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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching your child grow, learn, and become their own person. It’s in the little moments—the hugs, the “I love yous,” and the joy of their achievements. It’s knowing your love and sacrifices shape their future. Being their safe place, guiding them through life, and seeing them thrive makes every challenge worth it. Motherhood is a journey of love, growth, and an unbreakable bond that lasts a lifetime.

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

One memory of my child that I will never forget is when, at just four years old, she competed in a lemonade contest and won second place for People’s Choice. Watching her confidence, creativity, and determination at such a young age was truly inspiring. She not only embraced the challenge but also won the hearts of so many. That moment showed her resilience and entrepreneurial spirit, qualities that continue to make her shine.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would invest in my family, nonprofit, and community. I’d support my children’s education and my 10-year-old Kidpreneur’s business. A portion would expand my nonprofit’s programs, helping more families in need. I’d also enhance my work as a consultant, equipping nonprofit leaders for success. Lastly, I’d prioritize self-care and create meaningful memories with my family, making a lasting impact in every area of my life.
