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.

Help Kids Grow Through Friendship Struggles (A 3 Step Exercise)
When kids face friendship drama, moms often feel helpless—or tempted to fix it for them. But teaching kids to handle hard friendships on their own builds resilience and confidence they’ll carry for life.
In this episode, I share a simple 3-step system I used with my daughter when she was struggling with friends. By helping her name her strengths, recognize unhealthy behaviors, and anchor herself in truth, she had a breakthrough in self-esteem—and hasn’t had friend issues since.
You’ll learn:
- Why rescuing kids from friend drama doesn’t work long-term
- A simple exercise to help kids see their own worth clearly
- How to help your child identify unhealthy patterns in friendships
- The power of writing down truths and guarding their heart with wisdom
- How this process builds lasting confidence and healthier relationships
