Description

As the new year begins, join Ginny Yurich on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast for a transformative conversation with Charlie Hoehn, author of Play It Away: A Workaholic’s Cure for Anxiety. Charlie reveals how our modern, work-obsessed culture has stripped both children and adults of the joy and health benefits that come from play. Sharing his own journey through anxiety and burnout, Charlie discusses how simple, playful activities—like playing catch, improv comedy, and unplugged outdoor time—restored his mental health and renewed his relationships.

Learn why a lack of play is as harmful as malnutrition, how playfulness is the secret to happier marriages, and why turning off the news could be the best thing you do for your mental well-being. Charlie offers practical steps to bring more play and joy into your life, showing that it doesn’t have to be hard or expensive—it just takes a choice. Rediscover the power of play and start 2024 with a lighter, freer, and more fulfilling approach to life.
