    1KHO 811: What Really Matters in the End | Jane Magnusson, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning
    May 29 2026
    Jane Magnusson joins Ginny Yurich for a conversation about the unexpected freedom that comes from letting go. After her mother Margareta Magnusson wrote The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning at age 87, the idea spread across the world because it touched something people rarely talk about: what we leave behind for the people we love. Jane shares stories about her mother’s humor, honesty, and determination not to leave her children with garages full of stuff, difficult decisions, and unnecessary stress after she was gone. They talk about clutter, aging, family relationships, childhood in Sweden, running barefoot through gardens and lakeside summers, and why living with less can actually make life feel fuller. This episode feels like sitting across the table from someone wise enough to remind you that time is precious and people matter more than possessions.

    1KHO 810: The Missing Roadmap to Adulthood | JP Pokluda, Welcome to Adulting
    May 28 2026
    Ginny Yurich sits down with pastor, author, and podcast host JP Pokluda for one of the most practical and unexpectedly hopeful conversations parents of teens and young adults need to hear right now. JP shares the story of graduating college completely lost, chasing relationships, parties, and approval, only to discover that real fulfillment looked nothing like what culture promised. Together they talk about modern dating, loneliness, work, anxiety, social media, friendships, marriage, purpose, faith, and why so many young adults feel overwhelmed by adulthood itself. JP talks honestly about the confusion so many young adults feel after high school and college, why modern dating is exhausting, why work matters more than people think, and what actually helps people build a meaningful life. From “follow your passion” culture to hookup culture to the pressure of figuring out your entire future at eighteen, JP offers a grounded, deeply refreshing perspective.

    1KHO 809: The Weight of Everyone Else’s Problems | Leah Marone, Serial Fixer
    May 27 2026
    Leah Marone joins Ginny Yurich for a conversation that will hit hard for anyone who feels responsible for everyone else’s emotions, problems, schedules, or happiness. They talk about the hidden exhaustion of being the “strong one,” why so many empathetic people end up burned out and resentful, and how constantly fixing things for others can quietly rob both you and your children of growth, resilience, and connection. Leah explains the difference between supporting and solving, why pauses matter more than we think, and how even small habits like checking your phone every spare second can keep you disconnected from yourself. This episode is full of practical wisdom for parents, helpers, high achievers, and anyone who is tired of carrying more than they were meant to carry.
