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.

Managing Allergies, Finding Resources, and Building a Community | Josh Lasker
In the second half of this conversation, Josh and I dive deeper into the realities of parenthood and why no one can do it alone.
Josh talks about building a reliable support team, finding the right resources, and learning to adapt when parenting doesn’t follow the plan. From managing food allergies and eczema to making tough day-to-day decisions, this episode explores how community and flexibility become essential tools for survival.
Josh and I also discuss how focusing on immediate needs and safety instead of long-term perfection, can bring more calm and clarity into the parenting journey. Because sometimes, doing your best today is the plan.
A grounded and encouraging reminder that with the right support and community, every challenge becomes a little easier to carry.
