The end has come for season one of Core Self. The podcast started with just an idea -- "Let's do a podcast! It'll be fun!" -- but it's become so much more than that. Thoughtful conversations have turned into self discovery for Mona and Chloe -- and hopefully for listeners as well. From spirituality to online hate to episodes with amazing guests, it's been quite the journey. So tune in for one final episode as Mona and Chloe reflect back on their experience, highlight their favorite episodes, and share few comedic behind the scenes moments from the season!

And don't worry, we're already hard at work on season two. While you wait, head over to TikTok to follow @CoreSelfPodcast, plus stay up to date with us at @MonaVand and @misschloeflower on Instagram. Happy summer and see you all soon!

Etiquette: the customary code of polite behavior in society. Gone are the days of curtsying or even resisting the urge to gossip. But the debate still rages on about our ideas of modern etiquette. This week, Mona and Chloe dive in and try to answer the questions we all ask ourselves. Do you have to send a physical thank you note? Should you take your shoes off in someone's home? What are the rules for posting on social media for birthdays? We might not settle the debate, but we certainly had fun recording the episode!
