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.
