    This one will change the way you see every forecast, every storm, every ordinary day outside. On this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich talks with meteorologist Chris Bruin about why weather isn’t something to endure. Instead, it’s something to experience, learn from, and even lean into as a family. From chasing blizzards and hurricanes to noticing clouds with your kids out the window, Chris makes a compelling case that curiosity about the sky can pull us back into wonder and connection. They talk about raising resilient kids, taking young children on real adventures, and how the elements themselves (wind, storms, shade) can shape who we become if we let them.

    1KHO 791: Play Is the Untold Hero | Dr. Deborah McNamara, Rest, Play Grow
    May 7 2026
    Something is going wrong in childhood, and most of us can feel it. We’re rushing kids forward and wondering why they’re struggling to become themselves. In this powerful conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with Dr. Deborah MacNamara to unpack what children actually need to grow: deep rest in relationship, wide-open play, and the freedom to feel their full range of emotions. Drawing from Rest, Play, Grow, Deborah explains why maturity is not a guarantee, why play is the birthplace of personhood, and why “tears of futility” are not a problem to fix but a process that helps children become resilient human beings . This episode will change how you see tantrums, learning, and even your role as a parent—offering a steady, sane path forward in a world that keeps pushing kids too far, too fast.

    1KHO 790: Peers Are Raising Our Children | Dr. Gordon Neufeld, Hold On to Your Kids
    May 6 2026
    Parenting feels so much harder than it should and this conversation explains why. In this powerful and unforgettable episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with Gordon Neufeld to talk about a critical shift that has changed childhood over the past many decades: kids turning to peers instead of parents for guidance, identity, and belonging. Drawing from his book Hold On to Your Kids, Dr. Neufeld shows why no parenting strategy can replace relationship, why independence has been misunderstood, and why the real work is getting your child’s heart back. This one will change how you see behavior, discipline, screens, and even the pressure to “socialize” kids and it will leave you with a deep sense that it’s not too late to rebuild what matters most.

    1KHO 789: Complete Freedom Makes Us Less Creative | David Epstein, Inside the Box
    May 5 2026
    David Epstein just handed parents a whole new way to think about creativity, childhood, and the everyday limits we usually try to escape. In this fascinating episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich talks with the bestselling author of Range and Inside the Box about why complete freedom often leads to conformity, how constraints can make us more inventive, and why kids may actually become more creative when they have fewer options, less input, and more time outside. From Pixar to Dr. Seuss, Kyrie Irving, Keith Jarrett, childhood chores, multitasking, and the hidden cost of too much autonomy, David makes a powerful case that the boundaries in our lives are not always holding us back. Often, they are the very things that help us grow. Find David’s work and books at davidepstein.com, including Range and Inside the Box. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
