There are so many things we think about when we think about our kids' future. What will they become? Who will they marry? Where will they live? What will our family look like 10, 20, 30 years from now? And somewhere along the way, we realize that planning for their future also means planning for the possibility that life doesn't go exactly the way we hope. That's why we have life insurance. Not because we live afraid of what might happen. Actually, it's the opposite. It gives us peace of mind, knowing that if something happened to one of us, the other wouldn't suddenly be trying to figure out how to support five kids while also dealing with unimaginable loss. If you've been putting this off, Ethos makes getting life insurance remarkably simple. It's 100% online. You can get a quote in seconds, apply in minutes, and potentially get same-day coverage. There's no medical exam, just a few simple health questions. You can get up to $3 million in coverage with some policies as low as $30 a month. You spend your whole life taking care of your family. This is one more way to take care of their future. Take 10 minutes to get covered today with life insurance through Ethos. Get a free quote at ethos.com/1000hours. That's ethos.com/1000hours.

I'm the founder of 1000hours outside.
I'm back for the 10th time. My dear friend and my wife, Beth Barbeau, welcome.

**Beth Barbeau** (1:16)
Thank you, Ginny. I'm so glad to be back.

No one else has hit 10 yet. There's another podcast. They do like, I don't even know, it's like a plaque or it's, or maybe, I don't quite know what it is. It's like something that you would put on the wall and then there's like these little space.
I'm not going to explain it well. Like they, it's almost like how you know if you have a trophy, but it changes every year. And so then they put the, like the person who won in 2021 and this person won in 2022 Like you can add names to it. So it's kind of like that, but it's like a plaque that goes on the wall. And so every time someone has been on five times, they put their like name on there. It's some sort of commemorative thing. So I was like, oh, that's fun. Maybe I should do it for 10 You would be the first.

**Beth Barbeau** (1:59)
I'm thinking that we're moms. It's amazing that we got here and sat ourselves down at the same exact time with our hair sort of clumped. I'm thinking, yay for 10 Let's keep going.

**Ginny Yurich** (2:09)
Yes, we got lots of ideas. Well, this is a wrap up of my home birth stories. So I talked about the first two home birth stories in our last podcast. So people can check that out. That will be podcast number nine. And I'll try and remember to put a link so people can go to that one. But we ran out of time.
So I had two Caesarean section births and then three home births with you.
And each of the home births taught me a very unique lesson, which was really an interesting thing, like a one sentencer for each one. And I didn't have the same experience with my hospital births, the Caesarean sections. And so they were kind of like life changing things. And we talked for a whole hour and only got through two of the births. But this works out well because actually in just a few weeks, maybe ten days or so, people can actually hop on a live call with you and ask their questions about natural births. So can you tell us about that? And then also if people are listening after this or they miss it, they can't make it, they could listen to the taped version.

**Beth Barbeau** (3:06)
Right. So it's called Live Chat With Beth, because I had been informed by my amazing marketing team, my children, who are in their 20s, that nobody in their 20s goes to a webinar. So it's a live chat.
And it's really, really cool. It's called Considering Natural Birth, What It Really Asks Of You and What It Gives Back. Because I'm finding that people think it's a good idea, but they're pretty scared. So it really helps, you know, more information always helps us feel more secure. So it's going to be kind of amazing. I'm looking forward, we get to actually talk. It's my first time. I get to talk live with all the participants. We can do Q&A afterwards as long as needed. It's just a presentation with some of the gems and things like that. So I'm hoping that we'll have a really lovely collection of people that I get to connect with.
