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.

#157: A Summer Without a Schedule: My ADHD Mom Game Plan
If the thought of summer break has your nervous system clenching—hi, you’re not alone. In this honest and unfiltered solo episode, Stacey shares what she’s doing differently this summer as an ADHD mom. Spoiler: it has nothing to do with sticker charts, schedules, or rhythms & routines. Instead, it’s about trusting her gut, working with her energy, and building her capacity to handle the chaos that comes with summer.
You’ll hear:
- How a book (How to Choose by Tara McMullin) cracked something wide open for her
- What Human Design is, and how it’s helped her stop trying to “do summer right”
- Why ADHD moms can fall into the trap of thinking they’re too fragile for this
- How capacity work (inspired by @Raquel_the_capacity_expert) is helping her shift out of that mindset
- A mindset shift for those of you who strongly dislike imaginative floor play
- Her personal mantra for this summer—and how you can borrow it
- What you can expect from the Mother Plus Podcast this summer
This episode is your permission slip to stop forcing and start feeling. You’re stronger than you think, and you don’t have to reinvent yourself this summer. You just have to stay with yourself.
