You know how every friend group has that one person who somehow ends up planning the trips? They're finding the hotel, figuring out what's actually worth doing, sending everybody links. And maybe you're thinking, wait, that's me. I do this all the time. Why am I not getting paid for it? That is basically the idea behind Fora. Fora is a modern travel agency that gives you the tools and training to actually build your own travel business. You can earn commission booking hotels, cruises and experiences, whether you start with your own travel or just helping friends and family with theirs. And what I think is really cool is that you're not just booking things. Fora has relationships with more than 7,000 preferred travel partners, so you can often give your clients things like upgrades, resort credits and a late checkout. So if travel planning is already something you love doing, this might be worth checking out. Become a Fora advisor today at foratravel.com/1000hours.

You know, there are so many little things we do as parents to help our kids sleep well. We get them outside, keep them moving, try to limit screens at night. But one thing I hadn't thought much about was how they're actually breathing while they sleep.

A lot of parents don't realize their kids may be sleeping with their mouths open. And persistent mouth breathing can be associated with restless sleep, dry mouth, moodiness, oral health concerns, and even development.

That is where Muzzle Kids Tape comes in.

It is a simple bedtime tool designed to greatly encourage lip closure and support nasal breathing. And what I really like as a mom is their patented Breathe Safe Center Opening. It doesn't completely seal the mouth, so there's still room to talk, cough, sneeze, or drink water if needed. They make Muzzle for adults too, so it can be a simple nighttime habit for the whole family. Go to muzzlesleep.com and use code 1000HOURS for 10% off. That's muzzlesleep.com, promo code 1000HOURS.

Hey friends, welcome back to the 1000 Hours Outside Podcast. I'm Ginny Yurich, and I'm so glad you're spending part of your Friday with me. If you're newer around here, welcome. 1000 Hours Outside started with a simple idea. What if we tried to match some of the time kids spend on screens with time outside? And it has grown into this incredible community of families all over the world who are choosing more real life experiences, more play, more adventure, and more time together. And this podcast has become an extension of that. All week long, we get to learn from fascinating people about childhood, health, relationships, family, adventure, education, technology, and faith. We have such an interesting mix. Next week, we're talking about what actually makes someone popular with Dr. Mitch Prinstein and why the kind of popularity so many of us wanted growing up may not be the kind we should have wanted after all.

We're going inside the mystery of people who disappear in the wilderness with Professor John Billman, author of Cold Vanish. John Gordon joins us to talk about the energy we bring into the room. Susan Dominus tackles the fascinating question why some families produce not just one extraordinarily successful child, but several. She went looking at families with multiple high achieving siblings to find out what was happening inside those homes. Plus Michael Keller on Sunday and Ryan Wilson on Friday. So if you're enjoying these conversations, hit follow. There is a lot coming and I'm so grateful you're part of this community. Today, Lysa Terkeurst is back with a new book called Making Peace with What I Can't Control. It's about figuring out what's ours to carry and what's not. Here's Lysa.

Welcome to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast. My name is Ginny Yurich. I'm the founder of 1000 Hours Outside. So honored today to have Lysa Terkeurst back. She has a brand new book out and it's a book that is about a topic that I think so many of us struggle with, which is making peace with what I can't control. Lysa, welcome back.

If you go to the front cover of this book, there is a long, long, long list of incredible books that you have put out into the world, such as Video Bible Studies plus Books for Kids. Let's talk about this one. I love that you start this book out by talking about how you're like, I'm not naturally controlling.

I'm pretty chill. But the circumstances in my life have taken me to this point where I feel worried. I feel some dread. I don't know what's to come. And I guess as life gets more complicated, you get older, you have children. You know, there's all of these...
