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.

Generations, Growth, and Finding Yourself Again in Parenthood | Amanda Nguyen
In part two of my conversation with Amanda Nguyen, we dive deeper into what it means to grow through motherhood.
We talk about the generational differences in how our parents raised us versus how we raise our children, and how those differences shape our values today. Amanda shares the reality behind feeding choices, the constant trade-offs in postpartum life, and how community support can make the hardest days feel lighter.
We reflect on the importance of communication, maintaining a strong relationship through exhaustion, and learning to meet your own basic needs again. It’s a conversation about rediscovering yourself while learning how to care for someone else.
