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.

Birth, Feeding and Sleep | 10 Essential Things Parents Should Plan For - Part 1
Sammi and I break down the essentials we wish we knew before the baby arrived. We had no idea how many decisions we would have to make until we were already in it.
We talk about why having a flexible birth plan matters, how choosing the right hospital can completely change your birthing experience, and the postpartum support you will desperately need but probably have not planned for yet. From feeding and sleeping logistics to managing visitors and providing a guideline to your close friends and family for yourself to feel safe and supported, these are the things we wish someone told us sooner.
If you are expecting, this is the crash course we needed before becoming parents. You don't have to learn this the hard way!
