The Sparkle Project
The version of motherhood we're sold looks nothing like the one we're actually living. That's by design.
The Sparkle Project is for the moms who are done pretending otherwise, and ready to reclaim the parts of themselves that got lost along the way. Hosted by Emily MacDonald, a single mom, feminist, and late-diagnosed ADHDer, each episode digs into the identity shifts, invisible labor, and systemic failures that make motherhood so hard. You'll hear from the experts, advocates, and real women who are finding their way back to themselves, so you can feel less alone in the hard parts and more like yourself in all the rest.
Somewhere between the mental load and the mom guilt, your shine is still there. The Sparkle Project is your space to find it.

Exposing The Invisible Load on Moms with Valerie Recore
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week I am joined by productivity specialist and Certified Fair Play Method Facilitator Valerie Recore for a conversation on the invisible load that so many moms face in their daily lives. Valerie helps us to understand why moms tend to have so much on their plates, and what we can do to reclaim our time and live a life more aligned with the things we truly want.
In the episode, Valerie and I talk about:
- What the invisible load actually refers to
- The mental toll that caring for everyone and everything can have on moms
- How we can get time back for ourselves
- Getting clear on and communicating expectations
- Implementing Eve Rodsky's Fair Play Method in the home
- The importance of doing the things we want to do
