Does lazy parenting exist?
15 januari 2025 |
58 min
Parenting is no joke, and in this episode, Jason and I dive into the trenches of what works (and what really doesn’t) with our 7- and 5-year-old. We’re sharing some of our favorite hacks and strategies, including our go-to acronym SMILE—Singing, Movement, Imagination, Loving, and Engaging. It’s how we’ve kept the peace (mostly) and the fun (usually) alive in our household.
But it’s not all sunshine and Montessori rainbows. We’re also getting real about the challenges, like the dreaded “hand-over-hand” technique that often ends in frustration for everyone involved.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re winging it as a parent, this one’s for you. Tune in for laughs, relatable moments, and maybe a tip or two that’ll make your parenting journey just a little bit easier—or at least more entertaining.

You know those moments in life where you just stop and think, How did I even get here? In this episode, Jason and I dive into some of our most surreal “pinch me” experiences.

There’s laughter, there’s chaos, and yes, there’s some oversharing. Because what’s a podcast without a little too much information, right?
Whether it’s brushing shoulders with fame or bringing tiny humans into the world, we’re unpacking those once-in-a-lifetime moments that shape our lives and make for some really great stories. Join us for the ride—it’s equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and a little bit messy. Just like us!

Emily's New York Times interview was...weird
24 december 2024 |
68 min
In this episode, we’re diving into the often-misunderstood world of crunchy living. Emily and Jason break down the stereotypes surrounding crunchy people—like the idea that they’re overly judgmental, hyper-political, or rigidly conservative—and unpack why these misconceptions persist. Emily shares insights from her recent interview with The New York Times, where the reporter framed her story through a narrow lens, leading to a thought-provoking conversation about narratives and agendas.
At the heart of it all, Emily and Jason ask an important question: Why can’t we all agree on the basics of being healthy, happy humans? With their signature humor and candidness, they challenge listeners to embrace a more open-minded view of what it means to live naturally—and remind everyone that crunchy isn’t a one-size-fits-all label.
