In this thought-provoking episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich welcomes Jonah Paquette, licensed clinical psychologist and author of Awestruck: How Embracing Wonder Can Make You Happier, Healthier, and More Connected. Together, they explore the science and transformative power of awe—those goosebump moments that make us feel small yet deeply connected to something bigger.

Jonah unpacks the modern epidemic of "awe deprivation," explains how small, intentional changes can unlock wonder in everyday life, and offers practical tips for fostering curiosity and gratitude in ourselves and our children. From the healing power of nature to the profound connection between awe and time perception, this episode invites you to reimagine how wonder can enrich your family, your mindset, and your world.

Discover why awe is more accessible than you think—and why embracing it might just be the antidote to modern stress and disconnection.
