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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is witnessing my daughters grow into their authentic selves. I’m so proud of the way they assert their autonomy and confidently take charge, both at home and outside of. It’s a beautiful thing to embrace who our children have been sent here to be, not try to mold them into a vision of who we think they should be. My role is to guide, nurture, and protect my girls spirit. Every moment of this journey is a reward and a gift I cherish.

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

One memory I’ll never forget is the day I first met my children. The moment we locked eyes, I was instantly overwhelmed with a deep sense of knowing and immense joy. Along with that joy came a primal, fierce protectiveness—something that instinctively washed over me. It was a feeling I can’t quite describe, but it was as if my heart knew they were mine, and I’d do anything to protect and love them forever. That moment will always be etched in my heart.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won $20,000, I would use it to create lasting memories with my family. I'd start by taking a much-needed and first time ever family vacation, giving my kids the chance to experience a new place and culture. I’d also invest in their education and future, ensuring they have the tools and opportunities to succeed. Finally, I’d set aside some for a rainy day fund to provide financial security and peace of mind for my family. It would be a blessing to invest in their happiness and future.
