About this listen

 Sherry Fang, mom to an 11-year-old and based in Taiwan, has worn many hats—from stay-at-home mom to single mom, executive coach, podcaster, and brand specialist. At 35, her life was turned upside down by a painful divorce and the bold decision to start her own consultancy. Despite experiencing what she called a “violent year”, Sherry pushed forward with no formal business plans or prior experience to launch her consultancy and two impactful podcasts: The Executive Plus (Apple & Spotify Top 50 podcast with >1.3 million downloads), and The Soft Power Project, which explores the powerful transformations women undergo when they combine strength with softness.In this intimate conversation, we talked about:👥 Can you build a career from nothing 💔 What if divorce and launching a company in the same year was the breakthrough you didn’t see coming?👩‍👦 Is time the only measure of motherhood—or is independence the gift we don’t talk about?😢 What changes when you stop hiding and let yourself feel everything?🎨 What if the “right path” never felt right—because you were meant to create something entirely your own?—-------------------------------------------------------------Chapters:00:00 What divorce taught me (that I never expected)01:21 Welcome to Make It Work01:59 Is life truly "starting over again and again"?03:58 The "violent" year: Divorce, business, and transformation 07:39 What coaching revealed to me (it’s not what you think)24:40 Why believe less, celebrate less?25:16 How I juggle motherhood/career30:08 Being a top podcaster:: lessons learnt36:54 What is Soft Power all about?—------------------------------------------------------------Follow Sherry here:👋 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1xDeKFTTBH45GUbZL77V5G?si=1T26Ifd9QfaWPPnT_EFgGA👋 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/tw/podcast/soft-power-project/id1795635125👋 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SoftPowerProject👋 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soft_power_project👋 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sherryfang83/ Watch more:Unexpectedly Flourishing: The Unforeseen Benefits of a Career Downshift with Sharon Fan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtoRL21T2vcHow This Mom Built a Million-Dollar Brand with Zero Marketing - Cheryl Yeo: https://youtu.be/Gz0dPLB74BM?si=9OpJFlCE-AAy0rFySME vs Big Tech: Why Small Might Be The BEST Career Move! - Louisa Lee: https://youtu.be/7pSNn8KZMZ0?si=Y2vWnNJrSvobwpdEChildren' s Book Author: Why The Stories We Tell Our Kids And Ourselves-Matter: https://youtu.be/PhWeM3XZQC0?si=WS3Emu0XroWHfQ4gHow to Design a Calm Home (And Life) That Actually Works for Your Family! - Winnie Tam : https://youtu.be/iPBCdz6oq74?si=U5DAaa27SjMFumNEFollow and connect with Sarah & Make It Work! ⁠https://linktr.ee/makeitwork.podcast⁠📷 ⁠Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/makeitwork.asia/💼⁠LinkedIn⁠: https://www.linkedin.com/company/make-it-work-asia-podcast/🎵 ⁠Facebook⁠: https://www.facebook.com/people/Make-It-Work/61566472637714/🍏Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/make-it-work/id1701442085🎵Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/78ulY0B27nYxGB6jPCABPI?si=abfc48d037d943be📥⁠Email⁠: makeitwork.asia@gmail.comJoin our free ⁠Mommas Making It Work whatsapp community⁠: https://bit.ly/MIWcommunity—-------------------------------Stay tuned to our channel for more 🌟 ➤ Thank you for your support!🧡💙🧡 Please share your feedback on our video conversation in the comments box👏👏💙 Help us make quality interviews by leaving a comment (stay-at-home mom, working mom, single mom, divorce, executive coach, communications coach, podcaster, personal branding, motherhood and career, work-life balance, female leadership, parenting tips, women entrepreneurs, career transition, branding strategy, mompreneur)#MakeItWorkPodcast #Divorce #WorkingMomLife #WomenInBusiness #CareerChange #SingleMomJourney #PersonalGrowth #ExecutiveCoach #PodcastInterview #MentalHealth #PersonalGrowth #MomReinvented #BossMomLife
