Today, we're going to talk about what it means to be a mother + unorganized, messy, scatterbrained adult. Join Stacey as she very openly shares about her most embarrassing quality, and what happened when she did something about it. In this episode, we cover:It was generally acceptable for me to be a quirky, forgetful, unorganized person when I was a kid and a teenager. But it was no longer acceptable when I became an adult (read: Wife, Homeowner, and Mom).There is a lot of shame that comes with being messy and unorganized. I thought I was stupid, inept, and lazy. Something was wrong with me. How “fixing it” with typical cleaning and organizing advice DID NOT WORK.My discovery of KC Davis, executive functioning, and the revolutionary message of: Care tasks are morally neutral.I share my three takeaways that have changed the way I think about myself and my ability to do care tasksStacey is the host (along with Stephanie Sprenger) of the Mother Plus Podcast. She is mother to two loud, full-of-life girls, ages 3 and 5. Before-Children Stacey couldn't stop talking about her future children. And by now, she thought she'd be totally immersed in motherhood, happily sitting on the floor, “doing voices,” tickling tummies, and trying desperately to hold on to every precious moment. But instead, she found herself on that same floor reminiscing about the days when she was a writer (published in Paleo Magazine, Hub Spot, New You Magazine, and TheList.com), an ad girl (working on brands like Revlon, Green Toys, Enjoy Life, and Eco Tools), and health nut badass (with a successful food blog, health coaching certification, and stint as a personal chef).Mentioned in this episode:KC Davis of Struggle CareHer website: https://www.strugglecare.com/Her podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/struggle-care/id1643931456MOTHER PLUS INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/mother_plus_podcast/MOTHER PLUS FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/motherpluspodcastMOTHER PLUS PERMISSION SLIP: https://www.motherplusser.com/Permission-SlipMOTHER PLUS NEWSLETTER: https://www.motherplusser.com/signup-pageMOTHER PLUS BLOG: https://www.motherplusser.com/blog

In this solo Stacey episode, we cover: How childhood birthday celebrations raise the bar on birthday expectations, making it difficult to swallow a low-key, adulthood birthday.What do birthdays look like when you become a mom? (Especially in those early days).Stacey's perfect birthday “me day” + Dozens of ideas from listeners on how to indulge yourself on your birthday, even when you're a mom.How can we change perspective on our birthdays and make it more about celebrating ourselves (because we're amazing and we deserve it)How can we stop waiting for our birthdays to celebrate ourselves?About Stacey:Stacey Hutson, co-host of the Mother Plus Podcast is a mother + writer, entrepreneur, and athlete. She is a mother to two could-not-be-more-different daughters, ages 2 and 5. Though they are adorable, hysterical, and quite possibly creative geniuses, she's not here to talk about them.

Next on the list for her is to learn hip hop dancing, revisit one of her favorite places in the world - the Karaoke stage, and finally publish one of the three books safely saved in her Microsoft Word documents for nobody to see.For more about the Mother Plus Podcast, visitwww.MotherPlusser.comhttps://www.instagram.com/mother_plus_podcast/

Join Stacey in this mini episode as she remembers why she started this podcast in the first place, how it came to be, and what it felt like to lose herself in motherhood, and then find herself again. In it, she reads a piece that she wrote for the live stage show, Listen To Your Mother called "Remembering Her." Join Stacey in remembering: Saturday night karaoke and the "going out" daysDining out with her husband without kidsFarmer's Market trips when her time there was slow and intentionalCareer-ladder climbing at her ad agency90's TV binge-ing, and going "back in time" to her childhoodHer friends, and the way things used to beAbout Stacey:Stacey Hutson, co-host of the Mother Plus Podcast is a mother + writer, entrepreneur, and athlete.

#008 - If you're like most other entrepreneurs, then the way you think about success is completely backward.In this episode, I sit down with Robert Von Goeben, a former Silicon Valley venture capitalist turned entrepreneur. He started Green Toys, which recently was acquired by a private equity company.Robert has experienced a lot of life. As he says, he has a lot of miles under his wheels.Early in his career, Robert had a warped idea of what 'success' meant. Now, Robert shares his wisdom on how you, as an entrepreneur (and as a person), can think about success in a healthier way.

