How to Put Your Identity First (& Why You Shouldn't Wait Until You're An Empty Nester) with Amanda Torres 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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.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.

How to Put Your Identity First (& Why You Shouldn't Wait Until You're An Empty Nester) with Amanda Torres

October 03, 2023 • Episode 65

For so many of us, we put our roles first - whether it's our titles as mom, wife, or the job position we hold, our identity is tied to how we exist in relation to others. This week I am joined by women's empowerment & personal growth advocate and empty nester Amanda Torres for a powerful conversation on identity, identity, our roles, and learning to recognize our worth as an individual. Whether your kids have yet to start kindergarten, or they've already flown the coop, there is so much actionable advice here for you to connect back with who you are outside of motherhood.

In this conversation, Amanda and I chat about:

The life transitions that often lead to reevaluating our identity
How to check in with yourself regularly as your kids are growing up
Why the way you introduce yourself matters
Preparing for the "empty nest" stage of parenthood
EFT tapping as a tool for healing and connecting with self
