1. My name is Jessica, and I am the Chief Visionary Officer of Purple Couch Therapy, based in Texas.
2. I am three months postpartum, and this season feels like a shedding, layers falling away as I morph into a different woman.
3. I wish I could say I am allowing my body and life to morph into what they need to be, but many days I am depressed and noticing my resistance to accepting the changes happening in my body, my work, and my life.
4. I am receiving help and learning how to ask for it without apology. I want my daughters to see that it’s normal for many people to love and support their mother.
5. I want my daughters to recognize who shows up for me and understand what care looks like in real time.
6. I am in my own therapy doing deep work around my mother wound. It is uncomfortable, grief-heavy, and necessary.
7. In postpartum, we need emotional and spiritual support in all areas, good partners, care teams, community, and people who can hold us without fixing us.
8. Having ADHD in this season is challenging, my mind wants to move faster than my body allows. Some days that means hibernating and crying, from grief and from joy, and refusing to let joy disappear from my life.
9. In this season, I am offering coaching services to business owners who are neurodivergent, ADHD, and living with chronic illness, helping them build businesses and systems that bend around their lives instead of breaking them. I am working with only three people, and I currently have one space available.
10. I am deeply grateful that we were able to offer therapy services to postpartum women covered by Empower House. The postpartum hormone drop is no joke—it can be identity-shattering and disorienting. Access to care in that window matters, and my team at Purple Couch Therapy continues to show up for clients across Texas and accept insurance so support is not out of reach. That is collective care.
