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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.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

Breaking Generational Cycles of Unworthiness with Dr. Stephanie Snyder
We all have inherent worth, yet patterns of feelings of unworthiness often persist through generations. This week I'm joined by Dr. Stephanie Snyder for a conversation on breaking generational cycles of unworthiness - for ourselves, generations before us, and generations to follow. There is so much empowerment in knowing that we have the ability to give our children a different experience than self-worth than we may have had.
In this episode, Stephanie and I talk about:
- Inherent worth and the experience of feeling unworthy
- Uncovering our self-worth behind closed doors
- How becoming a mother can impact our sense of knowingness
- What it means to break generational cycles of unworthiness for past generations
- How embodying our worth can impact our children for the better
- Unlinking our worth from what we do
A little about our guest:
Dr. Stephanie Snyder is a Navy wife and mother to 4 beautiful children. She is a mentor, speaker, and joy seeker. Through her simplified methods, she teaches women how to make the most of their time and resources while still being present with their families and easily creating the life they desire. When Stephanie isn't spending time with her family or growing her business she enjoys horseback riding and competing in marathons and triathlons. Stephanie's vision is to support women to create what they desire in a way that feels great, while emphasizing self-care without guilt and shame to make the most of the life we have.
