Worthy Mother Podcast

Being a mom is hard — and not because you’re not good enough. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing or struggling under the weight of guilt and overwhelm, you are not alone. Worthy Mother Podcast is here to validate your experience, challenge the unrealistic expectations placed on moms, and remind you that you are worthy exactly as you are.

Hosted by Emily Rose MacDonald, a certified Motherhood Studies Practitioner and mom of two, this podcast explores the realities of modern motherhood, mental health, mom guilt, societal pressures, self-care, and the importance of connection. Through honest conversations with real moms and expert guests — along with solo episodes that dig deep into what makes motherhood so complicated — you’ll find validation, support, and the reminder that it’s not just you; it’s the system.

If you're ready to release the guilt, embrace self-compassion, and reclaim your identity in motherhood, this podcast is for you. Glad you’re here!

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.
