Summary

In this raw and hope-filled episode, Ginny sits down with Lindsey Prell, a working mom who was quietly unraveling under the weight of modern motherhood—until everything changed. Lindsey opens up about her darkest season, when she and her husband were one casual conversation away from divorce. Through a surprising series of events—including a life-giving women’s group, an unexpected job loss, and discovering the 1000 Hours Outside movement—Lindsey began a journey of healing, presence, and unexpected joy. What she found wasn’t a perfect life—but a full one. Together, Ginny and Lindsey explore the ways outdoor time can anchor us in reality, help us sift through the noise of comparison, and remind us what matters most. This is a deeply honest conversation about mindset, marriage, working motherhood, homeschooling with help, and learning to appreciate the life you’ve been given. If you’ve been chasing someone else’s dream—or just wondering how to reclaim delight in your day—this conversation will feel like an exhale. ** 🎧 Listen to all episodes: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/podcast 📲 Follow Lindsey Prell: https://www.instagram.com/ordinaryonpurpose 📘 Get the new book Homeschooling: You’re Doing It Right Just by Doing It: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/homeschoolbook 📙 Read Until the Streetlights Come On: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/streetlights 🌿 Start your 1000 Hours Outside journey: https://www.1000hoursoutside.com 📣 Share the episode and tag @1000hoursoutside A huge thank you to our sponsors!
