1KHO 854: The Lost Art of Feeding Ourselves | Diane Devereaux, The Canning Diva Jul 11, 2026

Show notes

There was a time when almost everyone knew how to grow food, preserve it, and fill a pantry that could carry a family through every season. Somewhere along the way, many of us lost those skills and we also lost the confidence that comes from knowing how to care for ourselves and the people we love. In this conversation, food preservation expert Diane Devereaux shares how to bring those traditions back. You'll learn how to eat better, living more intentionally, and passing practical wisdom to the next generation. We talk about gardening, canning, freeze drying, seasonal eating, food security, preserving water, caring for pets, and why a single jar of homemade strawberry jam can make the middle of winter feel like pure joy. This episode will leave you inspired to start wherever you are.

Show notes

Your body remembers long before you ever learned the words to explain what you were feeling. In this conversation, licensed professional counselor and author AC Seiple shares why so many of us mistake constant stress for normal life. We talk about parts of AC's story where she moved constantly as a child, she walked on two broken feet as a adult without realizing they were broken. We discuss what happens inside us after frightening experiences and why time outdoors is one of the best places to begin finding our footing again.

1KHO 852: Parenting Is Supposed to Be Fun | Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, Post-Traumatic Parenting Jul 09, 2026

Show notes

Some of us spend so much time trying not to repeat our childhood that we forget we're allowed to enjoy raising our own kids. In this wonderful conversation, trauma psychologist Dr. Robyn Koslowitz explains how the experiences we carry from childhood can shape the way we parent. We talk about the "trauma of absence," why repair matters more than getting everything right, how screens steal presence, and the blessed truth that simple family game nights can be part of recovery. If you've ever experienced whether your past is affecting your parenting, this episode offers wisdom and guidance. Connect with Dr. Robyn Koslowitz at posttraumaticparenting.com

1KHO 851: The Plan Falling Apart Is a Natural Part of Any Worthwhile Adventure | Paul Rosolie, Junglekeepers Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

In this unforgettable conversation, Paul shares how a dyslexic kid who never fit inside a classroom found his life's work protecting one of the most extraordinary places on Earth. We talk about his parents who believed in him, the Indigenous mentor who taught him to see the jungle with new eyes, the elephants and anacondas that forever reshaped his understanding of the natural world, and why the greatest adventures almost never unfold the way we expect.

Some people spend their lives waiting for the perfect plan. Paul Rosolie walked into the Amazon before he had any plan at all and he is changing the world. This episode is about conservation, courage, education, purpose, and the beautiful truth that the setbacks you think are ruining your story may actually be writing it. You'll leave inspired to look at nature and your own life with renewed hope.

Learn more about Paul and support his work at junglekeepers.org, and explore all of his soul-changing, wonderfully written books Mother of God, Junglekeeper, and The Girl and the Tiger.

1KHO 850: The Imagination Advantage | Daisy Day and Calvin Day Jul 07, 2026

Show notes

Some kids wait for permission to create. Others just start. In this joyful conversation, Ginny sits down with young authors Daisy Day and Calvin Day to talk about writing books, building worlds, starting a kids' writing club, making cardboard pirate ships, turning backyard adventures into stories, and discovering that imagination grows when childhood is full of play. Their excitement is contagious, and their advice is refreshingly simple: sit down, start writing, and don't wait until you're grown up to make something that matters. If you've ever wondered how to raise creative kids or how to protect the kind of childhood that naturally produces them this episode will leave you wanting to hand your child a notebook instead of another screen.

1KHO 849: A More Settled Existence | Dr. Vanessa Lapointe, Discipline Without Damage Jul 06, 2026

Show notes

Every parent wants more peace, but almost nobody tells us where it actually comes from. In this thoughtful conversation with child psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Vanessa LaPointe, we talk about why so many parenting battles begin with an overwhelmed nervous system and how small shifts in the way we respond can change the entire atmosphere of a home. We explore discipline, anxiety, outdoor play, boredom, big emotions, and why children were never meant to grow up under constant pressure. This episode isn't about becoming a perfect parent. It's about becoming a more settled one and giving your children the kind of steady presence they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives.

1KHO 847: AI Can't Feel Love | Jeff Burningham, Last Book Written By a Human Jul 04, 2026

Show notes

Something is changing faster than most of us can keep up with, and this conversation will make you think differently about where we're headed. Entrepreneur, investor, and author Jeff Burningham has spent his life chasing success, only to discover that achievement alone could never satisfy the deepest parts of being human. We talk about why AI isn't just changing technology, it's also forcing us to ask what actually makes life worth living. From the trap of becoming addicted to doing, to raising children in a world of synthetic relationships, to why nature, family, and real human connection matter more than ever, this episode is a reminder that our greatest advantage is our humanity and not our intelligence. AI may be able to answer every question, but it will never know what it feels like to love, grieve, forgive, or hold someone's hand.
