We love Dorothy Day House ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 🍎

It takes a village — and we’re grateful for the people helping us build one. 🤍

This week, families at Dorothy Day House had the opportunity to learn from Tenikki Sesley, founder of Apple Seeds,Inc., as she shared about mental wellness, motherhood, and the importance of support systems through different seasons of parenting.

Through our Family Workshops, community partners help equip families with knowledge, encouragement, and practical tools that support long-term stability and well-being.

Thank you, Tenikki, for walking alongside our families and reminding us that no parent should have to navigate life alone.

It’s time to move past the idea that PMADs are just the "baby blues." 🧠💔

This infographic sheds light on the myth vs. the clinical facts: Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) are far more complex and common than people often think. While postpartum depression is well-known, it's actually just one part of a much wider spectrum of experiences.

The myth is that PMADs just mean you're always sad or crying. The Clinical Fact is that symptoms can also manifest as intense anxiety, rage, intrusive, scary thoughts (Postpartum OCD), extreme brain fog, major sleep disturbances, and difficulty bonding.

Understanding these diverse and intense symptoms is the first step toward getting the right support and breaking the stigma. If this graphic matches your experience, know that you are not alone and help is available.

👇 Let’s normalize the whole conversation. We want to know: Were you surprised by how PMADs actually showed up for you? Share in the comments below!

f you are deep in the trenches of the first 12 weeks postpartum, take a deep breath.

Society tells us this is supposed to be pure bliss, but let’s be real: the "fourth trimester" is a beautiful, messy, entirely chaotic collision of love and survival.

Here is what is completely normal, even if no one warned you:

The Identity Shift: You are looking in the mirror at a body that feels unfamiliar, and a life that changed overnight. Mourning your independence, your old routines, or just the ability to leave the house with only your keys doesn't mean you don't love your baby. It just means you are human. You are building a new identity from the ground up.

The Sleep Deprivation: It isn't just being "tired." It is a heavy, disorienting fog that makes you forget your own phone number or cry over spilled water. Surviving on two-hour increments of sleep is incredibly hard.

The Emotional Whiplash: The hormone drop is real. Feeling overwhelmed, crying for absolutely no reason, and experiencing waves of anxiety alongside waves of fierce, overwhelming love is all part of the process.

You aren't doing it wrong. You aren't failing. The dishes can wait. The laundry can stay in the basket.

Right now, your only job is healing and getting to know this tiny human—and giving yourself the grace to figure it out one chaotic day (and long night) at a time. 🤎

No Mother Should Suffer in Silence 🌿

Bringing a new life into the world is an incredible transition, but it can also be one of the most vulnerable and emotionally taxing periods in a woman's life. Postpartum depression, anxiety, and the overwhelming shifts of motherhood are heavy enough—adding the burden of financial stress can make it feel impossible to reach out for help.

Apple Seeds Memphis is rooted in a fundamental, life-saving mission: providing accessible maternal mental health services regardless of an individual's ability to pay. Financial strain is a reality for many growing families, but the cost of therapy should never be the reason a mother suffers in silence. When women are supported, whole families thrive. Apple Seeds removes the financial barriers so that mothers can focus on what truly matters: healing, finding their footing, and getting the compassionate care they deserve.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you don't have to navigate this alone. Help is here, and it is accessible.
