The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

  • 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 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companies to the societal push for early separation between mothers and babies, they unpack how corporate interests and outdated norms often override a mother’s natural wisdom.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.

    1KHO 422: When You Stop Moving, You Start Dying | Mark Sisson, Born to Walk
    Jan 29 2025
    In one of the most transformative episodes of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with Mark Sisson, founder of Primal and author of Born to Walk. Together, they debunk the myths surrounding fitness, endurance running, and calorie burning, uncovering why walking is the ultimate form of movement for health, longevity, and happiness. Mark shares eye-opening insights about how running can actually hinder weight loss, lead to injury, and suppress the immune system, while walking stimulates fat metabolism, strengthens the kinetic chain, and even reduces the risk of dementia by 40%. This conversation challenges the "no pain, no gain" mindset and gives listeners permission to embrace walking as the most efficient, sustainable, and joyful way to stay active. Mark also dives into the science of barefoot movement, the surprising impact of minimalist shoes, and the power of sprinting for fat reduction and fitness. From his inspiring personal journey as a former marathon runner to his recovery from hip replacement through walking, Mark offers practical advice for integrating movement into daily life. This episode will reshape the way you think about fitness and leave you ready to lace up your shoes—or take them off—and reclaim your health, one step at a time. ** Get your copy of Born to Walk here Learn more about Mark here Learn more about Peluva barefoot shoes 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.

very informative and fun to listen to!

I just had my first baby this spring and through my endless research on how to be the best parent in the world, I stumbled on the 1000 hours outside challenge (which we will be doing next year as well as trying to get as much time outside as possible for the remainder of this year). I was then so excited to find this podcast! This podcast offers a range of topics focusing on wellness that benefit adults and children alike! Keep up the good work Ginny!

Best Podcast For Raising Kids

This podcast is the only one I prioritize to keep up on. The topics range enough to help in all areas of raising children, but the concept runs deep, and the roots are there for all topics, that being outside helps! I'm in awe of what I learn and regularly hear my friends learn. This podcast is a topic of discussion regularly with my friends, and it just keeps spreading as we pass it along as a suggestion to others. I cannot recommend this enough!
