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.

#152: Why You Can’t Declutter as an ADHD Woman (And What to Do Instead)
You know the clutter isn’t just about stuff. It’s about energy. It’s about worth. And for ADHD moms, it’s also about survival.
In Part 2 of our ADHD Energy Series, Stacey dives into the unseen cost of the piles, the mess, and the chaos—not just on our homes, but on our nervous systems. This isn’t a five-step how-to. It’s an honest, deeply relatable look at why decluttering feels so impossible for ADHD women—and how clearing your space might actually be clearing your subconscious.
💥 We cover:
- Why ADHD brains are extra sensitive to “energy clutter”
- The emotional weight of unfinished business (hello, five laundry baskets)
- The “worthiness wound” behind our mess
- The ADHD dopamine-cleaning spiral—and what comes after
- How Stacey’s closet became a portal to her future self
This one is personal. It's not about organizing for the aesthetic—it's about coming home to yourself.
✨ Ready to shift your energy? Start with the sock pile. Or the alarm list on your phone. Your clutter is not just a mess. It’s a mirror.
