What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part about being a mom is feeling love I’ve never felt. To feel love from someone even when I don’t show up as my best self unconditionally is something I’ve only felt from my son. I love that I get to watch someone from birth grow into their own person. It is rewarding that I get to show up for him because as a child I did not have people show up for me. I get to be present in his growth and be able to heal myself by parenting him.

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

For my son’s 2nd birthday he and I went to Disney World and it was truly an amazing time. He was so excited to get on rides and I remember he wasn’t even scared of the characters he seemed so happy and at the waterpark I think back on how he engaged with the other children which was new to him and I felt that helped him as far as his social skills.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000 I would be able to put money aside for my son because as a type 1 diabetic I am having a hard to to get life insurance and I want to at least have some money saved for him. I also would be able to get me a studio to start my aesthetics business. Right now I’m only working part time as a beauty ambassador at Ulta and barely get 10-15 weekly. I’ve been having a very troublesome time finding work because my son schedule isn’t flexible and I have very little help with him.
