    1KHO 805: Homeschooling Is Something Lots of People are Doing | Annette Vaughn, Dear Homeschool Mom
    May 23 2026
    Somewhere between the fear, the questions, the budget concerns, and the overwhelming feeling of “I could never do this,” thousands of ordinary moms are quietly building beautiful lives with their kids at home. In this deeply encouraging conversation, Annette Vaughn shares the story behind Dear Homeschool Mom, a collection of letters from more than 50 homeschool mothers across the country who open up about doubt, sacrifice, socialization, burnout, identity, flexibility, and the surprising joy that keeps them going. Ginny and Annette talk honestly about what homeschooling actually looks like in real life, why the “why” matters so much, and how the sacrifices on paper often become gifts you never could have predicted. This episode feels like sitting across the table from someone who says, “You’re not crazy. You can do this.” Learn more about Annette’s book Dear Homeschool Mom here and the HSLDA Compassion Grant at HSLDA. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    1KHO 804: You Don't Need Addictive Technology | Gabriela Nguyen, Appstinence
    May 22 2026
    Gabriela Nguyen grew up in Silicon Valley, got her first iPod Touch at nine, her first iPhone at thirteen, and eventually realized the very technology that promised connection was slowly becoming the center of gravity of her life. In this fascinating and deeply important conversation, Gabriela explains what it actually feels like to grow up online, from the pressure of maintaining a public image as a teenager to the exhausting social games hidden inside Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, and more. She shares why Gen Z is leading the resistance against addictive technology, why “screen time limits” miss the bigger picture, and how rebuilding a meaningful life starts by slowing down, strengthening real relationships, and returning to a more human pace. This episode will leave parents, teens, and anyone overwhelmed by modern life thinking differently about attention, friendship, and what it means to truly be present.

    1KHO 803: Slow Poison Dressed Up as Convenience | Dr. Sina McCullough, Hands Off My Food
    May 21 2026
    Ginny Yurich sits down with Dr. Sina McCullough for one of the most eye-opening conversations we’ve had on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast. Sina shares how a devastating health collapse led her from a PhD in nutrition to questioning everything she thought she knew about the American food system. Together they unpack why ultra-processed food is so cheap, how the farm bill reshaped the modern grocery store, and what’s really happening with gene-edited foods, pharmaceutical crops, CRISPR technology, and the hidden chemicals most families never even realize they’re consuming. But this episode is not rooted in fear. It’s about remembering that our daily choices still matter, that real food can help the body heal, and that ordinary people have more power than they’ve been led to believe. This conversation will make you look at your pantry, your plate, and your family’s future differently.
