D.E.M.O. with Mo
I’m Monique Simmons, host of D.E.M.O. with Mo. I’ve been married to my husband Corey for 15 years, and together we’re raising two amazing kids while adjusting to the new season of having a young adult son. I created this podcast to give people a real, honest place to talk about relationships — the good, the hard, and the things I wish I’d known in my early years. I’m not here as an expert, just a Christian woman learning and growing every day. We’re all figuring out this thing called life together.

What if the family you pick becomes more significant than the one you’re born into? Join me on a heartfelt journey as I explore the idea of chosen family, sparked by my recent trip to Orlando for the PodFest podcast conference. Battling a cold, I found solace in the vibrant energy of fellow podcasters and reconnected with a dear friend, reigniting the bonds we've nurtured over a decade. This experience was a poignant reminder of the incredible support system that has been my lifeline, highlighting the transformative power of relationships we actively choose and cherish.

This episode takes a closer look at the profound connections we form beyond blood ties. Chosen families provide the emotional warmth and affirmation that might be absent in traditional family settings, especially for those who've faced rejection. We discuss the intricate layers of love and support found in these intentional relationships that often surpass biological bonds in depth and significance. Through shared experiences and enduring support, these connections validate our journeys and enrich our lives. Tune in to celebrate the people who stand beside us through thick and thin, reminding us of the beauty in choosing our own family.
