In this honest and uplifting episode, Common Sense Gurl and Noah unpack why we can be our own worst critics—and how to break that habit. Inspired by Seneca’s wisdom on simple living, they explore the balance between self-discipline and self-compassion.

Noah shares a powerful realization: striving for perfection was killing his joy. A shift toward celebrating small wins changed everything. The conversation touches on how social media fuels unrealistic standards, and how embracing individual learning styles—because “every brain is a snowflake”—can lead to better understanding and connection.

From time-travel dreams to civil rights reflections, the hosts bring warmth, insight, and humor. They wrap with a metaphor of growth as sculpting: removing what we’re not to uncover who we truly are.

Tune in to learn, laugh, and be a little kinder to yourself.

The curtain falls on Season One of the Green Onions Podcast with a heartfelt, unfiltered conversation between hosts Common Sense Girl and Noah. What began as a 12-minute experiment has blossomed into a platform where authenticity reigns supreme, filled with what they lovingly call "nonsense, garbage, and a whole lot of laughter."

In this extended finale, the hosts reminisce about their podcasting journey, including the evolution of their format, behind-the-scenes dynamics, and the memorable jalapeno popper incident that nearly ended Noah's life. They candidly discuss how guest episodes changed their natural chemistry and their commitment to maintaining genuine conversations rather than performative content. This reflection offers listeners rare insight into the creative process behind building a podcast identity.

The conversation weaves through personal territory as Noah shares his thoughts on creative authenticity, expressing how he approaches creative endeavors with 100% commitment and no ego. Common Sense Girl opens up about family life, business ventures with her husband, and her new jogging routine with her five-year-old daughter. These personal moments showcase the real-life friendship that forms the backbone of the podcast.

The episode takes a deeper turn as they discuss mental health awareness, the importance of recognizing when someone is struggling, and how removing yourself from negative environments can be healing. Noah's moving reflection on fatherhood – both his relationship with his own father and his aspirations to become a parent – reveals the heart behind the humor. The finale concludes with a touching quote from "It's a Wonderful Life," bringing everything full circle.

Join us for Season Two where we'll introduce merchandise, video content, and continue delivering the authentic conversations you've come to love. Thank you for being part of our journey – the best is yet to come.
