The Light On Demand

In this episode, we’re tackling the boss-level challenge of parenting teens headed for college with Dave Kozak of Elite College Planning. The fellas get real about the stress of saving for college (spoiler: most families feel behind), the ever-growing cost of tuition, and whether the whole college experience is actually worth the hype—or just a very expensive four-year experiment.

Enter Dave Kozak, our financial Yoda for the episode. He breaks down college savings like it’s Money 101 for Hogwarts parents—especially 529 plans, which are basically your magical vault at Gringotts. He also explains the difference between “green money” (the scholarships and grants—aka free money, the good stuff) and “red money” (loans, aka the dark side). Plus, he’s all about helping parents level up their strategy when it comes to understanding financial aid, college pricing games, and how to help your kid channel their inner Elle Woods and advocate for themselves.

So if college planning feels like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded, this episode’s here to help you figure it out—and have a little fun along the way.

What if parenting didn’t have to be so complicated? In this powerful episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with Jessica Joelle Alexander, author of the bestselling book The Danish Way of Parenting, to uncover why Danish children are consistently ranked among the happiest in the world. Jessica shares what she’s learned from marrying into Danish culture and raising her own kids with radically different values—where play is considered essential, screens are secondary, and resilience is built through freedom, not pressure.

Together, Ginny and Jessica explore why free play is the real foundation for emotional strength, social skills, and future success. They dig into how parenting culture in the U.S. has drifted toward control and performance—and how it’s quietly fueling anxiety in both kids and adults. From forest schools and risky play to the overlooked power of hygge and sadness in children’s stories, this conversation offers a life-giving alternative to the parenting pressure cooker.

Want to unlock a life of true blessing? What if I told you the key might surprise you? 

In today’s episode, I'm getting real about something that's transformed my life: biblical generosity. I know, talking about money can feel awkward, but I truly believe this message is vital.

I want to share with you a conversation I had with my twin sister, Jasmine, that changed my perspective on giving. I'll also dive into what scripture says about generosity and how it's not just about finances, but about a heart surrendered to God. I've seen firsthand how obedience in this area leads to incredible blessings, and I want to share that with you.

In this episode, I'm exploring:

I hope this episode encourages you to live generously and to seek those real, deep blessings that come from God. Remember, you're loved, you're valued, and you're doing amazing! Now go make some tacos and be a blessing to someone today! 

Have questions or want to share a photo of your tacos, tag me @biancajuarezofficial.

Love you,

Welcome back to What If I’m Wrong? A show where we might not give you the answers, but we will ask some really good questions.

On today’s episode Mike Planeta joins us for submission discussions. Mike Planeta is a Christian above all else, a sinner that is saved by Jesus. He takes pride in his family and friends! Also a former Professional Baseball Player and College Basketball Player. After his sports career he went on to open his own gym. In 2021, he was a contestant on the Bachelorette and was thrown into the social media world. Mike uses his social media to talk about Jesus, family, travel and fitness. 

This month, we’re diving deep into passion—What are you so passionate about that you are willing to suffer for and through?—and this week we are discussing: The Dark Side of Finding Your Purpose.

Heather shares about the concept of "faith" in a new light, based on an excerpt from her book, emphasizing that faith is not about having all the right answers, but trusting in something greater.

Join host Heather Thompson Day and submission specialist Haley as they explore the challenges and obstacles that arise when finding your purpose. 

In Day in the Bible, Heather concludes by reflecting on the story of Joseph from Genesis 45, exploring how our true purpose may not be tied to achievements or positions, but to the relationships and unity we build along the way.
