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

The most rewarding part is watching them learn and grow into their own person. I have two children. One of which is neurodivergent. Being a mom gives me purpose. Watching my kids learn to navigate the world in their own ways while guiding them is day in and day out my entire purpose in life. Navigating the developmental struggles with my son is a challenge, one of which I show up and conquer each day.

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

My son is autistic, he’s struggled with social situations and prefers independent play. The most memorable moment for me is my daughter being able to display patience with her little brother. Last August we took our first family trip to Kelowna and my kids loved it! We booked a hotel and watching them jump from one bed to another TOGETHER was truly heartwarming for me. It may seem like a small moment to some but it was one of the biggest moments. Them bonding was something I always worried about

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000 I would be able to open up and RDSP for my son and set up a saving plan for my daughter. This is would give us some certainty for their futures.
