1KHO 630: No One Hands You a Rule Book for Belonging | Leland Lucky Vittert, Born Lucky
In this unforgettable conversation, NewsNation anchor and instant New York Times bestselling author Leland “Lucky” Vittert pulls back the curtain on a childhood that included late speech, crushing loneliness, and a school world that often met neurodivergence with cruelty instead of care. But Born Lucky isn’t an autism “how-to.” It’s a father-son love story about what changes when one adult refuses to give up. Lucky shares how his dad chose a radical path: not removing adversity, but walking him through it—teaching character, work ethic, and the kind of social “tools” that slowly turn isolation into connection. The result is deep hope and a reminder that kids aren’t doomed by their hardest circumstances. Ginny and Lucky also dig into the practical magic of a hands-on childhood: flying lessons at eight, rowing, scuba diving, Michigan summers by Lake Michigan that all provided real risks, real effort, real confidence earned. Those experiences didn’t just fill time; they built transferable skills and a resilience that later carried Lucky through war-zone reporting and prime-time journalism. Along the way, you’ll hear about the quiet heroes like Mr. Mick whose belief became a lifeline. If you’ve ever worried your child won’t find their place or wondered if you’re doing enough this episode will steady you, strengthen you, and send you back outside with fresh courage.

1KHO 629: Good Enough Is Both Good and Enough | Niro Feliciano, All is Calm-ish
The holidays promise magic but deliver a lengthy to-do list the length as well. In this conversation, cognitive psychotherapist and TODAY Show contributor Niro Feliciano helps us name the real culprit behind our December depletion: comparison culture, commercial pressure, and the quiet belief that we’re failing if we’re not doing everything. Drawing from her 31-day guide All Is Calmish, Niro gives a therapist-in-your-pocket reset for the season. She guides listeners through micro-moments of wellness that actually work when life is full: morning light, a sleep goal, short walks, friendship as medicine, and breathing tools so practical even Navy SEALs use them. But this episode goes deeper than hacks. It’s about reclaiming joy from the performance of joy. Niro walks us through future-saving ways to handle family drama, why gifts can be a love-language landmine, and how simple strategies like shared wish lists and experience gifts restore connection. She speaks tenderly to the grieving, offering permission to do holidays differently, and reminds us that what kids remember isn’t the haul—it’s the presence. The kind that grows when screens go away, expectations loosen, and we choose the sledding hill over the spotless kitchen. This is the episode for anyone who wants a calmer holiday and a better life the other eleven months, too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

1KHO 628: More Often Than Not, People Don’t Know Their Values | Robert Glazer, The Compass Within
Most of us are living with an internal compass we never learned to read. In this riveting conversation, bestselling author Robert Glazer reveals why so many capable, well-intentioned adults feel misaligned, exhausted, or confused. It is because they are making the biggest decisions of life (work, partnership, community) without ever naming the values that drive them. Robert explains why only 1–2% of people can clearly articulate their core values, how misalignment shows up as that “electric fence” jolt we all recognize, and why understanding your values can save decades of frustration. Through stories, research, parenting insights, and practical tools, Robert opens a path toward clarity that is both freeing and transformative. Together, Ginny and Robert explore how core values shape everything. You’ll learn how to identify your own values, how to help your children build theirs, and how to make decisions that align with who you truly are. If you’ve ever wondered why certain environments drain you, why certain relationships feel “off,” or why emotional resilience seems harder than it should be, this episode offers a lens that will change how you see your life.

1KHO 627: Children Are a Reward Not a Regret| Abbie Halberstadt, You Bet Your Stretch Marks
In her second visit to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, bestselling author and mama of ten Abbie Halberstadt (M Is for Mama, Hard Is Not the Same Thing as Bad, You Bet Your Stretch Marks) sits down with Ginny to lovingly but firmly push back against a culture that treats children as an interruption instead of a reward. Abbie shares what it was like to have 10 children in 14 years—including two sets of twins—while watching a world where nearly half of young adults now say they’re unlikely to ever have kids. Together, Ginny and Abbie explore why our obsession with control, comfort, and “having it all” is leaving so many women anxious, lonely, and afraid of the very thing that would grow them: motherhood. They talk candidly about stretch marks on bodies and souls, the lie that we must “wait five years” for a reward Scripture calls good, and how God often meets us with daily bread right after we step out in faith. This conversation is packed with stories that will stay with you: banjos and baptisms, European travel with ten kids, postpartum rage turned into a “gentleness challenge,” and miracle-level provision that arrives just in time. If you’re a tired mom, a young woman wondering about children, or a parent raising daughters in an seemingly child-averse age, this episode will help you see your body, your story, and your kids as eternal investments, not liabilities.

1KHO 626: Our Children Are Being Medicated for Being Tired | Kalli Halle, Toothpillow
What if the behavior problems you’re seeing in your child are really exhaustion from a tiny jaw and a blocked airway? In this eye-opening conversation, host Ginny Yurich welcomes back one of her all-time favorite guests, airway-focused dentist Dr. Kalli Halle, to explain why so many kids are snoring, teeth grinding, bedwetting, and struggling with anxiety, ADHD- and ODD-like symptoms because they can’t breathe well and they sleep properly. Drawing on thousands of cases, Dr. Halle shows how mouth breathing, dark circles, restless sleep, and even “annoying” chewing habits are red flags for sleep-disordered breathing. Together, Ginny and Dr. Halle reframe orthodontics from a cosmetic extra to a critical, whole-body intervention that can change a child’s health, learning, and mood for life. You’ll also hear about Tooth Pillow, the innovative, mostly-nighttime appliance and virtual myofunctional therapy platform that’s making early, airway-focused care accessible to families everywhere. Listeners can learn more and get started at toothpillow.com—and there’s a special 1000 Hours Outside listener deal: through November 27, 2025, use code 1000 Hours in the “Who can we thank for referring you?” field to receive a free Tooth Pillow consultation (a $50 value) plus $250 off your treatment. After that date, the same code still gives you $25 off the consultation and $100 off treatment. If your child snores, grinds their teeth, wets the bed, battles anxiety, or can’t focus (or if you’re an exhausted adult wondering about sleep apnea) this may be the episode that finally connects the dots.

Acerca de The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.
