Episode Description:

Emily and Jason look back at how life felt simpler before they became crunchy. They share the humor and challenge of being more aware of everything from food to daily choices, while still affirming the value of their crunchy lifestyle.

Marriage, Parenting, and Choosing Your Battles Sep 03, 2025

Show notes

This week we are recording from our car, so sorry in advance for the audio. But we have a good topic for you: choosing your battles. We talk about when it makes sense to dig in and fight for something that really matters, and when it is better for your sanity, marriage, or parenting to let it go. From the small arguments that are not worth the energy to the big moments that shape life together, we share some laughs, a few stories, and hopefully give you something to think about the next time you face a battle of your own.

The Great Copy-Paste Crisis Aug 29, 2025

Show notes

Why does every town in America feel exactly the same? You pull off the highway and it’s the same Applebee’s, the same Walmart, the same McDonald’s, the same beige strip malls with the same parking lots. In this episode, Jason and Emily wonder out loud: is this what it was supposed to be? We talk about how copy-and-paste towns strip away character and community, what we miss about places that actually feel unique, and whether it’s possible to find (or build) something different in a world of sameness.

Should we stay? Or should we go? Aug 27, 2025

Show notes

Should we stay or should we go? In this episode, Jason and Emily wrestle with the big question so many families face: do you settle into the home and life you already have, or do you uproot everything in pursuit of something “better”? It’s the tension between being grateful and content where you are, while also dreaming about more space, a different town, or a new chapter. Join us as we talk about the pros, cons, and deeper heart questions behind making (or not making) a big move.
