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

The most rewarding part of being a mom is sharing their wins. When they are struggling with an aspect of life and they get through it bravely. It’s challenging to witness your child struggling but it’s necessary for growth. And when they achieve their goals, you share in the joy because you know all the hard work that went into arriving at that moment. You feel as though you contributed to their success because you are their foundation.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

Motherhood has taught me to be unserious. To have fun! To see life as an accumulation of moments. One moment doesn’t define a life but it’s the building of them that does. Sometimes there are bad moments but we strive for the good moments to outweigh the bad. In doing so we can be comfortable making mistakes and failing because we can change the situation as we learn and grow. And have an adventure along the way!

What would you do with $20,000?

With the $20,000 I would contribute towards my youngest daughter’s dream of film school and my oldest daughter’s dream of a pop-up bakery. And if I’m truly brave enough I would pursue my own catering business. My girls have always told me I’m the best cook in the world!
