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.

Superdad Mode: Managing Allergies, Daycare, and a Startup | Josh Lasker
In this episode, I sit down with Josh Lasker, founder of Sapling Energy, to talk about what happens when parenthood doesn’t go according to plan.
Josh opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of raising a daughter with food allergies. How daycare germs led to her becoming a daycare dropout. From navigating safety concerns and endless trial and error, to juggling a growing company and family life, Josh shares what it really looks like to manage it all.
The conversation dives into the guilt, the worry, and the constant adjustments that come with parenting a child with allergies, while trying to balance work, marriage, and self-care. Josh also reflects on what he’s learned about patience, community support, and redefining what it means to be a “super dad.”
For any parent trying to balance it all, and realizing you can’t do it perfectly, this one’s for you. 🤍
