    1KHO 952: It's Never Too Late To Become Someone New | MP Woodward, The Handler
    Oct 23 2026
    Five years can change everything. In 2021, M.P. Woodward was an Amazon executive who had never published a novel. Today, he's writing Tom Clancy thrillers like The Handler and collaborating with bestselling author Jack Carr on The Fourth Option. His remarkable reinvention is a reminder that it's never too late to pursue something you've always wanted to do. In this conversation with Ginny Yurich, the former naval intelligence officer shares more than his unexpected path to becoming a novelist. He explains why his characters gravitate toward painting, philosophy, and analog living in an increasingly digital world, and how these pursuits teach us to notice what others overlook. He also explores the extraordinary ways ordinary people's decisions have shaped history, sometimes preventing unimaginable disasters. From the surprising connections between ancient water systems and modern artificial intelligence to the importance of honor over ambition, this conversation is about paying attention, choosing courage, and recognizing how much can change. ** A huge thank you to our sponsors!

    1KHO 951: The Lost Art Of Enjoying Everyday Life | Ian Bogost, The Small Stuff
    Oct 22 2026
    Children know something about enjoying life that adults have largely forgotten. A stick, a cardboard box, or even a marshmallow can become an entire world of discovery, while grown-ups increasingly measure experiences by their productivity or future payoff. Ian Bogost, author of The Small Stuff: How to Lead a More Gratifying Life and a writer at The Atlantic, joins Ginny Yurich to explore how our pursuit of convenience, efficiency, and achievement has quietly stripped everyday life of some of its richest pleasures. From the surprising limitations of the famous marshmallow test to the disappearing rituals of paper tickets and ordinary human interactions, Bogost reveals how much we're overlooking. Their conversation offers a refreshing perspective on childhood, screen time, and the pressure to optimize every moment. It also reveals a remarkably simple way to experience more joy without changing your circumstances, accomplishing more, or waiting for something better to happen.

  • 1KHO 950: The Motherhood Advantage | Dr. Anne Welsh, Ambitious Mother

    1KHO 950: The Motherhood Advantage | Dr. Anne Welsh, Ambitious Mother
    Oct 21 2026
    Even if you spend every possible moment with your children, you'll still grieve how quickly they grow up. That sadness isn't proof you missed something. It's part of loving someone who is constantly changing. Dr. Ann Welsh, psychologist, coach, and author of Ambitious Mother, joins Ginny Yurich for a hopeful conversation about the surprising ways motherhood changes us. Welsh explains how becoming a mother can strengthen our ability to lead, prioritize, connect, and even think creatively—and why playing with our children may develop skills we carry into the rest of our lives. They also explore the enormous amount of invisible work mothers perform, why the village we need rarely looks like the one we've imagined, and how our ambitions can change without disappearing. From stepping away from a dream job at Harvard to redefining what a successful life looks like, Welsh offers a refreshing perspective on motherhood, identity, and the freedom to grow through every season.

  • 1KHO 949: Raising Kids in a Narcissistic Age | Chuck DeGroat, Who You're Becoming

    1KHO 949: Raising Kids in a Narcissistic Age | Chuck DeGroat, Who You're Becoming
    Oct 20 2026
    We live in a world that rewards performance, comparison, and constant approval. But what is that doing to our children—and to the people we're becoming? In this deeply thoughtful conversation, Ginny sits down with therapist, pastor, and author Chuck DeGroat to explore the hidden roots of narcissism, the surprising ways childhood wounds shape adult behavior, and why genuine character development requires far more than simply trying harder. Chuck challenges parents to rethink what it means to protect their children. Our job isn't to eliminate suffering, but to become the safe place they can return to when life gets hard. He also explains how technology narrows our attention, why so many adults remain trapped in patterns they don't recognize, and how something as simple as watching birds can begin to restore our capacity for wonder and connection. Drawing from his new book, Who You're Becoming, Chuck offers a hopeful reminder that lasting transformation happens slowly, through relationships, honest reflection, and learning to be fully present. ** A huge thank you to our sponsors!

