The MotherSparker podcast

Show Notes: Ever have one of those days where you just feel flat, drained, foggy, and a bit disconnected from yourself? You’re not alone, my love!. In this episode, I share how I hit that wall recently and decided to go through my own 30-Minute MotherSparker Reset — the exact process I created to help mums feel lighter, clearer, and more like themselves again. You’ll hear what I did (spoiler: it i...

In this short and reflective episode, I take you with me on a walk through the New Forest, sniffly nose 'n all, to explore what nature can teach us about letting go. As the trees shed their leaves, I muse on the beauty of being laid bare, the strength that comes from seeing our true shape, and the courage it takes to release what no longer serves us. I share stories of grief, growth, and the s...

Ever look back and wonder about the life you didn’t live? The career that never happened, the version of you that took a different turn? Or how big your hair might have been if you'd followed your 80's/90's heroine? In this episode, I explore the tender, funny, and sometimes bittersweet process of grieving the lives we didn’t live. From the myth of “having it all” to the quiet beauty o...

Ever rolled your eyes at the phrase “hold space”? Yep, me too… until I realised what it really means. In this episode, we explore the quiet power of presence, the beauty of not having all the answers, and how simply being there can transform our relationships and our motherhood. Holding Space might sound like a buzzword, but the end result of holding space is something quite magical. If you are cr...

Ever find yourself wide awake at 2am with a brain full of to-do lists, school forms, and mental tabs that never seem to close? You’re not alone, lovely. In this episode, we’re getting real about the *invisible mental load* that so many mothers carry — the unseen planning, remembering, soothing, and managing that keeps family life running. It’s not just about what we *do*, but what we *hold*. We’ll...

In this episode of The MotherSparker Podcast, I open up about what it feels like to lose yourself under the endless roles of motherhood and caregiving. From advocate to fixer, organiser to emotional buffer, I’ve worn them all — but somewhere along the way, I forgot what it felt like to simply be Jaci. This isn’t about regret, it’s about awareness. It’s about peeling back the layers, gently redisco...

Ever found yourself wondering who you are without your labels? In this rather personal episode of The Mother Sparker Podcast, I’m reflecting on the messy, emotional space that follows decades of motherhood, advocacy & carer burnout— when the labels start to fade and you’re left wondering, Who am I now? I mean honestly, who TF even am I? From postnatal depression to parenting through complex me...

I talk about Simple Abundance , emotional refr...

In this reflective episode, I share the story of being deeply moved by an artist who opens her home to host other creatives — for the simple joy of connection, expression and helping other artists. It got me thinking about how often we underestimate the impact we have on others — how one person’s quiet generosity, passion or creativity can ripple out far beyond what they ever see. Whether you’re a...

In this episode, I’m sharing my reflections from spending three solo days at Elevate Festival — a space filled with Dance, massage, sound baths, breathwork, and deep soul energy. But the biggest shift didn’t come from a workshop or a treatment (but they helped!) — it came from being completely on my own. No one to check in on. No one else’s energy to manage, no family dynamics to fret about. Just...

With that honesty we decid...
