    Artificial intelligence is changing faster than any of us can keep up but this conversation will leave you feeling more hopeful, not more afraid.

This episode is a powerful reminder that your presence matters more than perfection and that raising deeply human children may be the greatest gift we can give them.

    1KHO 854: The Lost Art of Feeding Ourselves | Diane Devereaux, The Canning Diva

    There was a time when almost everyone knew how to grow food, preserve it, and fill a pantry that could carry a family through every season. Somewhere along the way, many of us lost those skills and we also lost the confidence that comes from knowing how to care for ourselves and the people we love. In this conversation, food preservation expert Diane Devereaux shares how to bring those traditions back. You'll learn how to eat better, living more intentionally, and passing practical wisdom to the next generation. We talk about gardening, canning, freeze drying, seasonal eating, food security, preserving water, caring for pets, and why a single jar of homemade strawberry jam can make the middle of winter feel like pure joy. This episode will leave you inspired to start wherever you are. Find Diane's books, courses, and resources at https://canningdiva.com and https://canning.university. A huge thank you to our sponsors!

    1KHO 852: Parenting Is Supposed to Be Fun | Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, Post-Traumatic Parenting

    Some of us spend so much time trying not to repeat our childhood that we forget we're allowed to enjoy raising our own kids. In this wonderful conversation, trauma psychologist Dr. Robyn Koslowitz explains how the experiences we carry from childhood can shape the way we parent. We talk about the "trauma of absence," why repair matters more than getting everything right, how screens steal presence, and the blessed truth that simple family game nights can be part of recovery. If you've ever experienced whether your past is affecting your parenting, this episode offers wisdom and guidance.

    1KHO 851: The Plan Falling Apart Is a Natural Part of Any Worthwhile Adventure | Paul Rosolie, Junglekeepers

    In this unforgettable conversation, Paul shares how a dyslexic kid who never fit inside a classroom found his life's work protecting one of the most extraordinary places on Earth. We talk about his parents who believed in him, the Indigenous mentor who taught him to see the jungle with new eyes, the elephants and anacondas that forever reshaped his understanding of the natural world, and why the greatest adventures almost never unfold the way we expect. Some people spend their lives waiting for the perfect plan. Paul Rosolie walked into the Amazon before he had any plan at all and he is changing the world. This episode is about conservation, courage, education, purpose, and the beautiful truth that the setbacks you think are ruining your story may actually be writing it. You'll leave inspired to look at nature and your own life with renewed hope. Learn more about Paul and support his work at junglekeepers.org, and explore all of his soul-changing, wonderfully written books Mother of God, Junglekeeper, and The Girl and the Tiger.
