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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is witnessing the little miracles—first smiles, snuggles, giggles, and growth. After loss and complications that nearly took my life, every moment with my son feels like grace in motion. His presence reminds me daily that God restores. Being his safe space, teacher, and biggest cheerleader is the greatest honor and reward I could ever receive.

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

One memory I’ll never forget is being wheeled to the NICU days after my emergency C-section. I had developed HELLP syndrome and lost my eyesight—but when they placed my son in my arms, God allowed me to see him, even though I couldn’t see anyone else. I was weak, stitched, and still in shock—but in that moment, I felt God’s promise fulfilled. It erased the pain of past loss and filled my heart with unspeakable joy. A love I prayed for, fought for, and will cherish forever.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I’d invest in my salon and wellness business to expand services that empower women, especially mothers to feel seen, supported, and beautiful. I’ve poured into my business through every challenge—surviving the pandemic, a stillbirth, and life-threatening complications—without ever paying myself. I’d also use it to support my family, cover medical expenses, and further my purpose. This would be a seed into healing, legacy, and balance.
