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.

Raising Justice: Everyday Activism For Mothers [IG Live] with Breanne Smith
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
