There's No Such Thing As Bad Weather with Linda McGurk | Episode 33
Show Notes

Linda McGurk is the author of the best-selling book "There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather: A Scandinavian Mom's Secrets for Raising Healthy, Resilient, and Confident Kids (from Friluftsliv to Hygge)".  This book has changed my life in so many ways, opening my eyes to the value of spending time in nature, regardless of the weather.  As a child, I spent all day every day outside, even in the winters growing up in Western New York.  As an adult, I realized I lost that connection with nature, and this book was one of the main catalysts to me reconnecting with the outdoors again, and has transformed my teaching career and family life.  

Linda and I focus in on several topics from her book including:

  • Free range parenting
  • Social trust
  • The fear of falling kids falling behind in academics and athletics
  • Friluftsliv (open air life)
  • Nature and the immune system
