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.

The art of nonchalance in motherhood
Staying calm and composed can feel impossible in the chaos of motherhood, but mastering the art of nonchalance can be a game-changer. A nonchalant approach helps reduce conflict, model emotional regulation, and promote peace in your home.
In this episode of Mother U with Rachel Norman, we explore what a nonchalant voice is (and isn’t), why it works, and how to use it effectively in everyday parenting.
We’re chatting about:
- How adopting a nonchalant parenting style can reduce yelling and power struggles
- Practical tips for using tone, timing, and presence to stay calm and composed
- How purposeful, playful connection supports cooperation and emotional growth
Tune in for actionable strategies that help you parent with calm confidence while creating a peaceful, connected home environment.

*I've been told since that the water experiment is pseudoscience at best, so take with a grain of salt!
** Nurture and Play is BASED on play therapy principles but as you are a mother who is NOT a play therapist, it's not therapy. It's purposeful play using coaching skills that meets your child where they're at and creates a delightful time of 1:1 with your child :)
