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.

Regulating Your Nervous System & Reconnecting With Yourself with Avril Brown
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I am joined by Avril Brown, a coach and mind body practitioner, for a powerful conversation on reconnecting to ourselves and regulating our nervous systems as mothers. This conversation was exactly what I needed in this particular spot in my motherhood journey, and I hope you will find it as enlightening and empowering as I did.
In this episode, Avril and I chat about:
- Why women are so often disconnected from themselves physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually
- How our children can challenge us and open the door to healing
- The way our own childhood experiences impact how we exist as adults
- What nervous system dysregulation may look like in your own life
- The somatic approach to regulating our nervous systems
- Learning alongside our children
