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.

#107: How To Organize and Declutter Your Home When You Have ADHD
Guess what? We found a professional organizer who has ADHD. This episode is all about how to actually get our homes -- and our lives -- in a place that makes our minds feel more at peace. But we're not doing it with the typical organizing advice. Because, as you likely already know, that doesn't work for the ADHD brain.
Today, Esmeralda Simonelli, Steph, and Stace cover all things organizing and decluttering our way.
Here's the Cliff's Notes:
- Newly diagnosed Esmeralda tells her diagnosis story and how it explained a lot about her dating patterns
- A woman with ADHD is much better equipped to help a woman with ADHD organize
- Esmerelda breaks down how to clean a playroom — a technique you can apply to any room
- She also breaks down how to clean a car for the ADHD brain (you’ll love her trick)
- Her #1 trick for keeping your home clutter-free
- The importance of involving your kids in the clean up (yes, even — and especially for — ADHD kids)
- The role emotion plays in decluttering
- How decision paralysis effects women with ADHD
Esmeralda Simonelli is a professional organizer + decluttering expert that specializes in ADHD. Pulling from her career as an occupational therapist, she has been able to help over 95 clients organize their homes and improve their mental health through her unique systems.
As a single mom of three children, 15, 11, 4, with her youngest daughter being autistic, she knows the struggles (and utter chaos) of managing a household. She offers in-home organizing to the Florida area, as well as virtual services to those out of state.
She is offering her virtual organizing session for just $50 per hour (typically $75) until the end of May to the Mother Plus listeners.
