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.

#116: What Do You Do When You Can't Stop Thinking About Bad Things That Could Happen?
Catastrophizing: An irrationally negative forecast of future events.
This is a common ADHD trait. When your thoughts are hyperactive, it's hard not to go down rabbit holes. And some of them can be pretty scary and depressing.
Today, Stacey shares her personal experience with catastrophizing, and the two things she's doing to tame her negative thoughts of the future.
If you, too, have catastrophizing thoughts and want to find a place where you can share your experience and bond with other women who understand, please join us in the AHD Moms Club.
Come hang out with us! We're weird in all the best ways.
