Cut the Overwhelm: Habits & Routines to Simplify Mom Life with Sally Bisbee Artwork

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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.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

Cut the Overwhelm: Habits & Routines to Simplify Mom Life with Sally Bisbee

January 14, 2025 • Emily Rose Hardy • Episode 131

Overwhelm in motherhood is somewhat inevitable and for many moms, it can be all-consuming at times. This week, Sally Bisbee is joining the podcast to discuss strategies for overwhelmed moms to simplify their lives and create more happiness. Sally shares her own journey of overcoming overwhelm and offers practical tips for moms to reduce stress and reclaim their well-being.

In the episode, Sally and I talk about:

"Operation Happy" and Sally's journey to help other moms beat overwhelm
Reasons behind overwhelm in moms
Simplifying life by creating habits and systems
Getting the kids involved in life simplification
Why focusing on our own happiness benefits our children

A little about our guest:
Sally Bisbee is a Certified Life Coach for overwhelmed moms. A few years ago, she was a constant ball of overwhelm, trying to keep up with the demands of motherhood while trying to still be an awesome mom to her 3 kids. She knew something had to give. Sally spent a few months doing what she calls “Operation Happy” and figured out how to ditch the overwhelm and find her happy again. Now she help overwhelmed moms do the same thing. Through her custom framework called “The Simplify Method,” Sally helps overwhelmed moms simplify their lives by removing both physical and mental clutter, creating lasting habits and routines, and allowing them to create more free time in their lives to do more of the things that make them happy. She helps moms create better boundaries around their time and energy and walks along side them to help them create a life they are excited to wake up to each day.
