"Black maternal mental health needs more support than it's getting — I've experienced that gap both personally and professionally. A few years ago, I lost a close friend to su***de, and it taught me exactly what silence can cost. Facilitating PSI groups is how I build the community I wish I'd had: a space where hope gets planted, and no one carries this alone."

For Erica Gordon, a facilitator of our Support for BIPOC Parents of One-to-Four-Year-Old Children, volunteering with PSI is personal. She's building a community she wishes she'd had for herself and for the friend she lost, so that no other parent has to go through a perinatal mental health disorder alone 💙

We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Hayden Panettiere 💙

Hayden used her platform to speak about her experience with postpartum depression at a time when few public figures did. Her honesty about the stress, the anxiety, the isolation of feeling like "nobody around understood" gave voice to what so many new parents feel but rarely say out loud.

By sharing her story, Hayden helped normalize the conversation around perinatal mental health and let countless parents know they weren't alone in their struggle. That kind of courage leaves a lasting impact.

Our thoughts are with her family, her daughter, and everyone who loved her.

If you are struggling, please know help is available and you don't have to carry it alone. We are here for you, always.

Play, joy, and love are biological necessities. 🧬

The emerging science of epigenetics shows that your environment, your emotions, and your relationships can switch genes on and off, regulating everything from inflammation to immune function to how fast you age.

Your nervous system was designed for love and belonging, and when you deprive it of that, everything downstream suffers — your hormones, your immunity, your brain, your longevity.

Think of joy, connection, and play as part of your health stack; just as essential as what you eat, how you move, and how you sleep.

So laugh more, love deeply, and stop treating joy like something you have to earn after all the “real” health stuff is done.

It IS the real health stuff.

Motherhood changed me in ways I never could have understood before I held my baby for the first time, because while everyone could see the child being born, very few people noticed that I was becoming someone completely new too. I was still me in so many ways, but there was suddenly this deeper softness, fear, strength, exhaustion, and love living inside me all at once. Some days I barely recognized myself through the sleepless nights, emotional changes, and overwhelming responsibility, and yet this new version of me kept showing up anyway. Becoming a mother is beautiful, but it’s also such a tender transformation that deserves patience, grace, and care too. Sometimes mothers spend so much time nurturing everyone else that we forget we need nurturing ourselves as well 🤍

When we’re talking about boundaries, we sometimes focus on the other person- what we will or will not tolerate in someone else’s behavior or demeanor– when in fact those are rules or limits or expectations.

A boundary is about me checking in with me to ensure that I am caring for MYSELF in my relationship with YOU.

And why do I need a process of steady check in with myself?
1. Because I get to choose me and care for me and tend to me.
2. Because our relationship is going to hit a very low ceiling of intimacy, connection, depth, and richness if I am a ticking time bomb of resentment and dysregulation.

A healthy boundary is BOTH self-protective (caring for me) AND loving (caring for you and us).

I want you to FEEL your way into your boundaries- rather than having your therapist or a social media post tell you exactly where to put them. Feel your way into your boundary by checking in with your nervous system.

- When your nervous system is regulated, you feel calm, generous, patient and present.
- When your nervous system is dysregulated, you feel anxious, crabby, distracted, and bitter.

Your boundary is the line between regulated and dysregulated.

There are things we can (and should) do to create more capacity in our nervous systems (see: therapy, mindfulness, movement, breath work, journaling, etc).

These practices are good and healing for us period. But they also help us really learn what regulation even feels like so that we are better able to notice when we’ve moved from calm into cranky. In order to feel our way into a workable and healthy boundary we have to be able to feel and attend to our internal cues. We have to get familiar with that contrast.

Here’s to boundaries that help us heal and connect.

Allow me to introduce myself!

We are so excited to introduce ourselves to the Katy community and beyond.

I’m Dr. Okeke, co-founder and psychiatrist at Muna Psychiatry Group. We specialize in women’s mental health but see every member of the family. In person in Katy, TX and virtually across Texas.

We built Muna around one simple belief: that good psychiatry takes time. Time to listen, time to understand, and time to actually get to know the person sitting across from us.

If you or someone you love has been looking for that kind of care, we would love to connect.
