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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.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

Energized Motherhood, Fulfilled Life with Nadine Stille
This one is for the mom who is wanting more, whatever that "more" is to her. I am joined by Nadine Stille, a recovering stressed-out mama who supports moms who want to ditch the daily grind and bring more joy into their lives - both at home and at work. We are talking about how to become more energized in motherhood and lead a more fulfilling life.
In this conversation Nadine and I talk about:
- Wanting "more," and what more means to different moms
- Why movement towards goals and dreams can feel scary as a mom
- Learning to listen to the whispers of your heart through the noise in your head
- Deciding which balls can be dropped
- Cultivating more energy into your motherhood & life
A little about our guest:
As a recovering stressed-out Mama who was constantly trying to balance society's expectations to be a perfect mom and an ambitious career woman, Nadine Stille walks alongside moms who realize that they are taking care of everyone else 24/7 but not themselves, aren’t confident in their abilities, battling with Imposter Syndrome, and who's negative emotions like stress and guilt have taken hold of them. The pressure that moms feel is relentless, unique to moms, and is definitely unsustainable, draining moms of joy. Nadine is here to show moms a more balanced and joy-filled way. She helps busy moms realize how powerful and amazing they already are. Together, they'll focus on what works for them specifically for long lasting, sustainable changes that make for a joy-filled life and a fulfilled career. Together with her kiddo and hubby, she lives in Vancouver, Canada. She's lived all over the world, in fact, Canada is her 6th country and she just can’t get enough of these mountains and ocean views! When she's not having fun playing with (or running after) her Little One, you might find her taking a moment for herself with a romance novel.
