Leveraging Your Cycle to Flourish in Motherhood & Life with Briana Villegas Artwork

The Sparkle Project

(Formerly Worthy Mother Podcast)

The Sparkle Project is a feminist podcast for moms who are done carrying the weight of motherhood alone and are ready to connect with who they truly are - their sparkle, if you will.

So many of us feel overwhelmed not because we’re failing, but because we’re mothering inside a patriarchal system that expects us to give endlessly, stay quiet, and lose ourselves in the process. This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.

Hosted by Emily Rose MacDonald, a divorced mom of two on her own journey to shine a little brighter, each episode explores the realities of modern motherhood through a feminist lens that values equity, autonomy, mental health, and the humanity of moms.

You’ll hear conversations about identity, mental health, self-care, healing, and the many ways we can reclaim ourselves in a world that often overlooks the needs of mothers.

If you’re a mom who believes we deserve more than survival, and that our culture has to evolve for moms to truly thrive, you’re in the right place.

Leveraging Your Cycle to Flourish in Motherhood & Life with Briana Villegas

January 24, 2023 • Emily Rose Hardy • Episode 29

This week I am joined by Cycle Syncing Coach and mom of two Briana Villegas for an enlightening conversation on how to work with our menstrual cycles instead of fighting against them. This is a conversation I knew very little about to begin with, and I hope you find it as educational and inspiring as I did.

In this episode, Briana and I talk about:

The 4 distinct phases of the menstrual cycle
How our cycles can impact our energy levels
Why men and women work differently
Considerations for planning your days, weeks, and months
Checking in with your energy level and moods
The reasons our cycle has such an impact on our lives

A little about our guest:
Briana Villegas is a cycle syncing coach who is on a mission to bring the conversation around periods out of the menstrual health niche into our everyday. She believes that our cycles and our hormones affect so much more than fertility and periods! Whether you are an entrepreneur, climbing the corporate ladder, running a household, or all of the above — when you align your to-do list(s) with your cycle everything gets easier. Briana helps her clients ditch the pressure to be the same everyday and to give themselves permission to live cyclically in a society that wasn't built for it.

To connect with Briana, follow her on Instagram @brianavillegascoaching, or visit her website www.brianavillegas.com.
