Reproductive health care and mental health for all I asked friends and family if what I was feeling was common, and I was not encouraged by what I heard.

When I found out I was pregnant, I went through a roller coaster emotions ranging from sad to excited to scared.Pregnancy did not start off magical as most women experience in the first trimester. However, as I progressed into the second trimester, I realized that my anxiety and depression in the beginning had not subsided. I felt shame in being depressed while pregnant, not to mention the shame I felt for not having the perfect pregnancy. I went through much of my pregnancy alone and not empowered to reach out for help. After I gave birth, postpartum depression increased with my change in hormones. Guilt over not being perfect and supplementing breast milk with formula was the source of daily tears. I kept thinking that I was the only mom that ever struggled. I didn't reach out until I had a dramatic change in hormones from the end of nursing my daughter. It was then I found out that thousands of new mothers fight antepartum and postpartum depression every year, and I guarantee they often feel shame for not being the perfect mom too. Since my journey, I have resolved to help encourage and strengthen pregnant women and new mothers. You are not alone and no matter what type of pregnancy and birth you go through, you deserve to have support. We will make it through this together and find hope and connection in this beautiful transition into motherhood.

Give yourself permission! You’re not a “bad mom” if you find ways to decompress. You cannot pour into your babies if your cup is empty!

Yesterday the Counseling Board in Texas said providing gender affirming care in counseling to minors is unethical and can be punishable. To that we say a big HELL NO. We will always protect trans youth and trans folks at any age. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️

Reverend Jesse Jackson passed away this morning at age 84. May his legacy live on through the wisdom he imparted on all of us — especially young people.

Some patterns weren’t chosen.

They were absorbed.
Inherited silence.
Inherited coping.
Inherited ways of bracing, pleasing, enduring.

Your nervous system learned them before you had language. But inheritance is not obligation.
What gets passed down can also be put down.

Gently.
Consciously.
With support.
Healing is interruption if the old patterns. And sometimes the most loving thing you do for the line behind you is decide it ends here. 🕯️

If you are not bothered by the overt and covert racism of this administration, you should be. Repost from

Let’s be very clear with the TRUTH about the Ivy-degreed, record-breaking, bestselling-author, earned Noble- Peace Prize recipients, Grammy-winning Forever First Family who turned the White House into a masterclass in grace, legacy, and Black excellence that some people could learn from.

And just so we’re all aligned, Michelle said, “Take the high road.” We didn’t. Wrong playground. Play your PawPaw’s numbers on a lottery ticket and not with us.

These are the only images we’re circulating of Barack and Michelle Obama.

It’s always time to celebrate black history because black history is American history, it is world history, it is woven into the fibers of our society 👏🏾 So let’s turn up the volume on this Black History Month! The haters have been trying for centuries and they still can’t silence us! ✊🏾

Very grateful to be Interviewed a second time by Voyage Dallas 8 years after starting the practice. Please read. Therapy is political and we are proud to be on the right side of history. We have no time for fluff in repro justice, in Texas, or in a time of tyranny.

Do not be silent in times of tyranny. Abolish systems that oppress. Fight against those who replicate slave patrols and slave catchers. This is the time to not be neutral. We will always stand on the right side of history. NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL ON STOLEN LAND BUILT BY STOLEN HANDS.

About Push

So many people talk about how beautiful pregnancy, birth and motherhood are, but few tell us that it can be the hardest thing we’ve ever done. We don’t have as many conversations about not feeling like you’re doing everything perfectly and it creates the expectation that we have to be like the parent that seems to have it all. The truth is, none of us know what we are doing, it’s okay to not be okay, and comparison robs us of our value as a person and a parent.

One in five birthing people struggle during pregnancy or postpartum with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues that impact their way of life. That’s not to mention the emotional toll of infertility, the immense pain of pregnancy and infant loss, and the roller coaster that comes with raising children into adults. Although this feeling is lonely, you do not have to do this alone. Reaching out for support is not weakness, but it is strength. You are in the right place. Push is a practice of women that are passionate about supporting mothers because of our journeys serving moms and becoming moms in one way or another.

Even if you go no further, we are proud of you for taking the first step just to see what resources exist. It feels overwhelming and maybe scary, but our job is to simply help remind you of your value as an individual and your worth as a mother. We want you to feel you’re in a place of no judgment and no shame. Your feelings matter and although you’re not okay now, we look forward to walking with you on journey from surviving to thriving. You can do this!
