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

The best part of being a mom is watching my kids grow into strong, ambitious individuals. I’ve guided them through challenges, celebrated their wins, and loved them unconditionally. Seeing my oldest survive cancer and watching and guiding them through chasing their dreams and securing their future fills me with pride. Motherhood hasn’t been easy, but every moment—every struggle and every joy has shaped the unbreakable bond we share. They are my greatest achievement.

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

As a stay-at-home mom with a deployed military (now ex) husband, I juggled three kids under five while pursuing my degrees. Even in the toughest moments, through tear-filled eyes, I looked at them and knew my efforts would shape their future. Their livelihood depended on my perseverance, so I pushed forward, determined to create a better life for us all.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I’d invest in my dreams and my family’s future. I’d grow my mindset coaching business, create powerful resources, and publish my mindfulness ebook. I’d use some for experiences—travel, family moments, and memories that matter. And because i'm always planning ahead, I’d set aside a portion for security, ensuring stability while building the life I've manifested. Every dollar would be purposeful, just like every sacrifice I’ve made along the way.
