Cut the Overwhelm: Habits & Routines to Simplify Mom Life with Sally Bisbee Artwork

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.

Overwhelm in motherhood is somewhat inevitable and for many moms, it can be all-consuming at times. This week, Sally Bisbee is joining the podcast to discuss strategies for overwhelmed moms to simplify their lives and create more happiness. Sally shares her own journey of overcoming overwhelm and offers practical tips for moms to reduce stress and reclaim their well-being.

In the episode, Sally and I talk about:

"Operation Happy" and Sally's journey to help other moms beat overwhelm
Reasons behind overwhelm in moms
Simplifying life by creating habits and systems
Getting the kids involved in life simplification
Why focusing on our own happiness benefits our children

A little about our guest:
Sally Bisbee is a Certified Life Coach for overwhelmed moms. A few years ago, she was a constant ball of overwhelm, trying to keep up with the demands of motherhood while trying to still be an awesome mom to her 3 kids. She knew something had to give. Sally spent a few months doing what she calls “Operation Happy” and figured out how to ditch the overwhelm and find her happy again. Now she help overwhelmed moms do the same thing. Through her custom framework called “The Simplify Method,” Sally helps overwhelmed moms simplify their lives by removing both physical and mental clutter, creating lasting habits and routines, and allowing them to create more free time in their lives to do more of the things that make them happy. She helps moms create better boundaries around their time and energy and walks along side them to help them create a life they are excited to wake up to each day.
