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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.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

The Enneagram: A Tool to Understand & Connect with Yourself with Chelsie Engle
I'm slightly obsessed with the Enneagram, and this week I am joined by Enneagram coach and fellow Type 2, Chelsie Engle to geek out on all things Enneagram & personal growth. The Enneagram is an incredible tool for self-understanding and connection, and Chelsie is diving in on how we can all embrace its teachings in our lives and motherhood experiences.
In the episode we talk about:
- How the Enneagram can be used as a tool for self-awareness
- Differentiating between behaviors and the underlying motivations
- The basics of the 9 types
- Why the Enneagram does not put you in a box
- How we can connect with others through the lens of the Enneagram
