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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is watching my boys grow into strong, confident individuals. Knowing that I’m shaping their values, work ethic, and dreams while providing love and support makes every challenge worth it. Seeing their smiles, achievements, and the way they look up to me reminds me that all the hard work, sacrifices, and sleepless nights are for something greater. Being their mom is my greatest accomplishment and the most fulfilling part of my journey.

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

Last year, I ran for Boutique of the Year and won! When I came home, my kids ran up to me, yelling “Congratulations!” It was so special because whenever I doubt myself or struggle with mom guilt from working long hours, their pride reminds me why I do it all. Knowing they see and celebrate my hard work affirms that I’m on the right path—not just for my business, but for them.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I would invest in my business to help it grow, creating more opportunities for my family’s future. I’d also use part of it to create special experiences for my kids—whether it’s a dream trip, new opportunities for their passions, or simply more quality time together. Balancing business and motherhood is everything to me, and this would allow me to build for the future while making unforgettable memories with my boys.
