    Season 1: What We Learned About Our Core Selves

    Season 1: What We Learned About Our Core Selves

    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 in 2023

    Etiquette in 2023

    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!

    Saying No to Toxic Friendships

    Saying No to Toxic Friendships

    We've all had that one friend who is just a little bit toxic. Maybe they try to control what you do? Or they're always calling to vent but never ask about you? Or, like in Chloe's case, maybe they expect you to pay their rent?! It's so true that a good -- or bad -- friendship can shape your life. Friends should be your safe place, and for Chloe and Mona, that is their story. On this week's episode they explore why their friendship works so well, why other friendships they've had fizzled and why they've had to just let go of some people who used to be in their inner circle.

    Mona & Chloe's Beauty Tips and Tricks

    This episode has it all -- products, tips, tricks and the answer to everlasting youth. Ok, not quite, but Mona and Chloe do share what they use and what they do to look and feel glam -- and it's not always about the make up. From the food you eat and the words you say to yourself to what you use to take off your make up (olive oil, anyone?), beauty isn't just skin deep. This episode is for anyone who wants to look and feel their best -- and honestly isn't that all of us?

    Going to the Next Level with Deepak Chopra

    Going to the Next Level with Deepak Chopra

    Are you ready to go deep? We’ve teased our guest this week a couple times so far this season. Deepak Chopra isn't just a meditation specialist, he's a good friend of Chloe's. Deepak has had an incredible career, from practicing medicine to embarking on a mission to promote wellness through alternative medicine, meditation and consciousness. Plus, he has written over 90 books, including his most recent, "Living in the Light: Yoga for Self-Realization."

    On this week’s episode, Mona and Chloe dive into their conversation with Deepak and explore the new research into epigenetics (yes, we'll explain what it is) and how psychedelics can help heal past trauma. Tune in for an episode that will leave you truly amazed and wanting to learn more.

    Not Your Average Siblings with Nema Vand

    Not Your Average Siblings with Nema Vand

    You may know Nema Vand from his time on "Shahs of Sunset" on Bravo, but it's time to learn who Nema really is when the cameras aren't running. In this week's episode of Core Self, Mona and Nema describe what it was really like being cast on "Shahs," including why Mona had a panic attack in their first scene. Plus, the two talk about their unique experience growing up on different sides of the country and how it helped bring them so close today. If you have brother or sister, you'll definitely related to this episode -- especially if they practiced their wrestling moves on you!

Ash review <3

I love these angels so much i could listen to them talk all day

Thuy-Dung ,

Amazing!

Honestly, this is my first time listening and I’m already hooked!

My favorite thing about the podcast is simply how genuine the conversation is and just chill. My favorite kind of vibe in people. That said, you both have gained a loyal listener in me on first episode. ☺️❤️
