When It’s Time to Evolve: What’s Next For Worthy Mother Podcast 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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.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.

When It’s Time to Evolve: What’s Next For Worthy Mother Podcast

November 25, 2025 • Episode 176

You’re tuning in to the final episode of Worthy Mother Podcast as we know it... But this is only just the beginning!

In January 2026, the podcast will return, but things will be different.

In this episode, Emily shares the pull she felt toward evolution after major personal growth, why she couldn’t ignore it any longer, and how this next chapter will honor the mission that has guided the podcast since the beginning: challenging societal expectations on moms and exploring the nuances of modern motherhood through honest conversations.

You’ll hear about the moment Emily recognized she had outgrown what she created, the internal questions that helped her realign, and the kind of space required to choose intentional growth even in the chaos of motherhood. You’ll also get a glimpse into what’s coming in January 2026: A new name, a new look, and an evolved direction that reflects the shifts happening in Emily’s life and work.

If you’ve ever felt a quiet nudge that something in your life is ready to shift, this episode offers grounding prompts you can use to explore where that pull is leading you, and an example to follow in your own evolutional journey.
