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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.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

Showing Up For Your Kids Means Showing Up For Yourself with Analise Garcia
This is Part 1 of a two part conversation on how showing up for ourselves with Analise Garcia, host of The Mommy Mindset Podcast. Together we are exploring the connection between pouring into ourselves - ambitions and all - and our children's abilities to do the same as they grow. Part 2 of this conversation will be available on The Mommy Mindset Podcast later in the week of the release of this episode!
In this episode, Analise and I talk about:
- Supporting and serving as a role model to other moms going through challenging seasons of motherhood
- What it means to have a strong mindset in motherhood
- The problem with comparison, especially when we compare ourselves to women who don't have children
- Intentionally showing up for ourselves
- Why we need to protect our dreams and ambitions
- The legacy we want to leave for our children
