Judgment, Not Judgmental | Parenting Tools + Conversations That Support Moms in Raising Their Family... Their Way

Rachel and Rosie talk about feuding with Jamie about baby cuddles until he check-mates her with argument using video game terminology, and how Aiden knows Rosie better than anyone as he supports her giving a stranger the Heimlich over a choked-on brat, and we love on the moms who understand that 8:30AM is the BEST playdate time. This is Rachel and Rosie's Father's Day dispatch on husbands — but re...

Rachel and Rosie start with vocabulary words and somehow end up talking about ADHD, re-parenting, emotional regulation, and ChapStick. They discuss the question that immediately reduced tension with both a husband and a toddler, why parenting starts with exhaustion instead of expertise, and how a five-second pause can completely change a conversation.   WHAT WE TALK ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE → wh...

Rachel and Rosie come back from a hiatus with moving chaos, flooded basements, tornado warnings, and a moment that ends in a dog bed surrounded by two giant dogs wondering why everyone needs to touch you at the exact same time—plus about twenty tangents (including literal math) that somehow still end up looping back around?? 🔍 WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE → packing up your entire hous...

Rachel and Rosie record this episode for the third time at 9:36pm. They talk about kids who take choking hazards very seriously, getting stuck in the kitchen with three animals and a baby grabbing your pants, and the audacity of being interrupted mid-thought.   🔗 LINKS & MENTIONS → Rachel’s Instagram :  @regulatingwithrachel  → January 9th post :  “One Last Thing” concept&...

This episode starts as a Disney vacation recap and turns into a conversation about recalibrating expectations, repairing with your kids, saying yes on purpose, and the Olympic-level skills moms use every single day without getting a medal for any of it.   What We’re Talking About in This Episode → what happens when your princess kid doesn’t like the princesses → “just take a picture” → the di...

In this episode, we talk about what it actually looks like to parent when the world feels like it’s on fire — not in theory, but in real time. We talk about the mental tug-of-war between staying informed and staying functional. About trying to show up for our kids while our brains are half somewhere else. About why “just ignoring it” doesn’t work — and why living in constant doom doesn’t either. T...

Rachel turns parenting goals into a Shrek-universe map and makes Rosie answer uncomfortable (but useful) questions ( down below! ↓ ) about why it doesn’t feel like a straightforward field of flowers right now. This episode is about auditing your parenting terrain without turning it into a boring, clinical mess —and why the goal isn’t “no obstacles,” it’s fewer emotional threats at once. If ge...

The holidays leave a lot of information behind — if we don’t ignore it.   In this episode, we talk through 7 questions we ask after the chaos settles to figure out what actually worked for our family… and what we don’t want to carry forward next time. Not to overanalyze — but to make things easier the next go around. Think of it like this: the exhaustion is data. And if we use it before it fa...

In this episode, we talk about something that comes up all the time in our DMs and real-life conversations: mom friends. How to find them, why they matter so much, and why it can feel surprisingly vulnerable (and awkward) to even try. This conversation goes exactly where real mom conversations go — a little all over the place. We talk about library story hours, swim lessons, group chats that quiet...