    1KHO 948: Slow Is a Superpower in Childhood | Carl Honore, In Praise in Slowness
    Oct 19 2026
    Childhood was never meant to be a race. Bestselling author and Slow Movement pioneer Carl Honoré returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast for a conversation about what happens when we stop rushing our kids and ourselves through life. Carl and Ginny talk about why boredom matters, how overscheduling can turn childhood into a race for perfection, why some of the best conversations with our kids happen when nobody is watching the clock, and the power of the small things like family meals, puzzles, books, nature, sleep, and simply having nowhere else to be. They also explore slow schooling, homeschooling, our complicated relationship with screens, and Carl’s beautiful book Slow Adventures, which invites children to experience the world at a more human pace.

    1KHO 947: Building Up a Culture of Care | Tim St. John, After Church Hurt
    Oct 18 2026
    Church hurt can leave you grieving far more than a bad experience because you can lose your community in the process. In this deeply personal conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with counseling pastor and author Tim St. John to talk about his book After Church Hurt and what actually happens when the place meant to care for you becomes the source of the wound. Ginny shares her own family’s experience of raising serious concerns inside their church, being pushed out, and still dealing with the effects years later. Tim explains the three waves of church hurt, why naming what happened matters, how shame and hypervigilance can linger, and what to look for when you're ready to trust a church community again. They also talk about something surprisingly hopeful: churches intentionally building cultures of care where people know exactly where to turn when life falls apart. Tim shares free counseling training and resources through Lighthouse Community Church, along with more resources, sermons, articles, and information about his work at TimothyStJohn.com.

  • 1KHO 946: How Ordinary People Develop Remarkable Techniques for Weathering Crises | Dr. Raj Panjabi, Safer

    1KHO 946: How Ordinary People Develop Remarkable Techniques for Weathering Crises | Dr. Raj Panjabi, Safer
    Oct 16 2026
    When life suddenly stops feeling safe, the people around us may be our greatest protection. Dr. Raj Panjabi is a physician, the former White House national security official, the co-founder of Last Mile Health, and one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People. He joins Ginny Yurich to share what he has learned about navigating uncertainty from an extraordinary life that began when he fled civil war in Liberia as a nine-year-old refugee. Drawing from his new book, Safer, Raj explains why waiting for certainty can be dangerous, how “normalcy bias” caused him to miss the frightening signs of his own young daughter’s heart failure, and why our instinct to pull inward during hard times may be exactly backward. This conversation moves from his father’s unforgettable mantra of “no condition is permanent” to the science of resilience, the power of asking for help, and the surprising truth Raj has seen everywhere from remote communities to the White House Situation Room: our greatest protection isn’t isolation, it’s connection.

    1KHO 945: Lessons from 45 Years of Raising a Child with Special Needs | Dr. Joe and Cindi Ferrini, The Special Needs Parent
    Oct 15 2026
    Raising a child with special needs changes nearly every aspect of family life, but it can also reveal extraordinary opportunities for love, growth, and connection. Dr. Joe and Cindy Ferrini, authors of The Special Needs Parent: A Guide to the Life You Never Expected, join Ginny to share lessons from nearly 45 years of raising their son Joey, who has cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and developmental disabilities. Through heartfelt stories and practical wisdom, they explore the realities of lifelong caregiving, protecting marriage, supporting siblings, building community, and navigating the isolation many special needs families experience. They also discuss the role of faith in suffering and how unexpected challenges can transform a family's understanding of purpose. This conversation offers encouragement to parents walking a difficult road while challenging friends, neighbors, and churches to move beyond good intentions and offer meaningful, practical support. It's a powerful reminder that every family deserves to be seen, welcomed, and supported. Get the Ferrini's book here! ** A huge thank you to our sponsors!
