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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.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

Having More Fun in Motherhood with Ruthie Silver

January 23, 2024 • Episode 81

My word of intention for 2024 is "fun," and this week I am joined by Ruthie Silver, the mom behind the Moms Have More Fun Podcast, to explore the role of fun in our lives as mothers. Ruthie is bringing her own perspective of fun, offering up tips and mindset advice that can bring more fun into each of our lives!

In this conversation, Ruthie and I talk about:

How societal narratives keep moms from experiencing fun in motherhood
Why it's important to set a foundation of caring for yourself
What it can look like to have fun as a mother
Choosing to not subscribe to 'hot mess mom' culture
Ways to romanticize the day to day
Why we don't need permission to have fun (but might be waiting for it)
