Pelvic floor problems are one of those “quiet” issues that can sneak into your life doing things like making hikes stressful, camping complicated, workouts frustrating, sleeping difficult, and even everyday mom life painful or exhausting. In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with clinical exercise physiologist and researcher Jenn Lormand, who shares her own intense story of birth trauma, prolapse, and being told she’d likely need repeat surgeries. But then she discovered a non-invasive path that helped her heal and build the program that’s helped so many other women, too. You’ll learn what prolapse actually is, why Kegels can sometimes make things worse, how hormone changes can change pelvic tissue, and simple “start today” ways to be kinder to your pelvic floor like better bathroom mechanics, reducing chronic strain, and thinking preventatively long before symptoms show up.

In this conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with couples therapist Dr. Tracy Dalgleish to talk about relationship pain that so parents carry but rarely say out loud like feeling duped after the honeymoon stage, drowning in the mental load, and watching resentment grow when needs go unseen and unacknowledged.

Tracy breaks down the overfunctioning–underfunctioning cycle, why “I cant do anything right” is a shutdown that blocks connection, and how repair (not perfection) is what keeps love alive especially when screens, stress, and exhaustion turn partners into roommates living parallel lives. You’ll walk away with language you can use tonight, boundaries that actually work, simple acknowledgement habits, and a clearer picture of what’s in your control to shift the dynamic. This episode also includes a powerful glimpse into postpartum vulnerability and the in-law pressures that can begin to fracture a marriage if you don’t protect your “we.”

In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with Sarah Adams (Mom Uncharted) for a candid, eye-opening conversation about what it costs kids when their lives become content. Together they unpack why children can’t truly consent to a digital footprint, how the “it’s harmless” mindset collapses in the age of AI, and what parents may not realize about the audience, the algorithms, and the long tail of a photo or video that never really disappears. Sarah also gets practical about everyday pressure points, like filming other people’s kids, school and classroom privacy, and the way online trends are pulling childhood into an adult world too soon. If you’ve ever felt that quiet nudge to pull back, this episode offers language, clarity, and a better direction: a new normal that protects kids, preserves private spaces, and keeps real life bigger than the feed.

Screens don’t just steal attention, they quietly change how your eyes work. In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with optometrist and dry-eye specialist Dr. Pam Theriot to explain what’s really happening when we stare close-up for hours: we blink less, the oil layer of our tears can thicken and clog, and over time that can snowball into dry eye disease, even in younger adults. Dr. Pam shares a simple at-home “how long can you go without blinking” self-check, practical prevention habits, and easy tweaks for kids, readers, gamers, and anyone glued to a computer all day. It’s one of those conversations that makes you want to walk away, look at the horizon, and start taking eye care as seriously as brushing your teeth.

In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with Bethany Mandel—writer, mom of six, and co-host of The Mom Wars—for a conversation that feels like a deep exhale. Together they talk about what actually helps families thrive: lowering the pressure, refusing the constant comparison game, and choosing a version of motherhood that’s grounded, sane, and full of joy. Bethany shares how a big family can strengthen a marriage, how kids grow when we stop over-managing every moment, and why homeschooling (and life in general) can be less about doing more and more about letting go in the right places. If you’ve been craving a smarter, kinder take on modern motherhood this one will leave you encouraged.
