(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.

You’ll hear conversations about identity, mental health, self-care, healing, and the many ways we can reclaim ourselves in a
