The Sparkle Project
The version of motherhood we're sold looks nothing like the one we're actually living. That's by design.
The Sparkle Project is for the moms who are done pretending otherwise, and ready to reclaim the parts of themselves that got lost along the way. Hosted by Emily MacDonald, a single mom, feminist, and late-diagnosed ADHDer, each episode digs into the identity shifts, invisible labor, and systemic failures that make motherhood so hard. You'll hear from the experts, advocates, and real women who are finding their way back to themselves, so you can feel less alone in the hard parts and more like yourself in all the rest.
Somewhere between the mental load and the mom guilt, your shine is still there. The Sparkle Project is your space to find it.

Showing Up For Your Kids Means Showing Up For Yourself with Analise Garcia

This is Part 1 of a two part conversation on how showing up for ourselves with Analise Garcia, host of The Mommy Mindset Podcast. Together we are exploring the connection between pouring into ourselves - ambitions and all - and our children's abilities to do the same as they grow. Part 2 of this conversation will be available on The Mommy Mindset Podcast later in the week of the release of this episode!
In this episode, Analise and I talk about:
- Supporting and serving as a role model to other moms going through challenging seasons of motherhood
- What it means to have a strong mindset in motherhood
- The problem with comparison, especially when we compare ourselves to women who don't have children
- Intentionally showing up for ourselves
- Why we need to protect our dreams and ambitions
- The legacy we want to leave for our children
