    Ep 212 - Ginny 1000 Hours Outside - Replacing Screen Time with Green Time. Summer 2026 Throwback

    What if all the memories you made as a kid had been replaced by screens? When an aha moment makes you realise that its time to reframe childhood and embrace an analogue life - one that stimulates creativity, imagination and experiences that instil a need to fight for the natural world over technification.   With a biological need for at least 3 hours outside every day...the time to replace screen time with green time is now. Show notes Feeling like she was failing as a mum Breaking the cycle of raising children on full schedules “Kids are supposed to be outside for 4-6 hours a day when the weather is good” - Charlotte Mason Her first good day as a mum was spent outside as part of a challenge in order to make friends. How outdoor play enhances every development for children which gives lifelong benefits Setting our kids up for success simply by spending time outside Busting screen time statistics On average kids are on screens for 7 hours a day but only outside for 7 minutes 1200 hours a year outside creating  rather than on screen  3 hours of outdoor play for kids of all ages  Keeping children balanced Rescheduling early childhood Raising kids who were ruddy, tough, sleeping better Outdoor play enhances childhood developing in every sense = cognitive, sensorial, emotional Laying the groundwork so they keep it up Play that stretches their body and teaches them to trust their bodies and builds endurance, stamina, alertness Filling our life with the important things first and push out the time that's left over for screens It’s never easy to make this your committed approach but it’s worth it Creating rituals that are intentional The benefits of being uncomfortable Why time slows down when you are doing something new and your senses wake up Building identity via time in the outdoors If they don’t love an analogue life, they won’t fight for it Building a foundation in kids that they can resist the tech pull Success is living a fulfilling life that is balanced, connected, maintained ground on values and illusions but grounded and taken day by day If we live well today then tomorrow will take care of itself Clothes for the season: Wonders of wool to enable the kids to play for so much longer Passing down the things = less stuff Imagination over screens Nature is enough - it meets us all at the stage we are at  Start right now and be happy to bloom at your own pace which follows your instinct Trust your kids to create their own path References 1000 hours outside- book, podcast Charlotte Mason - Childhood educator Balanced and barefoot - Angela Hanson Rewilding the urban soul - Claire Dunn The Comfort Crisis - Michael Easter The singularity is near - Ray Curswhile Support the show

    Ep 213 - Sarah Andrews - Huddling by design + doing what it says on the box - Summer Days Throw

    Sarah Andrews has this way of stripping back the noise & replacing hustle with humility. A gentle woman, who describes herself as '90% introvert', she has crated beautiful spaces by considering them her palette to tell stories  & then inviting in a global community of folk to share her special space. The key, she says, to creating spaces that are warm, nurturing and supportive of the community they are designed to hold, is to be sure that “beautiful is not the ‘budget”. “My plan was to teach a few what I knew and then go sailing but it didn't happen like that because what was being taught was so special & it really did what it said on the box” Today the futuresteading pod invites you to open the box and learn ways to create spaces that nurture togetherness. Things we talked about: Hosting masterclass - Sarahs online program The Poetry of Spaces - Sarah Andrews Captains Rest - Sarah's Accommodation Support the show Casual Support - Buy Me A Coffee Regular Support - Patreon Buy the Book - Futuresteading - Live Like tomorrow matters Show Notes How a tumultuous life has lead her to creating spaces that make her feel safe Spaces that make you feel the way you want to feel  & be the best we can Finding your medium to create stories - art, verbal words, design, written words, Walking the line of being a hermit that is alone but not wanting to be alone Understanding her ratio for a happy life - for her its 90% introverted Attracting people together but without the obligation of having to hold them all. “I’d found an internal happiness as a host and wanted to gift that to others”  “Hosting & creating spaces is a science which can be broken down into a process? Frustration with the creative world using words that don't have meaningful measure. Building tools that could be taught to people who don't think they're creative. It’s easy to copy something if you've got a big budget but if you’re creating something that’s creative & individual then the real beauty is uncovered “For many reasons captains rest should not have been a success but when it was I was inundated with people asking me to help them do the same for them” Humility in creating a global network of minded individuals  "I don’t have the energy for it to be all about me so it’s lovely to see a community of people connecting from the comfort of my couch" Every year I just do what I can - which is different every year - there’s no strategy but it feels good & works for me. Enough is not about doing more, having more, seeing more, it’s about how much you can give to the world. Building a meaningful community of people she loves & trusts I’m a three friend type of person - they’ve seen me through every part of my life Being part of a community that is protective of one another & generous Inner huddles & outer huddles Our community is a success because it’s genuine - it’s not a side hustle or a business venture - I’d be doing it anyway. The thing that always links to success is ‘realness’ - when it lights up people’s eyes you know it's true. It’s those who have the bravery to follow that A better way of being a community of people interacting with one another is when we sidestep division.  Being led by kindness - one of the hardest but most rewarding things about being alive.

    Ep 214 Billa - The Woman At The Wild School Shares Her Earth Wisdom. Summer Days Throwbacks 2026

    SHOW SUMMARY Join Billa, co founder of the Wild School, as we navigate back into our custodial selves. Where we use head, hands & heart to rebuild the connective processes that help us become deeply connected people to place & each other. This process requires us to not only think but to really feel, 'It needs to be remembered in the body at a cellular level. “In our bones as women we have generations of wisdom & the sisterhood brings this to life” 'We are designed to live in tribal sized groups & to take care of country but we lack the skills so it's time to unlearn & relearn.' The right environment will trigger the hard wired settings to make us what we are designed to be & the process of relearning how to live together will be more than just building houses & spaces or owning land.  Billa & her husband Chief have been doing this earth connection & village making work their entire lives & she is measuring her experiences against something in her bones.  She is doing this via 5 sacred pathways - these being food as medicine, nature connection, ceremony & ritual, village making & art is medicine. A pedagogy you cannot be schooled on, you need to embody them through experience. The most potent experience of all she says is to have gratitude for the mother. Us two-legged humans form a story - “we are merely the current fruiting mushroom of the ancestral mycelium”. its time to be reminded of this in our modern day story. Things we chatted about Wildschool Gaia University 8 shields movement - Jon Young Tyson Yinkaporta - right story, wrong story Support the Show Casual Support - Buy Me A Coffee Regular Support - Patreon Buy the Book - Futuresteading - Live Like tomorrow matters Show Notes: Moving towards a life that moves in circles rather than being square & rigid - finding the sisterhood, herbal medicine, permaculture. Women need women but we specifically need sisterhood where we share wisdom & DO together - craft, learn, share,  DIY-ing her own home at 24 Intentional communities - are they a study in failure or can we really do this? Permaculture has been foundational alongside womens wisdom Being alive ‘in village’ Finding our way back through the cultural repair journey via the 8 shields movement & the 64 cultural elements Connecting to country to continue as a species Reconciling our history is foundational to rebuilding culture You can’t ground community without the land but you can’t just buy land & assume the community will come - the truth of the land needs to be reconciled.  What we eat is our relationship to the earth mother - it plugs us back in Rebuilding deep connection requires all five sacred pathways to be present Are we existing in captivity Decolonising our body through food  Building next level connection with our ancestors  We’ve stopped knowing our bodies What else comes with your DNA? More than height or eyes colour The humble shall inherit the earth Check in with what your ‘baseline’ is - very high in western culture Taking care of the baseline & being able to appreciate it is freeing because you can let go of the noisy material things which takes up all the space & consume you. White privilege blinkers - question what was taken in order for us to have this Support the show
