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,
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.

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. It's a rich, hope-filled discussion that reminds us that no matter how long the waiting lasts, God is always working behind the scenes, and He never leaves us where we are.

1KHO 867: Every Baby Makes You a New Mother | Beth Barbeau, Who Delivers Your Baby?
The person who delivers your baby can shape far more than what happens on the day your baby is born. Beth Barbeau is back for her ninth conversation on the podcast, and this time I’m finally telling the story of my first home birth after two C-sections and what that experience taught me about my body, motherhood, and the kind of care women need before, during, and after birth. We talk about the differences between OBs, midwives, and doulas, why the relationship with your provider matters so much, what I wish I had understood about postpartum recovery, and why every baby makes you a new mother, whether it’s your first or your seventh. Beth also has an incredibly helpful FREE guide, Who Delivers Your Baby?, that walks through your options and gives you the information I wish I’d had when I was starting out.

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.
