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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is the pure, unconditional love that comes with it. It’s in the little moments, when my son Kayden gives me a big hug after a long day or when my daughter RubyRose looks up at me. Watching them grow and learn is incredible. Even on my hardest days, knowing I’m their safe space and biggest cheerleader fills my heart like nothing else.

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

One memory I’ll never forget is the day I gave birth to RubyRose, the overwhelming rush of love, joy, and relief knowing she was finally here. With Kayden, it’s been the journey of supporting his autism needs, especially the first time he used his words to express how he felt. That moment was everything. Watching him navigate the world in his own way has been incredible. Both experiences shaped me as a mother, teaching me patience, strength, and the power of unconditional love.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I had $20,000, I would put it toward a down payment on a home for my family. We currently live in a tiny apartment in NYC, and it has been a challenging living situation. Having more space would mean a better quality of life for my kids, especially for Kayden, who needs a comfortable environment to thrive. A home would give us stability, room to grow, and a place where we can truly feel at peace as a family.
