In a world that often pushes us to do more, faster, what if the key to a fulfilling life is actually doing less—but doing it well, and in the right season? In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with Steve Hoffman, author of A Season for That, to explore the power of embracing a slower, more intentional rhythm of life.

From a six-month family adventure in a small French village to the lessons of seasonality in work, food, and relationships, Steve shares how letting go of rigid expectations and focusing on what truly matters can lead to deeper joy and connection. This conversation dives into the beauty of childhood freedom, the art of living within nature’s cycles, and the surprising ways constraints—whether in language, culture, or life’s circumstances—can shape us for the better.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to do it all, this episode will inspire you to embrace a simpler, richer approach: do a few things well, and do them in season.
