Brick By Brick
Welcome to Brick By Brick — a real, honest space for new parents navigating the messy, beautiful, and sometimes really lonely early days of life with a newborn.
If you’ve ever felt like you're supposed to “just know” how to do this: the feeding schedules, the sleep routines, the healing, the mental load, you’re not alone.
Here, we talk about what actually happens after the baby arrives: the physical and emotional recovery, the middle-of-the-night Google spirals, and the quiet moments no one really prepares you for.
Hosted by a fellow parent who's been through it, this podcast brings you grounded guidance, supportive stories, and practical tips: from hiring a doula, to staying connected as a couple, to safe ways to move your body and protect your peace.
No fluff. No pressure. Just the kind of support every parent deserves.

Bottle Feeding, Guilt, and Finding Yourself Again | Asha Woodall
In the second half of our conversation with postpartum doula Asha Woodall, we get real about some of the most emotionally charged parts of new parenthood: feeding decisions, guilt, and identity.
Asha walks us through the realities of breastfeeding and bottle introduction, how to let go of the pressure to “do it right,” and why every family’s journey looks different. We also talk about finding the right doula, the importance of mental health, and how new parents can reconnect with themselves during such a demanding season.
If you’ve ever felt guilty about how you feed your baby or lost yourself somewhere between feeding schedules and sleepless nights — this episode will remind you that you’re doing better than you think.
