What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is showing up no matter what. Through challenges, recovery, and the hard days, I’ve learned that being their strength teaches them how to find their own. Watching them grow while knowing they’re loved, supported, and never alone—that’s what makes it all worth it.

What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?

I’m a mom of three who shows up every day—even when life gets heavy. After going through a full hysterectomy and complications, I’ve had to rebuild my strength while still being everything my kids need. Being a mom isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. I teach, care, and love hard, even on the days I’m running on empty. Winning this would mean showing my kids that resilience matters—and that moms deserve to be seen too.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use the money to make our home more functional for my family—especially adding a downstairs bathroom so my daughter can feel more comfortable and independent. I’d also invest in things that support our everyday life, from creating a more peaceful space to small things that help me show up as the best mom I can be. This wouldn’t just be a win—it would truly make a difference in our daily lives.
