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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.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

Get Unstuck: Rewiring Your Brain For Change with Faith Hoskins
Our brains are incredible - and we have so much power to use our brains as tools to get us where we want to go life. In this episode with change and neuroplasticity coach Faith Hoskins, we are addressing how we can rewire our brains for change. As mothers who may feel stuck in the way we are "supposed to" be doing things, this can be a remarkable skill for breaking free from the "shoulds" to do what we actually want.
In this episode, Faith and I talk about:
- What neuroplasticity means for our brains
- The impact that pursuing our dreams and desires can have on our kids
- How to lean into desire withoutallowing limiting beliefs to hold you back
- The actual process of "rewiring" our brains
- How to change the thought, "I'm not enough," or any other thought that may be holding you back
- Actionable tips to start changing your brain
