1KHO 453: How to Keep Going When It Feels Like All is Falling Apart | Levi Lusko, Blessed are the Spiraling

In his second appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Levi Lusko opens up about spiraling—not just in the chaotic, crashing sense we all fear, but in a way that ultimately leads upward. With raw vulnerability, Levi shares how hitting a wall at age 38 forced him to confront years of unrelenting output, anxiety, and grief. He talks candidly about panic attacks, feeling lost even amid success, and the spiritual awakening that came from slowing down. Drawing from his new book Blessed Are the Spiraling, Levi explains how embracing change, honoring limits, and reconnecting with beauty—especially in nature—can lead to deep, lasting joy. Ginny and Levi explore the hidden cost of comparison, the power of contentment, and the importance of preparing not just for the next season of life, but for the end of it. They discuss everything from Warren Buffett to C.S. Lewis to the wisdom of ants, and highlight the vital role relationships play in healing and wholeness. This conversation is a tender reminder that you are not alone in your chaos—and that even in the middle of the spiral, there’s a path toward peace. ** Get your copy of Blessed are the Spiraling here Learn about the Movement Conference here Spend 20 minutes to write up a free will here Learn more about your ad choices.

Om Podcasten

Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.
