Number 1: 1KHO 912: Your Child Isn't Behind | Dr. Tamara Rosier, Your Brain's Not Broken
Ginny Yurich sits down with Dr. Tamara Rosier, founder of the ADHD Center of West Michigan and author of Your Brain’s Not Broken and the new Your Brain’s Not Broken for Teens and Young Adults, for a practical and encouraging conversation about navigating life with ADHD. Tamara explains why ADHD is about far more than attention or hyperactivity, exploring its often-overlooked effects on emotions, motivation, executive function, and identity. She shares why teens with ADHD may develop several years behind their peers in executive functioning—and why parents need the courage to look at the child in front of them rather than measure them against conventional timelines. They also unpack Tamara’s memorable four-quadrant framework for understanding motivation, from draining “yellow” tasks and anxiety-fueled “red” productivity to mindless “blue” downtime and the life-giving “green” experiences that genuinely recharge us. Along the way, Tamara offers practical strategies for procrastination, avoidance, time blindness, and helping teens build independence without shame. It’s a hopeful conversation about understanding how an ADHD brain works, finding language for difficult struggles, and giving young people the time and tools they need to flourish.

Number 2: 1KHO 906: Your Brain Is Begging You to Go Outside | Dr. Eva Selhub, Your Brain On Nature
Ginny Yurich sits down with physician, resilience expert, and Your Brain on Nature author Dr. Eva Selhub to explore the remarkable ways nature influences our brains, bodies, relationships, and overall well-being. Drawing from decades of research, Dr. Selhub explains why our increasing separation from the natural world—combined with constant screens, information overload, and chronic stress—may be taking a greater toll than we realize. They explore surprising research on everything from indoor plants and cognitive performance to texting, mental fatigue, dopamine, attention, empathy, and the accumulating effects of everyday stress. Dr. Selhub explains how nature can help restore an overwhelmed nervous system, improve our capacity to think and connect, and provide a powerful counterbalance to modern life. Plus, hear why pets can strengthen connection, how gardening and walking support the brain, why even the aromas of trees may influence our health, and how small doses of nature woven into everyday life can make a meaningful difference.

Number 3: 1KHO 905: Play is the Essence of Parenting | Dr. Kim Van Dusen, Parenting Through Play
What if one of the most effective parenting tools isn’t another consequence or reward, but play? Ginny is joined by Dr. Kim Van Dusen, licensed marriage and family therapist, registered play therapist, and author of Parenting Through Play, to explore how play can transform challenging behavior, strengthen connection, and bring more peace into family life. Dr. Kim explains why play is a child’s natural language and shares simple ways parents can use it to diffuse power struggles, ease transitions, and encourage cooperation without abandoning healthy boundaries. They also discuss the importance of decompression time, why saying “yes” more often can reduce conflict, and how parents can recognize when they’re over-parenting and give kids more opportunities to build independence and confidence. Dr. Kim offers practical strategies for helping parents regulate themselves, making mealtimes and picky eating more playful, and continuing to connect through play as children grow into tweens and teens. This conversation is a refreshing reminder that parenting doesn’t always have to become more serious when things get difficult. Sometimes, adding a little play is exactly what changes everything.

Number 4: 1KHO 903: Kids In The Kitchen | Jack and Emmy Zhang, Weeknight Winners : Family Dinners
What if one of the best tools for raising capable, confident kids is already sitting in your kitchen? In this episode, Ginny talks with Jack and Emmy Zhang, founders of Cooking for Levi and authors of Weeknight Winners: Family Dinners, about how cooking alongside their five-year-old son, Levi, has become about so much more than food. What started with Jack sharing his love of cooking has grown into a family rhythm that builds connection, confidence, curiosity, language, and real-world skills. Jack and Emmy share practical ways to involve kids in the kitchen—even when they're young or parents aren't confident cooks themselves. From pouring and stirring to choosing ingredients, exploring foods from around the world, and eventually learning more advanced skills, small opportunities to contribute can have a lasting impact. They also discuss how food naturally opens doors to sensory exploration, vocabulary, geography, culture, and meaningful family conversation. It’s a joyful reminder that children don't always need another activity or screen to keep them occupied. Sometimes they simply need to be invited into the things we're already doing.

Number 5: 1KHO 899: You’re Entitled to be a Happy, Healthy Mom | Dr. Rick Hanson, A Happy Healthy Mom
Ginny Yurich sits down with psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Rick Hanson to talk about a truth mothers desperately need to hear: you deserve to be happy and healthy, too. Drawing from his new book A Happy Healthy Mom, co-written with his wife, Jan Hanson, Rick explains why motherhood can be profoundly depleting, and why caring for mothers is one of the most important ways we can care for children. Together, Ginny and Rick explore practical ways to lower demands, increase support, and build resilience during the motherhood years. They discuss the invisible workload many mothers carry, learning to let things go, asking more of partners, avoiding over-giving, managing anxiety and anger, and recognizing the small moments of goodness woven into ordinary days. Ginny also shares how getting outside transformed her own experience of motherhood, while Rick explains how nature, perspective, and intentionally “taking in the good” can help restore an overwhelmed nervous system. This is a compassionate, practical conversation for any mom who has ever felt exhausted, stretched thin, or like she’s running on empty Get Rick's book here! ** A huge thank you to our sponsors!
