There you go: "...she never condones nor condemns...disapproval is done with love, compassion, and understanding."
We each have a right to believe as we wish and to act on our beliefs to see what might actually happen, and then a wink from someone knowledgeable and trustworthy rhetorically asking "How well is that working out for you?" does not have to be perceived as condemning.
