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

The most rewarding part of being a mom for me is being able to watch my kids grow up. The little moments—the hugs, the laughs and the conversation. It’s seeing their confidence build, their kindness shine, and their resilience. It’s knowing that the love, lessons, and values I pour into them every day are shaping their future. There’s nothing more fulfilling than being their safe place, their biggest supporter, and the one they come to no matter what.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

The biggest lesson motherhood has taught me is that growth happens for both of us. It’s taught me patience on the hard days, grace when things don’t go as planned, and strength I didn’t know I had. It’s shown me that I don’t have to be perfect, I just have to be present. Motherhood has also reminded me that the little things matter most… I’ve learned how to become a better version of myself too. At the end of the day, it’s about showing up, loving hard, and growing with them.

What would you do with $20,000?
