Mother U with Rachel Norman
Motherhood isn’t about perfection — it’s about finding your footing, building your home life with intention, and growing right alongside your kids (because spoiler: none of us have arrived yet).
At Mother U, we talk about family rhythms that feel natural, home systems that give you breathing room, boundaries that protect what matters most, and mindsets that help you mother from a place of peace instead of pressure. It’s about creating a home you actually want to live in — one where you stay connected to yourself and your family without running on fumes.
This isn’t a pep talk you’ll forget by nap time — it’s real, practical encouragement for the real, everyday work of being a mom.

When Kids Open Up About Past Hurts
When your child brings up a painful memory from the past—or shares something hurtful they’ve never told you before—it can catch you off guard. In this episode, we talk about how to respond in the moment, what to say (and not say), and how to help your child feel safe and supported while they process their emotions.
You’ll learn:
- How to respond when kids share past hurts or painful memories
- What to say to build trust and connection with your child
- Ways to stay calm when your child’s story triggers your own emotions
- How to help kids process old wounds without shutting them down
- Why listening well is the first step to healing
Whether it’s a small hurt or a big wound, you’ll get practical strategies for supporting your child, strengthening your relationship, and creating a safe space for honest conversations.
