Summary

In this inspiring episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich is joined by author and minimalist mom of five, Julia Ubbenga, to explore how simplifying our homes—and our hearts—can unlock a richer childhood for our kids. Julia shares her powerful story of overcoming postpartum depression, consumer debt, and overwhelm through the practice of minimalism. Her journey began with a single verse, “Be rich in what matters,” and grew into a lifestyle rooted in intentional living and deep family connection. Julia’s practical wisdom will challenge everything you thought you needed to give your kids a “good” life. From navigating baby showers to managing calendar clutter and digital distractions, she offers realistic, grace-filled strategies that empower parents to step off the treadmill of overconsumption. Learn how fewer toys, simpler routines, and less visual noise create space for imagination, calm, and deeper relationships—because kids don’t need more stuff. They need more of you. ** Get your copy of Declutter Your Heart and Your Home here Learn more about the Rich in What Matters community here Learn more about your ad choices.
