Licensed therapist Eli Harwood joins The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast with host Ginny Yurich for a deeply helpful conversation about attachment, emotional maturity, and the hidden ways our own unresolved feelings shape the atmosphere our kids grow up in.

This episode is honest, practical, and full of hope for parents who want to become a safer, steadier place for their kids without pretending they have it all figured out.

In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast with host Ginny Yurich, Jeff Dillon and Ty Dannenbring talk about what happens when you stop waiting for community and just start right where you live. It doesn't need to be big, impressive things. Pancakes in the driveway or popsicles from a cooler can go a long way in helping establish and build close relationships. Sitting out front instead of disappearing into the backyard works, too. They talk about how small shifts turn into real relationships, the kind people are missing more than we realize.

Ginny Yurich sits down with Rachel Swanson on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast for a conversation that feels both grounding and hopeful for anyone thinking about fertility or walking through it. Drawing from her work in functional medicine, Rachel shares what she’s seeing as more women struggle to get pregnant and what can help. They talk through the everyday things that matter more than we think: food, light, time outside, stress, and the hidden environmental factors that quietly affect the body. This isn’t about doing everything perfectly or adding more pressure. It’s about understanding how the body works and making small, doable changes that support overall health—which, in turn, supports fertility.
