  • The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast - 1KHO 485: Allow Childhood to Go Slow | Maggie Dent, Parental as Anything

    International parenting icon Maggie Dent joins Ginny Yurich for a critical conversation that challenges everything we’ve been told about raising children in today’s fast-paced, screen-saturated, achievement-obsessed world. With wit, wisdom, and warmth, Maggie shares the truth that every overwhelmed parent needs to hear: childhood is not a race. From toddler tantrums to reading readiness, she explains why we must stop pushing academic milestones down to younger and younger ages—and start trusting the powerful, innate timelines of child development. This episode is packed with practical wisdom, relatable stories, and a deeply reassuring message: slow is not a setback; it’s the way children thrive.

    Together, Maggie and Ginny unravel the damage done by the modern rush—over-scheduling, over-parenting, and overstimulating our kids—and shine a light on the antidote: unstructured play, freedom to explore, and time in nature. You’ll learn why playgrounds matter more than you think, what monkey bars have to do with reading, and how resilience is built in the dirt, not on a screen. Whether you’re new to parenting or deep in the trenches, this episode will give you the courage to push back against the pressure and let your child grow at their own perfect pace.

    • Happy & Healthy with Jeanine Amapola - The Type of Guy to Marry and AVOID | Ft. Madi Prewett Troutt - Relationship Ready Ep. 1

      Alright friends, this is the very first episode in my Relationship Ready series! Since I’m about to have our sweet baby (so wild!!), I’ll be re-sharing some of my most popular episodes all about relationships while I take a little break for maternity leave. And honestly, I couldn’t think of a better way to kick it off than with my bestie Madison Prewett Troutt. This episode is packed with truth, laughter, and so much wisdom—I just know it’s going to bless you big time.

      We hadn’t recorded together in forever, so this was such a sweet reunion and honestly, it turned into one of the most real and heartfelt convos.We talked all about her book The Love Everybody Wants, and let me tell you—it’s powerful. Madi shared how she started writing this book when she was single and finished it after getting married. She opens up about heartbreak, healing, finding identity in Christ, and how to actually love others well.
      We also dove into some big topics: why singleness is actually a gift (yes, we’ve both been there!), what red flags to look out for in relationships, how to know if he’s the one, and why your relationship with God and yourself has to come first. It’s deep, vulnerable, and full of encouragement—I think you will love it.

    • The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast - 1KHO 484: Homeschooling, You're Doing It Right Just by Doing It | Joel Salatin, Polyface Farms

      Joel Salatin—farmer, author, and foreword writer for Ginny Yurich’s new book—joins us for his fifth episode, and it’s a powerhouse. This conversation is a front-row seat to what happens when you raise kids in real life instead of a classroom. Joel walks us through the radical decision he and his wife made in the 1980s to homeschool, back when it was still illegal in parts of the country and deeply misunderstood. With no research, no co-ops, and no roadmap, they said yes anyway—because they couldn’t say yes to the public system, and they couldn’t afford private school. The outcome? Two thriving, confident, competent adult children and a family legacy that changed generations.

      We talk about why the simple things—folding laundry, planting a garden, making muffins—build real competence and self-worth in a world that’s often more virtual than visceral. Joel’s stories are riveting: from a son who couldn’t read at ten to one who now runs the family business with confidence and purpose. If you’ve ever questioned your decision to homeschool (or are considering it), this conversation will remind you: you don’t need to know how it all turns out to know that you're doing something that matters.

      • Follow 2 Lead: A Christian Leaders Podcast - #400: Perfected in Christ: Bethany Broderick on Finding Your Identity in Christ - no Performance

        In this powerful episode of the Follow 2 Lead Podcast, Tony Miltenberger is joined by Bethany Broderick, author of Perfected: Trading Shame and Striving for Wholeness in Christ. Bethany shares her personal journey of wrestling with self-sufficiency, the pressure to perform, and the quiet battle with shame—and how the truth of the gospel changed everything.

        This conversation explores the intersection of faith, leadership, creativity, and spiritual growth, with honest reflections on parenting, community, and the daily practices that help us stay rooted in Christ. Bethany invites listeners to reject the lies of hustle culture and embrace the wholeness we already have in Jesus.

        Whether you’re feeling the weight of unrealistic expectations, battling self-condemnation, or simply longing for rest, this episode will encourage you to stop striving and start trusting the One who has already done the work.
