The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

Wendy Speake joins Ginny Yurich for a rich, honest conversation about the quiet ways modern distractions shape our homes, our attention, and our souls. Drawing from The 40-Day Social Media Fast, The 40-Day Sugar Fast, and Triggers, Wendy shares why a wanting life never leads to a satisfied life, how putting down our phones helps us lift our eyes to God and the people right in front of us, and why small acts of self-control can change the whole atmosphere of a family. This episode is thoughtful, practical, and deeply encouraging for any parent who wants more peace, more presence, and a more grounded way to live.

In this deeply moving conversation, Brittany shares how sudden loss reshaped her life, how faithful friends and family stepped in during the darkest days, and how hope slowly grew again in places that once felt impossible to heal.
