The Sparkle Project
(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 This space challenges those outdated expectations and embraces a more empowered, more supported, more self-honoring version of motherhood.
Hosted by Emily Rose MacDonald, a divorced mom of two on her own journey to shine a little brighter, each episode explores the realities of modern motherhood through a feminist lens that values equity, autonomy, mental health, and the humanity of moms.
You’ll hear conversations about identity, mental health, self-care, healing, and the many ways we can reclaim ourselves in a world that often overlooks the needs of mothers.
If you’re a mom who believes we deserve more than survival, and that our culture has to evolve for moms to truly thrive, you’re in the right place.

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.
