Summary

This podcast is part of the Clear Intentions series of the show.

In this first episode of 'Clear Intentions’ (formerly the Minimalist Moms podcast) I reconnect with friend, Ginny Yurich - the founder of 1000 Hours Outside. In this conversation we cover how she juggles multiple roles as a homeschooling mom, author, and outdoor advocate. What does she outsource? If anything? I had to know! And, of course, I couldn’t let Ginny go without discussing ways to spend our time outdoors - specifically she discusses encouragement for teenagers, tired moms and for those living in colder environments.

place to start. That's why I've been raving about the company needed. I wish I'd had needed

when I was in that chapter. Their starter plan is a total game changer, a comprehensive prenatal

multi, plus the high quality omega-3 designed to meet

the real nutritional demands of pregnancy and beyond. It's not the bare minimum stuff that most

prenatals offer. This is optimal evidence-based nourishment that actually supports mom and baby.

Trusted by over 6,000 women's health practitioners from midwives to obese, they're raising the bar for women's

wellness. And personally, because I'm out of the prenatal and postpartum, I love their women's

omega-3, collagen, and stress support. They have an entire section for women's health supplements

on their website. So if you've been looking for a supplement that checks all the boxes,

changed our life or the things that have worked

for us. The average kid is only outside for four to seven minutes a day and on screens for four to

1:16.4

seven hours. We grew and we did something in a world that's inundated with screens and we made that

1:22.4

choice and it should all be celebrated. I always say if we can live fully today, that's what prepares us for

1:27.8

tomorrow. We're in some ways hanging by a thread and in other ways we have the fullest life ever

1:32.9

and it's amazing. If you go out with your kids and they skip down the path, skip down the path

with them. You know, if you go out and they're really interested in, you know, the caterpillar that

you find, then be interested in that caterpillar with them. I regretted a lot of things in my life. But how can it be that simply going outside? That's it. That's all you did. You said I'm going to go. But you never regret that. That's really powerful. In this first episode of Clear Intentions, formerly the Minimalist Mom's podcast, I reconnect with friend
