1KHO 876: The Freedom Of Trying Less Hard | Sally Llyod-Jones, Jesus Storybook Bible
Twenty years after the release of The Jesus Storybook Bible, Sally Lloyd-Jones joins Ginny for a heartfelt conversation about the unexpected journey behind one of the most beloved children's Bibles ever written, and why the way we tell children about God matters more than we often realize. Sally shares the personal experiences that shaped her writing, from growing up with an image of a demanding God to discovering the overwhelming kindness and love at the heart of the gospel. Together, they explore why stories have the power to reach children (and adults) in ways that lessons never can, how wonder and imagination nurture lifelong faith, and why simplifying truth is one of the hardest—and most important—tasks of a writer. The conversation also looks ahead to the upcoming 20th anniversary Jesus Storybook Bible tour, the creative process behind Sally's books, the importance of preserving childhood in an age of screens, and why reading great stories aloud continues to shape hearts across generations. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, educator, writer, or simply someone longing to rediscover childlike wonder, this episode is a beautiful reminder that God's story has always been a story of grace, and that the best stories don't just teach us, they change us.

1KHO 875: Feelings Are Welcome Anytime | Joy Stephenson-Laws, Secrets That Sparkle, Secrets That Sting
When we teach children to trust their feelings, we give them one of the most powerful tools they'll ever have for staying safe. In this important conversation, Ginny sits down with attorney, child wellness advocate, and author Joy Stevenson-Laws to explore why feelings—not rules—are often a child's first line of defense. Inspired by her own family's experience, Joy explains how children process the world through emotions long before they can fully understand logic, and why validating those feelings can create the trust children need to speak up when something doesn't feel right. Together they discuss Joy's new picture book, Secrets That Sparkle and Secrets That Sting, a beautifully written resource that helps families distinguish between joyful, harmless secrets and unsafe secrets that should always be shared with a trusted adult. They also explore practical ways parents can foster meaningful conversations, help children recognize what their bodies are telling them, and create homes where every feeling is welcomed without shame or dismissal. This episode is an encouraging reminder that emotional awareness isn't about raising fearful children—it's about raising confident, connected kids who know their voices matter. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, teacher, or caregiver, you'll come away with practical tools to strengthen trust, deepen communication, and help children develop the lifelong skill of listening to their intuition.

1KHO 874: We Can Cry Or We Can Try | Victoria Arlen, The View Is Worth It
What happens after the miracle? Paralympic gold medalist, ESPN broadcaster, Dancing with the Stars finalist, and bestselling author Victoria Arlen joins Ginny Yurich for one of the most honest conversations she's ever had about life after survival. Victoria shares the unimaginable story of spending four years trapped inside her own body with two rare neurological conditions before relearning how to walk, swim, and ultimately compete on the world stage. But this conversation goes beyond the comeback story. Victoria opens up about the hidden cost of trauma, the pressure of being called an inspiration, the mental health struggles that followed her incredible achievements, and why writing her new book, The View Is Worth It, became so important. Together, Ginny and Victoria explore forgiveness, faith, burnout, learning to rest, and how healing often begins long after everyone else thinks you're "better." Victoria also reflects on the profound role her mother played throughout her journey, how childhood memories of Lake Winnipesaukee became a lifeline during years of being locked inside her body, and why the outdoors can provide hope that lasts a lifetime. This is a moving conversation about resilience, purpose, and discovering that sometimes the greatest victory isn't overcoming adversity, it's learning to simply be present and embrace the beauty that's been there all along.

1KHO 873: The Trips That Become Family Lore | Grace Ly and Marty Ohlaut, Tent for Seven
Some of the best family memories start with things going completely off the rails. Father-daughter duo Marty Ohlhaut and Grace Ly join Ginny Yurich to tell the hilarious, harrowing, and surprisingly moving story behind Tent for Seven, their memoir about a family camping trip filled with lost hiking boots, packed campgrounds, a washed-out road, a terrifying injury, two knocked-out teeth, bears, and strangers who seemed to show up at exactly the right moment. Somehow, the trip that went so spectacularly wrong became part of what held their family together. This conversation is a reminder that we don’t need perfect vacations or elaborate plans to give our kids a childhood they’ll remember. Sometimes we just need to go, stay open to the adventure, and trust that even the mishaps may someday become the stories we love telling most.

1KHO 872: What If There Was An Easier Way To Raise Children? | Simone Davies, Montessori
What if raising capable, confident children could feel less like a constant power struggle, and more like a partnership? In this episode, Ginny welcomes Simone Davies, Montessori educator and co-author of The Montessori Baby, The Montessori Toddler, and The Montessori Child, for the podcast’s first-ever conversation about Montessori parenting. Simone explains how Montessori principles can be used at home to help children grow in independence, responsibility, curiosity, and confidence. She shares why parents are meant to be guides rather than bosses or servants, how a thoughtfully prepared environment can reduce nagging and conflict, and why slowing down gives children the time they need to explore, practice, solve problems, and develop at their own pace. They also explore the four major stages of childhood, from birth through age 24, including the often-overlooked stability and enormous intellectual capacity of children ages six to twelve. Simone offers practical ideas for following a child’s interests, involving them in real family life, supporting hands-on learning, and preparing them for the gradual independence of adolescence and young adulthood. This encouraging conversation is a reminder that children are far more capable than we often assume, and that parenting can become more peaceful when we learn to observe, trust, guide, and let go.

