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.

Saving My Daughter From Heartbreak: A Story From The Live Stage Show About Motherhood
When you’re a mom, and you surround yourselves with moms telling their motherhood stories, baring their souls, laughing, crying, and being brutally honest, it is a powerful thing.
Listen To Your Mother is a national series of live storytelling shows where local writers share their original pieces about motherhood. And today, Steph brings you the piece she read at last year's show.
The story is called “Heartbreak And The Young Entrepreneur.” It’s all about her young daughter’s entrepreneurial efforts, and the disappointment that comes with them. Hard for her daughter, but even harder for mommy to watch. As Steph says,
"I am unable to watch my child descend into perceived worthlessness without desperately trying to convince her of her excellence."
Tune in for a short but powerful piece that will have you thinking about how you want to empower your own daughter or son.
Listen To Your Mother will be this Saturday, May 4th at the Boulder Theater.
