To me, being a “Super Mom” isn’t about doing everything perfectly, it’s about showing up, being real and giving my best every single day.
We would like to thank you for supporting Amy Barlok Boyle in this year's competition. Your participation made a huge impact for Children’s Miracle Network® and their mission to provide life-saving care and improve the health of children across the country.
The most rewarding part of being a mom isn’t one significant moment, it’s a collection of small meaningful moments that add up over time. It’s the love and the commitment to your children to do whatever possible to make them have a good life and to be good people. It’s the privilege of shaping a life, not perfectly, but intentionally and knowing that, in some way, a piece of your heart is out in the world becoming their own person.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?Humility. Motherhood has humbled me. The times when I didn’t have answers, in the hard moments. When love had to be stronger than frustration. When I needed to slow down and listen more. When I needed to provide a calm space within the storm of emotions. In this, I’ve found a deeper kind of strength from learning, trying my hardest and loving without limits. Life is a lesson, we are constantly learning as we go.
What would you do with $20,000?I would use it with intention. It’s not about the money, it’s about what it represents: a chance for me to help ease our financial burdens and allow me the opportunity to say “yes” to a few of the fun extras along the way without the stress of how we would accomplish the asks. I would also take some time off of work and plan a trip to go and visit my own Super Mom.
