The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

To say this podcast has single-handedly changed the way I mother my 7 children, is an understatement. I am extremely selective about what goes in my ears in my “spare” time. Ginny’s interviews are not only delightful to listen to- the enlightening topics, the vast knowledge shared on said topics, the light-hearted way it’s presented and the interviewees themselves- it’s just a treasure! I have ended up purchasing and reading many of the authors books and have loved learning more about parenting and how to do life well. One of the most important jobs I’ve ever had should require some research- and this podcast is it. Thank You Ginny for sharing your gift of gab and bringing all of these great resources to one place!

Lol love your show BUT was that an add for replika?

Ginny is an AMAZING interviewer, incredibly engaging and helpful. I started listening regularly this summer and it has been one of the most influential inputs in my life. The topics and guests Ginny interviews have provided opportunities to challenge my thinking in the most engaging way. I’m compelled to think deeply and evaluate all the layers of my family’s life. I’ve been most challenged to think about the unstated cultural messages I’ve been influenced by or believed were the way things have always been or should be. Our family has made slow, steady and big changes which I am convinced will have an impact on generations to follow in our family. Thank you Ginny and to your family for the sacrifices you have made over the years to keep this podcast going. Do not grow weary in doing good! You will be left wanting more and looking for someone in your circles to discuss this with.

Every time I listen to an episode of 1KHO, I feel freer as a mother than I did before I tuned in. And I absolutely feel the same way about reading Ginny’s books— this whole movement is like a giant, joyful, vibrant permission slip to reject burden after burden that culture seems to insist are necessary parts of motherhood. Things we’re “supposed” to carry, to freak out about, to live in fear of, to feel like failures over… Whenever I “hang out” with Ginny, I chuck another one of those burdensome ideas in the trash and walk away invigorated, encouraged, and excited to keep on building a simple, connected, beautiful, liberated life that my family loves; one that doesn’t hinge on things I cannot control but that embraces the rhythms of nature, the process of human growth, and the adventure of the unknown. Thank you, Ginny!
