Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching my babies grow, learn, and become their own little people. Knowing that I’m their safe space, their biggest cheerleader, and the one they trust most means everything to me. Seeing their small milestones turn into big wins, whether it’s my son excelling in school or my baby hitting new milestones; reminds me that all the love, patience, and hard work is truly worth it.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

One memory I’ll never forget is taking my boys to the zoo in July 2024. It was a beautiful summer day, and the sun was shining just right. My oldest was so excited, running from exhibit to exhibit, asking questions about every animal he saw. My baby’s eyes lit up when he saw the colorful birds, and his little giggles melted my heart. We laughed, took tons of pictures, and ended the day with ice cream. It was one of those perfect days I’ll always cherish.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20,000, I’d focus on building a strong future for my family. I’d invest in starting a vending machine business to create a steady stream of income for my sons’ future. I’d also set aside money to help furnish and secure our new home, creating a warm, loving space for us. Lastly, I’d invest in my fitness brand, improving content for The Lani Effect and enhancing my Curves & Confidence program to help women feel confident and strong.
