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.

Defiance: 3 D's that disrupt family life (part 1)
In this episode of Mother U with Rachel Norman, we’re tackling the first of the “3 D’s” that disrupt family life—defiance.
When kids push back, argue, or refuse to listen, it can quickly throw the whole household into chaos.
But defiance doesn’t have to define your days. With the right strategies, you can respond calmly, set firm boundaries, and guide your kids toward cooperation without constant battles.
We're chatting about:
- What defiance really means (and what it doesn’t)
- Why kids become defiant and how to address the root causes
- Practical parenting strategies to reduce power struggles and restore peace at home
Tune in now to learn how to handle defiance with confidence and create a calmer, more cooperative family life.
