Shamey parenting energy is not welcome here. Judgment, Not Judgmental is the podcast for moms who know what they're doing and still — very much — lose it.
Not solely venting, and not solely expert advice. More like if those two had a baby? It’s two parents choosing curiosity over criticism, celebrating what’s working, laughing through what’s not, and giving you something small and usable you can actually try this week (because yes… we do know what we’re talking about).
Hosted by Rachel — parenting strategist from the child welfare world with an MSW and girl mom of two — and Rosie — PA with a psych background and boy mom of two — it’s the show where two best friends talk about all the things happening in their homes, their heads, and their hearts… without pretending to have it all figured out.
We believe in judgment — the kind you use to make decisions, set boundaries, and protect your peace. Moms need that. Kids need that. And we’re human — of course we have opinions. What we don’t do is judgmental — the shamey, side-eye, mean-girl-higher-than-thou energy. We know everyone has a different take on feeding, sleeping, working, discipline, meltdowns, screen time, childcare — all of it. It's fine.
But we’re also not here to co-sign every parenting moment just because it was hard. If something is coming at your kid’s expense, we’re gonna talk about it. Not to call you out — but because YOU don’t feel good stuck in that place, and neither do they. You can lose it sometimes, but you don’t have to live there.
Each episode feels like the thing you wish you had time for: getting out of the house, sitting across from your friend, unloading, re-thinking, and re-entering your day feeling better. Except you don’t have to plan childcare or put on real pants.
Let this be the version of friend time that acts like a shot of caffeine, when what you really need is sleep.
We get into: → The why behind the hard moments — your kids, your partner, your reactions → The pressure and opinions moms are drowning in, → The tiny, emotionally intelligent shifts that make the day feel lighter.
If you know what you're doing, you’re losing it anyway, and you’re just trying to love parenting as much as you’re meant to — so are we. Pull up a chair. We saved you a seat.
