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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is knowing I get to love my child in all the ways I once needed. Every hug, every word of encouragement, every moment I choose patience over pain. I’m not just raising them, I’m healing generations. To be their safe place, their biggest fan, their constant.

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

With my daughter - One memory I’ll never forget is the first time my daughter wiped my tears and she was only 3 at that time. I suffered with post partum depression. I was having a hard day and crying inside my closet not knowing she’s awake and without saying a word, she crawled into my lap hugged me and looked up with her tiny hands on my face, and said, “It’s okay, Mama, you’re strong.” She reminded me of the strength I sometimes forget I have. With my boy it’s the day I gave birth to him.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d invest in expanding my small business—creating a safe, empowering space for women and moms to recover from trauma, feel beautiful in their skin, and reclaim their power. It will allow me to continue my mission of healing by continuing to offer free weekly treatments for mamas going through unimaginable pain because healing should never be a luxury, and every woman deserves to feel seen. I’ve already started doing this from the heart, but with more resources, I could reach more women.
