I'm Not Judging, But...

Spring, Slang and Sick Days

Season 2, Ep. 8
•

On this week's I'm Not Judging, But...Spring has sprung and so have Briony, Charlie and Vix, shaking off winter and diving headfirst into the chaos of parenting. This week they unpack Gen Alpha’s latest baffling slang now that “6–7” has officially been retired by meddling parents. In Overheard In The Playground they discuss a bold parent who took their child to the cinema with chickenpox.

 

Plus, in - In The News they dig into two headline-grabbing parenting stories: a mum launching a government petition for paid parental leave when kids are off sick, and Comedian, Katherine Ryan opening up about a face lift after six pregnancies in five years. And if that wasn't enough, they offer steady, reassuring wisdom to a listener worried about their daughter who is panicking over GCSE choices and whether ticking the wrong box at 15 will derail their entire existence. It’s a lively, loving, informative bath of friendliness and humour, with just enough gentle judgment to keep things interesting.

Briony May Williams, Charlie Fuge and Vix Wilshire have taken a precious moment to pause and share with us the unsung moments, the shared struggles and the joy of Millennial Motherhood. It is your front-row seat to the chaos, laughter and questionable decisions that come with full-on family life.


This is real talk, all the while building a community of like-minded mums who get it. Whether you're listening during a quick break or while hiding in the bathroom for a moment of peace (we’ve all been there), I’m Not Judging, But…offers the perfect escape.


I’m Not Judging, But…drops each Thursday. It’s a podcast production by Fin, the Executive Producer is Jojo Strous. You can find us on YouTube @Imnotjudgingbut, Instagram @imnotjudgingbutpod and TikTok @imnotjudgingbutpod.

    38:09||Season 3, Ep. 2
    On this week’s episode, Briony, Charlie and Vix catch up on their weeks - and Briony finally gets something off her chest after seeing someone online call only-children “spoilt brats,” a claim she passionately shuts down. Then it’s on to another brilliantly cringe “overheard”: the tale of a child who mistook a condom for a water balloon…and let’s just say it spiralled fast. In the news, the trio unpack the wholesome parenting idea 7‑7‑7, not to be confused with the viral 6–7 trend, as a simple way to connect more with your kids. It’s also Briony’s turn to answer questions from the purple Ask Me Anything box, where she drops an absolute bombshell about a dream that left her branded a “dream cheater.” And to top it all off, a Devon listener sends in a voicenote about the time she accidentally fuelled a restaurant fire with her kids’ colouring paper. It’s chaotic, heartfelt, and absolutely packed.
