Raising Justice: Everyday Activism For Mothers [IG Live] with Breanne Smith 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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.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.

Raising Justice: Everyday Activism For Mothers [IG Live] with Breanne Smith

July 01, 2025 • Episode 155

This episode is a bit different than normal - but for a good reason! So many moms right now are feeling called to engage in activism while faced with the reality that they can't necessarily leave the kids to hit the streets in protest. Earlier this week, I joined Breanne Smith for an Instagram Live to get her insights on parenting as activism and to answer the question so many moms are asking: What can I do?

The conversation offers tangible actions moms can take from home to support important causes, while also helping reframe the act of parenting as political. From how to have age-appropriate conversations with our kids to ways of engaging in the inner work necessary to create real change, Brea covers so many ways you can get involved and make a difference, starting at home.

Download Brea's free guide 100 Ways to Resist and Raise Change - Without Leaving Home or purchase her book Raising Justice Guide: Parenting and Activism for Everyday Resistance to guide you in your activism journey.
