The Tiny Big Joys - Podcast
4 months ago • 3 min readTHE TINY BIG JOYS — PODCAST A podcast born in a living room — and loved across a country.

Pregnancy, giving birth and early motherhood were such wonderful experiences for me that I started organising small gatherings with maternity specialists for local mums. Each time, I watched how much confidence, joy and...

5 days ago • 2 min readOne of the most listened-to episode from our original podcast... is coming back. Hey, When we first launched our Finnish podcast, I had no idea which episode would resonate most with new parents. Would it be birth? Sleep? Feeding? It wasn't. The episode parents returned to again and again was about something much simpler. Those first weeks at home with a newborn. Looking back, it makes perfect sense. You spend months preparing for birth. Then suddenly you're home, holding your baby, wondering...

about 1 month ago • 3 min readThe Relationship Reframe After Baby Hi there, When we prepare to welcome a baby, we spend months obsessing over the details.

The truth is, bringing a tiny person home is a beautiful, world-altering event, but it’s also a changing shift for you as a couple. Today, the fifth and final episode of our Pilot Series is officially live, and it is a...

about 1 month ago • 1 min readGet your free birth prep action plan Pregnancy can bring a lot of questions, including the ones you do not even know to ask yet. That was true for me too.

What changed things for me was not having a perfect plan, but understanding my options and feeling more supported. That experience is one of the reasons I created The Tiny Big Joys. This space is here to offer practical, and encouraging support...

We see it portrayed in movies as a dramatic medical emergency, and it's easy to internalize that anxiety before we even experience it ourselves. But when on my third trimester I finally slowed down and actually prepared for it, everything changed for me. My labor ended up lasting 38 hours, but instead of being terrifying, it turned...

Hi there, Maybe you found us through Instagram, the podcast, or another parent sharing this with you, either way, welcome! It is incredibly easy to get caught up in the endless data surrounding baby sleep online. Between tracking wake windows, memorizing rigid schedules, and trying to follow strict routines, it can quickly start to feel like everyone else received a manual that you missed out on.
