We have had so many guests on this show, talk about how powerful the outdoors can be for kids, especially kids with ADHD or different ways of learning and processing the world. And if you are raising a child with ADHD dyslexia, a language disorder, or really any kind of learning difference, I want to share a podcast that I think you'll really appreciate. It's called Everyone Gets a Juice Box. It's parents just being honest with each other in a really safe, welcoming space about the highs and lows of raising neurodivergent kids. And what I love about it is is how real it is. There was one story about a mom who had this big career, running a major podcast division, and she realized she hadn't been home to see her daughter before bed for weeks. And at the same time, she was starting to notice these little moments, like her daughter freezing up during a simple preschool performance and just having that gut feeling like

something's different here and then all the doubt that comes with that like other people saying she

seems fine well you're sitting here thinking but i'm her parent and i know her this mom eventually

stepped back in and reconnected and created little games together just to help her daughter communicate

better it's such a good reminder that connection doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to be intentional. So if that interests you, go check it out. To listen, search for Everyone Gets a Juice Box. In your podcast app, that's Everyone Gets a Juice Box. Welcome to the 1000 Hours Outside podcast. My name is Ginny Urich, I'm the founder of 1,000 hours outside.

I'm back for the second time as a duo, David Thomas and Sissy Gough.

Welcome.

We are so happy to be with you.

Always, always.

Look at this pile of books that I have of yours plus the kids ones.

I don't even know if you can see it.

I just have been so impacted by the way that you write the compassion in your words, the hope that you bring.

And so I am thrilled beyond thrilled that you have a new book coming out called Capable.

And this is a book about teaching kids and adults, about their strengths,

their skills, and different strategies that they can use to build resilience. Can you give us

the backstory of, I always am curious about why this. Like you have these kids' books that came out

about the Daystar dogs with the Daystar dogs as heroes, you know, and one of them is about

learning to share the spotlight,

a lesson about jealousy.

And this one is about a lesson in self-control.

Happy finds her calm.

So I'm always like, ooh, how do you pick your topics?
