Even with the most dire, stressful circumstances, I choose to live each day big, with joy in my heart that we get another day together!
We would like to thank you for supporting Nicole Silverman 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.
As a mom of three teenagers, it's so rewarding to help in their "becoming" journey. My goal is to empower them and help them become the best versions of themselves. My 17 year old son has significant non-verbal autism and requires 24/7 care. It's been incredible to see the community we've created and advocated for him over the years. He has a big, full life in spite of obstacles and is well loved by all.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?Motherhood has taught me take care of myself- body, mind and spirit, so that I can take care of my kids. If I'm unhealthy or living in crisis, I'm not able to show up for them the way I want to or the way they might need me to. It's a gift to show up as a present mom, both mentally and physically. Also, I want to model that "health" for my teenagers who will be parents someday- that you don't have to live is stress, chaos, and unhealthy habits. You can transform your life.
What would you do with $20,000?We want to buy my 17 year old son this european accessible bike so we can take bike rides as a family! And then we'd head to Sunriver, OR so we could try the accessible bike out on the accessible paths!
