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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.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.

Making Career Decisions With Clarity As A Mother with Andrea Barr

February 28, 2023 • Episode 34

Making big decisions can be hard no matter what, but when it comes to making career decisions as a mother, the challenges can feel endless. Luckily, career coach Andrea Barr is here to help us find clarity in the decision making process. As someone who has changed careers while raising my own kids, this conversation meant a lot to me. Even if you are not looking to make any careers moves any time soon, a lot of what we talk about can be applied to all kinds of decision making in life and parenthood.

In this episode, Andrea and I chat about:

Why people often make shifts in their careers after having kids
The difference in changing careers as an individual and as a parent
Coming back to yourself
Where you should start if you are looking to change jobs
Why support having support with big decisions is so important

A little about our guest:
Andrea Barr is a certified career coach, a podcast host and most importantly, a mom. After establishing herself in the advertising sector early in her career, she made a shift to learning and development within the corporate world. As a new mother, she was struck by a lack of support for parents looking to find a balance between their career ambitions and family lives, and decided to fill that gap. Andrea offers support and solutions for parents who want to advance their careers without compromising what matters most: their families.
