Hi, I’m Emily - a wife, #boymom, and simplicity seeker. I struggled to get pregnant and felt completely overwhelmed - until I discovered decluttering could create the physical and emotional space I needed to become a mom. Now, two kids later, I’ve transformed my life and motherhood by developing simple systems around decluttering, capsule wardrobes, kids stuff, cleaning and tidying, meal planning, time management, and more- and I can’t wait to share them with you! If you’re ready to reclaim the time and energy you crave, be present with your kids, and finally enjoy the life and motherhood you SO deserve - let’s kick overwhelm to the curb, shall we?

    199 // You’re Not Failing! How Moms with ADHD Need to Approach Decluttering Differently - with Stacey Hutson and Stephanie Sprenger from The Mother Plus Podcast
    Jul 10 2025

    If you are a mom with ADHD who constantly feels like she’s failing when it comes to managing your home, this episode is for you.

    In Episode 199 I’m chatting with Stacey Hutson and Stephanie Sprenger, two ADHD moms of four girls ages 4-18 are the hosts of the Mother Plus podcast, a podcast for moms with ADHD--for "too much" moms who feel like they are failing at motherhood and don't want to fail anymore.

    We talk about how ADHD brains experience clutter differently, how to work with your brain when it’s wired for interest rather than importance, and the critical foundation you NEED to have in place before you start decluttering.

    Resources Mentioned:

    Connect with Stacey and Steph on Instagram, join the ADHD Moms Club, and listen to the Mother Plus podcast
