Welcome to the Soft Power Project, a podcast that journals the story of women as they navigate their own transformations. I’m Sherry, a certified coach and your host. In my mid 30s, I made the bold decision to reinvent my life. Now in my 40s, I’m sharing that journey, along with the stories of the women, who inspire me. Like you, we are embracing growth to become our highest selves. Let’s celebrate the power of self-exploration, one story at a time.

Soft Power Coaching Program
It's designed for women who were told they were too sensitive, too nice, too quiet, or never enough, my coaching provides a safe and empowering space to:
- Channel anger into clarity and action (not chaos).
- Define their own power. Soft, bold, or a blend of both.
- Build strong self-connection and boundaries that protect their energy.
- Transform from fixing everyone else’s life to fully living their own.
This isn’t about becoming harder. It’s about becoming whole. Whether you are going through something difficult (divorce, custody battle, leaving toxic relationship) or just yearning for change, this is for you.
