Mother Plus Podcast
This is the podcast for "too much" moms who feel like they are failing at motherhood and don't want to fail anymore. Your hosts, Stacey Hutson and Stephanie Sprenger, two ADHD moms of four girls ages 4-18, most definitely don't have it all figured out. But we know one thing for sure: understanding our brains is the key to enjoying our motherhood, and our SELVES again.
Here, we are brutally honest about our ADHD motherhoods (the missed Spirit Weeks, the mountains of laundry, the nostalgia for our old "fun" pre-mom selves) so you know you're not the only one struggling.
When we don't know the answers, or aren't qualified to give them, we bring on the experts. Mental health therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, women's doctors -- we want to learn from them all. Because we believe once you know how to work WITH your ADHD brain rather than against it, it changes everything.
You found your people. We're them. And you're ours. Let's figure this out together.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As ADHD moms, we carry an impossible mental load. The endless to-do lists, the forgotten appointments, the last-minute scrambling—it’s exhausting. But what if you didn’t have to do it all alone?
In this episode, Steph shares her personal journey from complete overwhelm as a single ADHD mom, to actual relief after working with Faye, a service that pairs busy families with expert advisors to manage the mental load. She dives into:
✨ The hidden guilt moms feel about asking for help
✨ How Faye changed everything—both practically and emotionally
✨ Why outsourcing isn’t a failure, it’s a gift to yourself
If you’re tired of drowning, it’s time to take something off your plate.
