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.

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. Don’t miss this one.

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.”

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.

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.
