  • Overall amazing podcast

    I love the passion Ginny has for this movement. I’ve listened for a couple years and my 2 boys are on their 2nd year of achieving their thousand hours. I am a family medicine PA and regularly prescribe outdoor time and less screen time to my younger patients who struggle so much with mental health. Although we don’t choose to homeschool, it sounds like it’s the best option for some families and Ginny is very respectful of her guests’ opinions when they clearly differ from hers during her intervi... more

  • Love the podcast not always the politics

    I have to agree with a couple others on the Sam Sorbo episode. Yes, I share some of her opinions but she is very judgmental. Ginny, you are great. We are the same generation and grew up in Michigan. We share many of the same values. But I do find it difficult when you give avid Trump supporters a venue. I know you avoid politics but this woman was dipping her toe in too much. I choose home education and am fortunate to have that choice. Not everyone does. Also, being compassionate and empathetic... more

  • A Podcast Like Visiting an Inspiring Friend

    Ginny, thank you for all of the effort and preparation it must take to put together such densely relevant material for these episodes. As a homeschooling mom of 4 with an education background- I would LOVE to read every book myself, but often times the “real” parts of life just have to come before I can sit and turn my own pages. Your podcast keeps me surrounded by the most compelling, inspiring, faith based real life authors and ideas while I do all of those important home tasks and keep me fue... more

  • MAHA Nightmare

    First episode I listened to is “Younger Generations Are Aging Faster” and the man she had on to speak about health is a spiritual, non-medicine nut, who I’d wager to say probably isn’t a real doctor. If you believe that seaweed drinks and a magical man in the sky will heal all, this podcast is for you. If you believe that doctors, nurses, medical advancements, and better health education & accessibility will heal people, keep looking – this podcast isn’t for you.

  • Life changing!

    I finally started listening to this podcast about 6 months ago or so, and I am so glad I did!! My family and I love being outside and spending time in nature, so I had downloaded the 1000 hours outside app a while ago. I kept getting emails about podcasts because of this and used to just delete them, then one stood out and I listened. Then I kept listening, and I really connected with all of Ginny’s enthusiasm and energy. She interviews some very remarkable guests and each conversation she has l... more

1KHO 914: The More We Pursue Happiness, The More We Suffer | Dr. Russ Harris, The Happiness Trap

A personal struggle with depression and high expectations led me to explore ACT, which emphasizes accepting what can't be controlled and committing to actions that improve life.
1KHO 911: What Is Technology Costing Your Family? | Ben Peterson, When Intelligence Isn't Human
Q: What practical steps can families take to reduce dependence on AI and protect mental health?
Take breaks from social media, cultivate offline activities, engage in meaningful family conversations, use educational tools selectively (e.g., Simply Piano, IXL) that support real-world skills, and leverage faith-based or community resources to reinforce values.
1KHO 911: What Is Technology Costing Your Family? | Ben Peterson, When Intelligence Isn't Human
Q: What should parents understand about the 'enemy' of AI and how to navigate it with their families?
The guest urges a view that AI and social media are tools with potential harms; the emphasis is on awareness, setting boundaries, developing emotional intelligence, fostering real-world connections, and using guided resources like a Parent's Guide to AI to facilitate discussions with teens.
1KHO 911: What Is Technology Costing Your Family? | Ben Peterson, When Intelligence Isn't Human
Q: Can you talk about the draw of using AI as a replacement for a parent's role and the long-term consequences?
Ben Peterson discusses how AI can imitate aspects of parental guidance and emotional support, but warns that relying on AI instead of real humans can undermine authentic relationships, parenting, and faith-based guidance, leading to long-term emotional and developmental consequences.
1KHO 895: One Afternoon In Nature Will Hold Adventures You'll Never Forget | Peter Schriemer, Beyond Your Doorstep
Q: Okay, so I would love if you would kick us off with your story here that you have been interested in nature and filming and creating and hosting all the way back to age 17.
Peter describes growing up homeschooled, his early work with a production company, and how those experiences led him to become a wildlife filmmaker and host shows like Critter Quest, ultimately shaping his focus on accessible wildlife and education for families.
