning in Information, Starving for Experience | Tim Elmore, Generation Z Unfiltered
    Feb 3 2025
    In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with leadership expert and bestselling author Tim Elmore to explore a startling reality: today’s kids are drowning in information but starving for firsthand experience. As adolescence stretches longer than ever—sometimes into the late 20s—young people are overexposed to knowledge before they’re ready but underexposed to real-world challenges until it’s too late. Elmore unpacks why this shift is happening and how overprotection, prescriptive parenting, and risk aversion are leaving kids unprepared for adulthood. With decades of experience developing young leaders, Elmore offers solutions for reversing this trend—starting with allowing kids to face real challenges, take meaningful risks, and develop the social and emotional resilience they’ll need in life. He explains why protecting kids from discomfort today can lead to greater harm tomorrow and why true preparation means letting them fail, struggle, and grow. This powerful conversation will challenge you to rethink how we guide the next generation toward genuine readiness, not just survival. ** Get your copy of Generation Z Unfiltered here Learn more about Tim Elmore and all he has to offer including the Habitudes here Learn more about Growing Leaders here ** Get your 1000 Hours Outside Really Very Crunchy Tour Tickets here !!

    1KHO 424: Trusting Your Instincts in a Culture That Doesn’t | Caley Jones and Andrea Haskins, Radical Moms Union
    Feb 2 2025
    Are moms being pressured to ignore their instincts? In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with Caley Jones and Andrea Haskins from Radical Moms Union to explore the cultural forces that make motherhood harder than it needs to be. From the deceptive marketing of formula companies to the societal push for early separation between mothers and babies, they unpack how corporate interests and outdated norms often override a mother’s natural wisdom. Caley and Andrea share their personal journeys of breaking free from these pressures—choosing home birth, extended breastfeeding, and questioning the mainstream path. They reveal how the messaging around motherhood has been shaped by industries that profit from insecurity, exhaustion, and separation. This conversation is an invitation for moms to reclaim their confidence, trust their instincts, and rethink what truly matters in raising their children. ** Learn more about the Radical Moms Union and all they have to offer here ! ** Get your tickets to the 1000 Hours Outside Really Very Crunchy Tour here !

    1KHO 423: The Worst Parts of Life Can Be Made Good | Tori Hope Peterson, Breaking the Patterns That Break You
    Jan 31 2025
    In this powerful episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with Tori Hope Peterson, a passionate advocate for foster care, a mother, and the author of Fostered and Breaking the Patterns That Break You. Tori shares her deeply personal journey through the foster care system, revealing the pain of being moved from home to home, the impact of both neglect and kindness, and the long road to healing. She opens up about the challenges of breaking generational cycles, the power of forgiveness without closure, and how faith and resilience have shaped her life. Tori's reflections on attachment, identity, and finding belonging in unexpected places offer profound insights not only into the foster care system but also into the human need for love and security. As the conversation unfolds, Tori and Ginny explore the beauty of redemption—how even the hardest parts of life can be transformed for good. Tori shares wisdom from her books, detailing the lies many believe about healing, relationships, and success, and offering tangible steps toward wholeness. She also discusses her passion for hospitality, creating a home that welcomes the brokenhearted, and how her own experiences have shaped her view of what it means to be a "safe house" for others. This heartfelt and deeply moving episode is a testament to the idea that no matter how painful our past may be, hope and restoration are always possible. ** Get your copy of Breaking the Patterns That Break You here Learn more about Tori here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
