Shift your perspective and find balance
For those in the crunchy community, there is more noise than ever about the dangers around us and the way things should be done. While navigating her own journey of health and wellness, Emily began to see the humor in this lifestyle. In this conversation, we chat about how Emily got started sharing comedy on the internet to bring levity to what can be stressful. We also dive into what it looks like to maintain balance in this journey- balance in our minds, in our children, in our family relationships, in our social interactions, and more. This episode is a must-listen!
In this episode, we cover:
- How Emily’s crunchy lifestyle choices became viral content
- Finding balance in living a healthy lifestyle without going crazy
- Deciding what your 20% compromises will be in an 80/20 lifestyle
- Evaluating our peace of mind in an age of information overload
- Navigating relationships and social situations as a “crunchy mom”
- Making peace with choosing convenience in some situations
- Behind the scenes of Emily’s content creation process
- How we handle criticism and negativity as content creators
- The best way to encourage independent, creative play in kids

    When you feel like no one cares when you clean and cook, it’s so easy to give up and be like “whatever.” I work full time and still do the things around the house, and my husband totally sensed my stress of trying to keep up. He started thanking me and complimenting the dinners I made - even if it was simple dish. Started pointing out that how the coffee table or counters look nicer after I decluttered and cleaned them. I thank him for doing dishes and fixing stuff around the house. We started being more productive when we make it known that we notice the hard work. So compliment and thank your family today!

    Ok, dear crunchy community, I am a bit older, and back then, the fact that Asian women seemed to experience way less adverse symptoms, going through meno pause, was attributed to the fact that they ear lots of soy, in tofu etc. So, I thought it was good for us...?! 🤷 Anyway, I am not really looking for answers here, I will google this, of course, but just add to the fact, thatvthere is so much information out there, and seems to contradict, so - I loved this conversation above ...

    When Emily said that you have probably changed countless lives- I can confirm this. You have definitely been a HUGE inspiration and teacher for me. My family is healthier now and I feel like I can be a better homemaker because of your content. Thank you. 💛

    I worked at a CFA for a few months. They can be healthier than McDonald's. You can't get grilled chicken at mcds, you can at CFA. I know CFA has salads, that really aren't healthy if you do fried chicken on them. I don't know, does MCDs have salads? Honestly don't know.

  • @planningtolive_thebestlife453

    Canned green beans and canned carrots do have nutritional value. It’s far more then not eating any vegetables unless it’s growing season and you can eat them fresh out of the garden. That’s where canned veggies started! Preserve your veggies so that you can still eat some during winter!😁 so it was a wise choice for your grandma back in the day.

    I love how, even as you and I have been moms around the same time, we were like "pioneer crunchy" moms. Like, I was using a diaper service for cloth diapers before they sold all the cool cloth diapers, I was all into sustainable products which were so hard to find and people were confused by my anti-plastic outlook haha. Now it is more "normal" haha. The other day, I caught my mom heating food in a plastic container in a microwave. I've been yelling at her to stop doing that since the early 1990s and she still goes, "Oops! I forgot!!" I haven't owned a microwave in a decade or more now myself haha. I saw Emily's book on Goodreads being read by a friend and did not put together that THIS is the author until she showed her book. I love that!!!!!!!!! I definitely want to read it now. Thanks for the conversation and the fun. I am the same as you, with being serious. I am silly but I am very serious too. I always struggled to do imagination-based play. I'll read books to them and enjoy nature with them, but pretending and stuff. . .I can't. haha.

    I love the idea of from scratch cooking but let’s please remember but this content lately is so black and white. You either do this or you don’t. But it’s not truth a lot of these from scratch mums do actually lean on store purchased goods and do shortcut. So don’t feel like this is the be all end all goal when life is busy I guarantee you sometimes you’ll catch these ladies that seem to do it all do absolutely nothing.

    Being crunchy can be an idol if you allow it to consume you and ruin your relationships with people who don’t cook food your way etc. i learned that the hard way years ago at the beginning of my marriage! I do my best for my family, but when I’m around others or at their house, it’s not a concern for me anymore. Because that isn’t the reason we were put on earth.
