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.

Motherhood & Creative Expression: Finding Yourself After Kids with Kayla Huszar
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"I'm not really a creative person." Have you ever said that line, especially since having kids? Most people have a narrow understanding of what it means to be creative, and Expressive Arts Therapist Kayla Huszar is joining the podcast to explain how creative expression can actually be the path towards healing and reconnecting with ourselves in postpartum and beyond.
In the episode, we discuss:
- Researched-backed benefits of creativity in wellness
- How metaphors can be used as a tool for healing
- How we've been conditioned out of expression from a young age
- Expressing yourself to reconnect with who you are
- The Four Wave Framework for healing through motherhood
This episode is for every mother who wants to experience the fulfillment and joy that comes from true self-expression. Creativity is for you.
