Motherhood can feel triggering and unbearably heavy when we’re running on empty and trying to hold everything together without holding our boundaries. 

Without clear boundaries for ourselves and our kids, moms often carry the full weight of family life—and it quickly leads to burnout, resentment, and overwhelm.

In this episode of Mother U with Rachel Norman, part three of my story, I open up about the season when motherhood felt crushing and how I began setting boundaries that brought freedom, balance, and peace back into our home.

We’re chatting about:

• Why boundary-less motherhood leads to exhaustion and resentment
• How unprocessed triggers affect parenting and family dynamics
• Steps to lighten the emotional load and create healthier boundaries
• Practical ways to restore joy and balance when motherhood feels heavy

Tune in to hear how shifting my mindset and setting boundaries transformed the way I showed up as a mom—and how you can do the same.