1KHO 871: Children Shouldn’t Have To Wait To Move Their Bodies | Mike Huber, Embracing Rough-and-Tumble Play
Movement isn't a distraction from learning—it's one of the ways children learn best. In this conversation, Ginny sits down with educator and author Mike Huber to explore why rough-and-tumble—or "whole body"—play is one of childhood's most misunderstood and essential experiences. Drawing from decades of classroom experience and research, Mike explains how movement helps children develop self-regulation, social awareness, empathy, confidence, and even the ability to focus and learn. Together, they unpack the difference between healthy risk and hidden hazards, why today's children often lack meaningful agency over their own movement, and how physical play teaches kids to read nonverbal cues, build trust, assess risk, and strengthen friendships. They also discuss why fidgeting and movement are often signs that the brain is trying to regain focus—not evidence that a child isn't paying attention. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or caregiver, this episode offers a compelling case for embracing movement instead of suppressing it—and practical encouragement for raising children who are confident, capable, and deeply connected to both their bodies and the world around them.

1KHO 870: The Best Things In My Life Happen At A Slow Speed | Megan Hyatt Miller, Win At Work Succeed At Life
In a culture that celebrates hustle and constant productivity, is it actually possible to succeed at work without sacrificing the rest of your life? In this episode, Ginny sits down with Megan Hyatt Miller - CEO, author, speaker, and host of The Double Win Podcast, to explore why overwork has become the norm and what it looks like to build a life where both your career and your family can thrive. Megan shares her personal journey from stay-at-home mom to business leader, explaining how raising children with significant needs forced her to rethink traditional ideas about success, productivity, and balance. Together, she and Ginny discuss practical strategies for setting healthy boundaries, finding meaning beyond work, embracing rest as a performance advantage, and intentionally cultivating the parts of life that truly matter. The conversation also explores the surprising value of gardening, beekeeping, time in nature, entrepreneurship, raising capable children, overcoming fear, and why our best ideas often come when we slow down instead of speeding up. Whether you're building a business, balancing work and family, or simply longing for a more intentional life, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and refreshing encouragement.

In this heartfelt conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with beloved Bible teacher Anne Graham Lotz (daughter of Billy Graham) and her daughter, Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright, to explore the timeless story of Joseph through their new book, God Won't Leave You There.

From devastating setbacks to remarkable redemption, Anne and Rachel-Ruth share deeply personal stories of cancer, heart attacks, and family trials, revealing how God remained faithful in their darkest moments. They discuss the importance of maintaining a strong work ethic, serving others even while suffering, choosing forgiveness over bitterness, and embracing the character God builds during seasons we would never choose for ourselves. The conversation also offers practical encouragement for parents, touching on favoritism, speaking blessings over our children, and creating a family legacy rooted in faith.

The person who delivers your baby can shape far more than what happens on the day your baby is born.

1KHO 866: No One Wants To Grow Up To Be An Addict | Jessica Lahey, The Gift of Failure
What if one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the opportunity to struggle? Bestselling author Jessica Lahey joins Ginny for a powerful conversation about two of the biggest challenges facing families today: raising capable, independent kids and protecting them from a culture of addiction. Drawing from her books The Gift of Failure and The Addiction Inoculation, Jessica explains why our instinct to protect children from discomfort can unintentionally rob them of confidence, resilience, and the ability to solve problems on their own. They discuss why kids need real responsibility, how unstructured play and outdoor adventures build self-efficacy, and why allowing children to experience manageable failure is one of the most loving things a parent can do. Jessica also shares evidence-based research on substance use prevention, including why delaying alcohol and drug use matters, how clear family expectations reduce risk, and why connection—not control—is one of the strongest protective factors we can offer our children. From helicopter parenting and grade portals to dopamine, executive function, anxiety, and the importance of letting kids figure things out for themselves, this conversation is full of practical wisdom and encouragement for every parent navigating the teenage years—and the years leading up to them. If you've ever wondered whether you're helping too much, or how to raise children who are prepared for real life, this episode will challenge and inspire you.

1KHO 859: The Duty of Being Happy | Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project
Most of us assume we'll appreciate life more someday. Gretchen Rubin makes the case that "someday" starts with the next choice we make. In her second visit to the podcast, we talk about why happiness is less about getting everything you've ever wanted and more about noticing what's already good, letting go of the little things that steal your joy, finding your people, and making room for more play, more gratitude, and more delight. I left this conversation wanting to pay better attention to my own life, and I think you will too. Listen in, then tell me which idea you're going to try first.

1KHO 858: A Vision for What Your Homeschool Could Be | Jennifer Pepito, The Inspired Homeschool
There is so much more possible for your children than you've been led to believe. In her fourth visit to the podcast, bestselling author Jennifer Pepito shares why homeschooling isn't about replicating school at home. Instead, it's about creating an environment where curiosity, character, creativity, and confidence can flourish. Drawing from the stories of Leonardo da Vinci, Booker T. Washington, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Blaise Pascal, and other remarkable people who learned outside traditional classrooms, Jennifer offers a hopeful vision that replaces fear with freedom. If you've ever wondered whether your own mistakes, limitations, or lack of experience disqualify you from giving your children an extraordinary education, this conversation is the encouragement you've been waiting for.

1KHO 857: Being Human Is the Ultimate Competitive Advantage | Dr. Dana Suskind, Human-Raised
Artificial intelligence is changing faster than any of us can keep up but this conversation will leave you feeling more hopeful, not more afraid. Dr. Dana Suskind explains why the future doesn't belong to the child who can outperform a machine, but to the one who learns empathy, curiosity, resilience, creativity, and connection through real life. From playground conflicts to bedtime conversations, she makes a compelling case that the ordinary moments of childhood are preparing our kids for an extraordinary future. This episode is a powerful reminder that your presence matters more than perfection and that raising deeply human children may be the greatest gift we can give them. Listen in, then grab Dr. Suskind's new book, Human Raised, and join us in protecting what makes childhood irreplaceable. Connect with Dr. Suskind here A huge thank you to our sponsors!
