This Mother + Interior Designer Helps Other Moms Feel Good In Their Home

This show speaks to guilt-ridden women who feel unfulfilled by motherhood—the moms who feel like something is missing in their lives. Its purpose? To help them find themselves again. Whether you're looking to pick up an old hobby or passion you used to have pre-kids, discover a new one, or finally follow through on that career dream or side hustle that's been gnawing at you for years, this is the show for you. The Mother Plus Podcast is a passion and purpose collaborative filled with stories and inspiration from other mothers who have been through it—the sacrifice, the guilt, the self-doubt—and lived to tell their tales. You can learn from their mistakes, their successes, but most of all, their ability to persevere despite how messy and imperfect their journeys were. Hosts Stephanie Sprenger and Stacey Hutson each bring their own unique perspectives to the table, Stephanie, as a mother to a 10 and 15 year old + writer and producer, and Stacey as a mother to a 2 and a 4 years old + writer and creative artist. Are you ready to find yourself again?
