Sherry Fang, mom to an 11-year-old and based in Taiwan, has worn many hatsโfrom 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 โviolent yearโ, 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:
๐ฅ Can you build a career from nothingย
๐ What if divorce and launching a company in the same year was the breakthrough you didnโt see coming?
๐ฉโ๐ฆ Is time the only measure of motherhoodโor is independence the gift we donโt talk about?
๐ข What changes when you stop hiding and let yourself feel everything?
๐จ What if the โright pathโ never felt rightโbecause you were meant to create something entirely your own?
