“How can you forgive when you can't forget?" Join me, Monique Simmons, as I discuss the intricate journey of forgiveness. We explore the complexities of forgiveness, how traumatic events can linger in our bodies, and the impact of recurring memories and triggers. With insights from "The Body Keeps the Score," we discuss the importance of seeking professional help, like therapy, to manage these challenges. This episode is packed with personal anecdotes and practical advice, aiming to provide both encouragement and guidance for those wrestling with letting go of past hurts while maintaining their emotional and spiritual health.

Discover the true essence of forgiveness and why it's a conscious choice rather than a fleeting feeling. I share my personal experiences with therapies like EMDR, which have been instrumental in recalling suppressed memories and aiding the forgiveness process. Emphasizing forgiveness as essential for personal well-being and spiritual growth, I highlight how daily choices to forgive can free us from the control of past hurts. Let's embark on this journey together and build a supportive community through shared experiences and conversations. Engage with us and find the strength to embrace forgiveness and reclaim your joy.

Recovering from major surgery taught me a lesson that many of us struggle with: accepting help is not a sign of weakness. Join me on the latest episode of D.E.M.O. with Mo, as I share my personal journey of healing and the incredible support I received from my community, friends, family, and church. The touching moments, like a church member bringing homemade chicken noodle soup, highlighted the profound impact of acts of kindness and reinforced my understanding of how essential it is to embrace help during difficult times.

Ever found yourself hesitant to ask or accept for help, fearing it might make you appear weak? Let me guide you through my experience of learning to communicate my needs effectively. Therapy played a pivotal role in helping me shift from waiting for my husband to assist after work, to confidently asking friends for help. These small yet significant changes made a world of difference in my recovery process and underscored the importance of community support.

Finally, we reflect on the emotional significance of unexpected acts of kindness and the joy of showing up for others. From heartfelt prayers to thoughtful care packages, these gestures not only uplift us but also strengthen the bonds we share with our loved ones. As we redefine accepting help as a sign of strength and courage, let’s remember to always express gratitude for the love and support we receive. Tune in, and let's embark on this journey of growth and appreciation together.

What if the long-term issues you’ve accepted as part of your life didn’t have to define you? In this episode of Demo with Mo, I share my personal journey of breaking free from the chains of health challenges. With the help of doctors, I've discovered that a healthier, more fulfilling life is possible, and I’m taking the steps to achieve it. Through the lens of my experience, I invite you to recognize that God provides us with ways to escape suffering and embrace a new normal. This isn’t just about physical health—it’s about transforming any area of your life where dysfunction has been the norm.

Embracing a new normal also means taking up your cross and following a spiritual path with unwavering commitment. In our discussion, I talk about the sacrifices and challenges that come with choosing God over worldly desires and relationships. We delve into what it truly means to take up one's cross, bearing burdens with faith and humility. Join me as I encourage you to find joy, peace, and a strong spiritual foundation, highlighting that these blessings are available right here, right now. This episode is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith and the unwavering support from God and loved ones on our journey.
