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.

Can the rollercoaster of emotions be a tool for deeper understanding and empathy? Join me, Monique Simmons, as I recount the heartfelt experience of watching "Inside Out 2" with my daughter, Zoey. This episode promises to unravel the intricate emotional landscape portrayed in the film, introducing new characters like Anxiety, Embarrassment, and Boredom. We'll explore how these emotions shape Riley's journey into her teenage years and reflect on the poignant moments that resonated deeply with us, particularly Joy's struggle to maintain constant optimism. This film serves as a rich conversation starter for families and couples, making it a must-watch to better understand and support our loved ones' emotional growth.

We confront the overwhelming dominance of Anxiety in Riley's life and discuss the significant pressures she faces from multiple fronts. As Joy comes to a crucial realization about her controlling nature, akin to Anxiety's, we delve into the pivotal moments that highlight the necessity of embracing all emotions. Through this exploration, we emphasize the importance of a balanced emotional core and how acceptance of both positive and negative experiences helps in building resilience. Join this insightful journey to understand how embracing a full spectrum of emotions can be a transformative experience for anyone.