We create so much waste. We don’t recycle enough, and we throw out tons of textile waste every year with no thought of the impact it has on our planet. In 2017, I visited the largest landfill in East Africa, the Dandora dump in Kenya. It was a horrifying and life-changing experience that made me think twice about my habits. We are to be good stewards of the Earth God gave us, so let’s explore little changes in our habits that can collectively make a massive difference. Here are 31 ways you can live more sustainability and reduce your negative impact on the environment by creating less waste: 1. Use reusable straws: You can find glass and metal reusable straws on Amazon. When asked if you want one at a restaurant, you can tell them know, and keep one handy at home, in the car, and in your bag 2. Bring a fork and knife with you to restaurants that use plastic cutlery. You can purchase ones for carrying while you’re traveling or just out to eat. 3. Switch to reusable water bottles, coffee mugs, and/or drink tumblers. You can travel with them and fill them at water fountains.  4. Coffee lovers: Switch to a French Press or pour overs. 5. Tea lovers: Switch to loose-leaf tea instead of using tea bags. For more on reducing waste from coffee and tea use: https://www.treehugger.com/htgg/how-to-go-green-coffee-tea.html 6. Switch to reusable, zero-waste bath products from companies like Plaine Products. They’ll send the you the product and when you’re done, you mail it back to be refilled and used again. Here’s my review of their products. Follow this link Stillbeingmolly.com/plaineproducts and use the code “Molly” for 20% off. Click here for more on my interview with Plaine Products founder, Lindsey Mccoy.  7. Use refillable soaps and household cleaners through brands like Fillaree or Mama Suds. Fillaree is based in Durham, NC, and if you’re local, you can visit one of their refilling stations in the area. Fillaree also sells compostable sponges. Michelle of Mama Suds has also been on the podcast, and sells a concentrated household cleaner that you can refill along with a lot of other refillables: https://www.mamasuds.com/ 8. Put a recycling bin or bag in your bathroom for bath products and walk it to the main recycling bin when it’s full. 9. Reusable grocery bags: It’s easy to forget them, so create a space for them in the trunk of your car and be sure to immediately put them back when you’re finished using them. 10. Reusable produce bags greatly cut down on plastic use! They come in different sizes and are washable. Keep them in your car with the reusable grocery bags so they’re always at the ready. 11. Get your produce from the farmers market, local produce stands, or join a local CSA. This reduces both your carbon and plastic footprint. 12. Buy in bulk: Shop for staple ingredients like nuts, lentils, and spices in bulk. Remember to bring a reusable bag or mason jar when shopping bulk items. You can keep them in your trunk with the produce and grocery bags.  13. Switch to reusable plastic wrap. Beeswax Wrap is works just like plastic wrap, is biodegradable, and is washable and usable up to 100 times. 14. Reusable snack bags and lunch containers reduce plastic waste in daily lunches and work well for travel. 15. Switch to cloth napkins. This is also a great way to use textile waste that can’t be donated or thrifted. 16. Use reusable kitchen towels or rags to cut down on paper towel waste. 17. Switch from tissues to handkerchiefs.  18. Switch out cotton balls or rounds for reusable muslin cloths. They’re great for removing makeup and nail polish. 19. Purchase a makeup removal cloth like the Endure Lash Eye Cloth, which only uses water to remove 99% of your makeup. 20. For the ladies: Use a menstrual cup instead of tampons. 21. Another one for the ladies: Instead of a pad, check out “momma cloth.” In addition to reducing waste, they’re more comfortable, save money, and don’t contain harmful chemicals! 22. Switch to cloth diapers instead of disposable diapers. Check out a recent blog post for what I learned after 5 years of using cloth diapers: https://www.stillbeingmolly.com/2019/03/19/cloth-diapering-basics-101/ 23. Who Gives A Crap? is a toilet paper company with the best name ever. Their products are made out of recyclable materials, and they donate 50% of their profits to help build toilets for those in need. 24. Rechargeable batteries are an easy way to save money and the planet! 25. Consign or trade old clothes: Check out podcast Episode 130 to about hear ways you can sustainably get rid clothing in your closet. 26. Before you throw something out, be sure to ask these questions: Can I repair it? If I can’t repair it, is there another use for it? How can I sustainably can I dispose of it? 27. Buy toys more sustainably. Can you buy them used? Can you buy a version that’s not plastic? Can you buy a wooden version? And while you’re thinking about that, check out Green Toys, made from recyclable plastics. 28. Go paperless. Contact any businesses you receive a bill from and ask to go paperless. This cuts down on jump mail, and saves them money too, so they should be happy to oblige. 29. Unsubscribe from unwanted magazines or catalogues from Catalogue Choice and DMA Choice. 30. Borrow books from the library for the kids AND for yourself! Tip: Keep a book bin by the door as a reminder to return library books and avoid late charges. 31. Compost! It can feel overwhelming, but there are services to help. Compost Now is currently in a few cities in North Carolina, Charleston, SC, and Atlanta, GA. Not only will they guide you through how to compost, they’ll also pick up your bin and exchange it for a new one. You can also request the compost and they’ll deliver it to you. Go to http://stillbeingmolly.com/compostnow for a two-week trial. No need to feel overwhelmed: Pick a few tips to implement and start reducing your impact. You can add more as you go, and you’ll like save money along the way. Have you tried any of these ways to reduce waste? Are you going to? Let me know what you learned or what you want to implement next!
