Regulating Your Nervous System & Reconnecting With Yourself with Avril Brown 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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.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.

Regulating Your Nervous System & Reconnecting With Yourself with Avril Brown

June 06, 2023 • Episode 48

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
