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.
