In this episode of The Really Very Crunchy Podcast, Emily and Jason break down how Emily started Forest Friends—a thriving nature-based homeschool community for moms and their kids. Emily shares the ups and downs, from awkward first meetups to finding your people, and offers real talk on building a group that actually works. Whether you're a seasoned homeschooler or just dreaming of more outdoor time and connection, this episode covers the practical steps, emotional hurdles, and sweet rewards of leading a nature co-op. Tune in to hear how creating community can feel weird, wonderful, and worth it.

• Turns out, Emily isn't who she thought she was...

  If you're interested in hanging out with Emily at the Modern Homestead Conference check out the link below! https://modernhomesteading.com/tickets-2025/ This week, Emily and Jason Morrow recount the chaos and cuteness of their unexpected adventure as foster parents to baby opossums—midnight feedings, marsupial meltdowns, and all. But the conversation takes a turn when Emily admits she’s always considered herself a laid-back, go-with-the-flow Type B… until Jason presents some surprising evidence to the contrary. Is it possible the queen of crunchy calm is actually a closet Type A? The debate gets personal, hilarious, and oddly insightful. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

• We Ignored the Doctor—and Our Son Got Better

  When their son suddenly developed a mysterious rash, Emily and Jason Morrow made a rare trip to the doctor—only to be handed a prescription for antibiotics after a 30-second glance. They waited it out instead, and the rash disappeared after some home remedies created by Emily. In this episode, they question why antibiotics are so overprescribed, and why the modern medical system seems to skip holistic approaches in favor of quick fixes. It's a hilarious, slightly chaotic conversation about trusting your gut (literally and figuratively), unnecessary medication, and whether Jason now fears pharmacists more than doctors. If you’ve ever wondered if that prescription was really necessary, this one’s for you.

• One comment turned into a full-blown crunchy cult.

  This week, Emily and Jason unpack a spicy little gem from the comments section—someone thinks we’re terrible people.Not just mildly annoying. Full-blown villains. So naturally, we take that critique to its logical (and very extreme) conclusion. Are we starting a cult? Sacrificing goats? Gaslighting the masses through sourdough reels? No. We’re just telling stories. That’s it. But also, Emily casually became an award-winning children’s book author, so maybe we are too powerful. Tune in for a very unserious conversation about internet outrage, accidental influence, and the true horror of being misunderstood online.

• Where do we draw the line with A.I.?

We talk about the good (yay for help with spreadsheets!), the bad (can we not replace artists, please?), and the uncertain (should we be worried about Skynet?). We explore: - The environmental cost of A.I. systems - What ethical use looks like (if that even exists) - How creatives are responding - And the ultimate question: How far is too far?
