About this listen
Read by the author and her husband, Jason Morrow.
Find your Inner Crunchy without becoming that person with this helpful guide from social media star Really Very Crunchy.
Are you tired of being bombarded by toxins at every turn? Do you want a more natural, "crunchy" approach to the world (with or without the beige aesthetic)? Well, grab your kombucha and join Emily Morrow on a journey to a more wholesome existence with Really Very Crunchy: A Beginner's Guide to Removing Toxins from Your Life without Adding Them to Your Personality.
Emily Morrow, creator of the viral "Really Very Crunchy" social media accounts, guides you through the ins and outs of starting and maintaining a crunchy lifestyle. With her signature humor and a delightfully sincere approach, she will show you how crunchy is a spectrum and how every little choice you make is one small step away from crunch-ifying your own life. From the basics of crunchy to the more advanced choices (beets instead of blush, anyone?), you will quickly say goodbye to toxic chemicals and hello to a healthier, happier way of living.
Funny, accessible, and encouraging—never judgmental or fear-based—Emily will help you:
- Learn how to make simple, mindful steps toward natural living
- Implement healthy, life-giving activities into your family's routine
- Navigate the challenges of adopting the crunchy way of life with sensible, easy-to-implement ideas
- Develop a new mindset when it comes to shopping for clothes, food, and cleaning products
- Discover natural remedies for just about everything
So what are you waiting for? Embrace your inner crunchy (or silky, if that's where you're starting) and dip your toes into a healthier, more sustainable life. Who knows? You may find out you're Really Very Crunchy after all.
The quiz, recipes, and resources can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What do you do when you start to feel a shift and must decide if it’s time to make a change? When it comes to navigating big decisions about when to stay and go, how can we know for sure when the time is right? Though we enter and exit many rooms over the course of our life—jobs, relationships, communities, life stages—knowing how and when it’s time to leave is a decision that rarely has a clear answer.

On September 11, 1999, humanity made a monumental discovery in the vastness of space. Scientists uncovered an asteroid of immense scientific importance—a colossal celestial entity. As massive as an aircraft carrier and towering as high as the iconic Empire State Building, this cosmic titan was later named Bennu. Remarkable for much more than its size, Bennu belonged to a rare breed of asteroids capable of revealing the essence of life itself. But just as Bennu became a beacon of promise, researchers identified a grave danger.

Your autonomic nervous system is responsible for the constant but mostly subconscious communication between your brain and body. When you experience stress, anxiety, or trauma, your nervous system formulates responses to keep you alive. But you can also become trapped in survival mode if you’re consistently exposed to unsafe environments, toxic relationships, or destructive thought patterns. Mind-body practitioners Jen Mann and Karden Rabin now provide the first in-depth look at nervous system regulation, somatic therapy, Polyvagal theory, the vagus nerve, and the mind-body connection.

Things aren’t going so well. For one, the guy didn’t work out. Theoretically, she’d love to find someone else, but it hasn’t happened. Two, she’s just been transferred out of Oncology for being too emotional. (Is it her fault she’s a weeper?) Three, her parents just split up. Deviating from the plan was … well, not in the plan. A potential solution comes from the foul-tempered surgeon Lorenzo Santini.

Story
Raised as a fourth-generation farmer, when Will Harris inherited White Oak Pastures he was a full-time commodity cowboy who played hard and fast with every tool the system offered–chemicals, antibiotics, steroids, and more. His ancestors had built a highly profitable, conventionally run machine, but over time he found himself disgusted with the excess, cruelty, and smalltown devastation this system entailed. So he bet the farm on forging a different way of doing things. One that works with nature not against it, and bridges the quickly widening delta between consumers and their food.

What do you do when you start to feel a shift and must decide if it’s time to make a change? When it comes to navigating big decisions about when to stay and go, how can we know for sure when the time is right? Though we enter and exit many rooms over the course of our life—jobs, relationships, communities, life stages—knowing how and when it’s time to leave is a decision that rarely has a clear answer.

In the era of screens and devices, the average American spends 90 percent of their time indoors, and children are no exception. Not only does this phenomenon have consequences for kids’ physical and mental health, it jeopardizes their ability to understand and engage with anything beyond the built environment. Thankfully, with the right mind-set, families can find beauty, meaning, and connection in a life lived outdoors. Here, outdoors expert Steven Rinella shares the parenting wisdom he has garnered as a father whose family has lived amid the biggest cities and wildest corners of America.

Perfect balance of knowledge, humor and grace!
This is an absolutely fantastic book! No matter where you are on the crunchy spectrum (including super silky), you will benefit from this book. Emily and Jason do a fantastic job giving a simple but poignant overview of how you can make better choices for your family, while still seeing the big picture in life and doing it with humility and grace. The audio book is very well produced, and it’s great to hear the sincerity and sarcasm throughout. Jason’s bits at the end of each chapter are informative as well as hilarious! I laughed out loud multiple times while listening to this book. I appreciate especially the consistent emphasis on showing humility, love and grace, towards yourself and others, as you navigate these decisions for you and your family. Living in this world, no matter if you’re conventional and “silky” or some variation of crunchy, the most important thing is the relationships we build with others. It’s not about following a set of rules. It’s about learning and showing discernment in the choices you make. There is no “perfect” to achieve. Take baby steps, continue to learn and grow. And always, always do it with love and grace towards yourself and others.
THANK YOU Emily and Jason for writing this beautifully informative, humorous, heartfelt book! I cannot wait to share it with others and try new things! Also, I’m going outside to touch grass now!

A kind guide to choosing your best “crunchy” path
If you follow Emily on social media, you know that she has a great take on the crunchy lifestyle. This book is a great dive into her experience (and her husband’s) and how to balance the best of life. There are so many things to research out there, but this book is a great place to start if you are looking to start being crunchy or improve your current crunchy experience. Take it from a person only 10% crunchy.

Good book to give to silky folk.
Perhaps a little too lenient with “do what works for you/crunchy is a spectrum”.

Lighthearted Crunchy Pep Talk
An overall light hearted review of aspects of the crunchy life. Tries to guide and encourage but sometimes comes off a bit condescending. Not so much an informational book as a overview and starting place.

Quirky, informational, fun read!
Emily as the narrator is fantastic! The book itself is full of great information and funny stories. It will make you laugh and make you think twice about that candle on your coffee table - without making you feel judged!

I am not really very crunchy but now that I know more, I will do more!
I am not really very crunchy. After reading Emily's book I can now say that I am probably 'scrunchy', but the world Emily is apart of is as far apart from mine as our millennial upbringings are close. I had terrific parents who were doing amazing things for the people and community around them but that meant my sister and I were on our own for play and entertainment, and our best friends were our VHS collection of Disney animated classics and second hand Barbie dolls. Now that I have children of my own, I've begun to see the cracks in my own childhood and how they affect how I interact with my own children. Emily's videos got me on the path to more outdoor and open ended play (which were strangers to me more than I knew) and now after finishing her beautiful book, I'm off on my journey to try and change our diet and surroundings a bite at a time. I will probably never be really very crunchy but thanks to Emily and Jason, I will do everything I can to do what's best for my family and knowing more, I will do more. Thank you both!
