  • Contagious Joy and Discovery

    Ginny is always so excited to interview her guests and when someone is so excited about a topic it makes you excited. As a mom I appreciate her diverse perspectives and tools shared to raise happy, healthy kids. I love being outside myself but this podcast goes beyond just being outdoors. This is a must listen podcast, even if you aren’t a parent. I’ve learned so much and been deeply inspired!

  • Thank you!

    I discovered the 1000 Hours Outside concept from a few friends who shared online, right as I became a mother. We first started tracking our hours when my son was 2, and many days this challenge was the only reason I spent the energy it took to wrangle a transition-adverse boy into rain clothes and boots for even just 15 minutes. My son is now almost 5 and the foundation has been set: we spend our days outside. I cannot express how pivotal and life-making this challenge has been, and I can’t wait... more

  • I’m obsessed!

    I don’t know how she does it as a homeschooling mom of 5, but Ginny somehow is reading all these books and hosting and publishing the most educational and fun to listen to podcasts SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK!

    I can’t keep up but the ones I listen to I love and often buy the book.

    THANK YOU for the exposure and overview of topics so relevant and important to raising kids and living well in today’s world!

  • Officially homeschooling

    After many years of consideration, we have officially decided to homeschool our four children. We feel that giving them better rest, slower mornings, more time exploring outside, quality family moments and room to pursue their interests & passions is our best option forward. Navigating the road to this decision hasn’t been easy, yet listening to Ginny and her wonderful podcast & book recommendations has been a breath of hope moving forward; helping light our path ahead. Thank you Ginny for your ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1KHO 857: Being Human Is the Ultimate Competitive Advantage | Dr. Dana Suskind, Human-Raised
Q: What motivated you to write Human Raised and focus on 'being human' in the AI era?
My motivation comes from seeing how technology and AI have the potential to reshape parenting and child development, but also from the belief that human connection, presence, and the nuanced rhythms of care are irreplaceable for developing empathy, curiosity, and resilience in children.
1KHO 852: Parenting Is Supposed to Be Fun | Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, Post-Traumatic Parenting
Q: What role does repair play in parenting according to your framework?
Repair is central; when mistakes happen, acknowledging, apologizing, and making amends strengthens the parent-child relationship and models healthy conflict resolution. It's about showing children that the family can recover from missteps and grow closer through honest, developmentally appropriate conversations.
1KHO 852: Parenting Is Supposed to Be Fun | Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, Post-Traumatic Parenting
Q: Can you talk about the trauma of absence and how it affects parenting later in life?
The trauma of absence includes everything that didn't happen for you—like a parent being there to help with school or normal routines—which can leave lasting gaps. Recognizing these gaps helps parents understand why they might struggle with presence and engagement and how they can actively repair their parenting through attachment, routine, and safe emotional space for their kids.
1KHO 850: The Imagination Advantage | Daisy Day and Calvin Day
Q: What encouragement would you give to a kid who is listening, who's nervous to start writing a book, but really wants to?
Don't be nervous. Start with whatever you want to write, keep going even if it feels boring at times, and remember that you can write private stories first and publish later as you gain confidence.
1KHO 755: Before You Feel Brave | Sadie Robertson Huff, Duck Dynasty
Q: What was the impact of Dancing with the Stars on your life and faith journey?
It was a challenging but formative experience that taught perseverance, coaching, and faith-driven bravery; it showed that stepping into the spotlight can open doors, deepen relationships, and strengthen one's reliance on faith.
