Emily Rose MacDonald

(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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more

2024/06/11

Send us a Text Message.There's been a push over the last few years to pull away from "hot mess mom" culture, because moms don't have to be sacrificing themselves and showing up disheveled and drained to be considered "good enough." And I'm 100% on board with that. I am a huge proponent of moms prioritizing and taking care of themselves, and completely do not support messages that say otherwise. But here's the thing, I've always been a "hot mess," and becoming mother definitely did not make th...

2024/05/21

Hannah Olson is redefining motherhood, and while her take may be hard to wrap your head around at first, it's actually quite simple. What she's saying is that motherhood is a relationship, and caregiving is a job - all those messages we get about laundry, vacuuming, even changing diapers and driving the kids to practice being "mom tasks," it's B.S. Yes, many moms are the primary caregiver to their children, and that is amazing! But motherhood is about the relationship we share with our childr...

2024/05/07

Maternal ambivalence is an “experience shared variously by all mothers in which loving and hating feelings for their children exist side by side,” according to psychotherapist Rozsika Parker. These complex, often contradictory feelings mothers so often feel are completely normal - especially in the context we are all currently raising children in. And yet for so many mothers, there is guilt and shame surrounding not always feeling “positive” or acceptable emotions about our role or our childr...
