About this episode

Ginny Yurich talks with meteorologist Chris Bruin about experiencing weather as a family and fostering curiosity in children.

This one will change the way you see every forecast, every storm, every ordinary day outside. On this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich talks with meteorologist Chris Bruin about why weather isn’t something to endure. Instead, it’s something to experience, learn from, and even lean into as a family. From chasing blizzards and hurricanes to noticing clouds with your kids out the window, Chris makes a compelling case that curiosity about the sky can pull us back into wonder and connection. They talk about raising resilient kids, taking young children on real adventures, and how the elements themselves (wind, storms, shade) can shape who we become if we let them.
