#78: Homeschooling, You’re Doing It Right (Just by Doing It!) with Ginny Yurich
In this heartfelt and laughter-filled episode, Julie sits down with longtime friend and founder of 1000 Hours Outside, Ginny Yurich. They reflect on their shared adventures (whitewater rafting, anyone?), the power of outdoor play, and Ginny’s newest book, Homeschooling: You’re Doing It Right Just by Doing It. Ginny shares her honest journey from stressed-out public school teacher to joyful homeschooling mom—and how letting go of “doing it perfectly” opened the door to a lifestyle rooted in freedom, connection, and creativity.
This is a conversation every homeschool parent needs to hear: grace-filled, empowering, and deeply real.
Listen in to hear about:
5 Key Takeaways:
Homeschooling may feel overwhelming, but the act of stepping outside the system already meets so many of your child’s needs. You don’t have to do it perfectly.
Having babies, toddlers, and teens under one roof isn’t a drawback—it’s one of homeschooling’s greatest strengths. Kids learn to adapt, care, lead, and empathize in ways traditional classrooms can’t replicate.
When kids have free time, they invent, create, and discover. You don’t have to fill every moment—space is a powerful teacher.
Jenny shares her own breaking point as a high school math teacher and the red flags that convinced her the system wasn’t designed with kids’ best interests in mind.
Burnout is real. But instead of giving up, take a break. Bake cookies, go to the zoo, play outside. The beauty of homeschooling is that it bends and breathes with life.
