EP254: How to Reach 1000 Hours Outside (Winter Launch Ideas) with Ginny Yurich

Back for her third appearance on the Minimalist Moms podcast is creator of 1000 Hours Outside, Ginny Yurich. Ginny believes that the premise of spending 1000 Hours Outside each year is simple (with a profound impact) but it’s easy to feel ‘stuck’ or unmotivated, so today Ginny is here to offer us prompts and ideas for how to reach one thousand hours - even getting ourselves outside during the cold, winter months.  This episode is full of seasonal activity prompts to help motivate you on those days where you need a little boost! No matter where you live I’m confident you’ll find this episode a worthwhile listen as you make getting outdoors a priority this year!
