Soft Power Project
Podcast Description
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. For any questions, please find me at [email protected] Talk to you soon!
Podcast Insights
Content Themes
This podcast focuses on themes of personal transformation, empowerment, and self-discovery, with episodes tackling topics such as navigating life pivots, the perception of desperation, and the exploration of identity. For example, the second episode delves into the often-negative connotations of feeling desperate and how this state can lead to unexpected opportunities, while the first episode features an interview with Debbie Wu discussing career pivots and the courage required to embrace change.
The Soft Power Project is a podcast about the courage it takes to become who you’re meant to be. Through intimate conversations and personal stories, host Sherry Fang journals the journeys of women navigating reinvention, uncertainty, and growth. This podcast explores the messy middle — the quiet seasons, the pivots, and the moments that don’t always make it onto highlight reels.
The intention is simple: to remove the shame around starting over and remind women that transformation is rarely linear.
Through shared stories and practical insights, The Soft Power Project encourages women to trust themselves, embrace change, and move toward the next version of their lives with softness and strength.

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.

Danielle Frank thought she was on the path to motherhood. Then her engagement ended, and she had to rewrite the story entirely.
Sherry and Danielle talk about what happens when the future you pictured doesn’t arrive. From Hollywood to wine and spirits to writing a rhyming book that teaches parents to let their kids breathe like a good Cabernet. Danielle reads from A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting and reframes every pivot as a new path, not a detour.
This conversation goes somewhere warm and unexpected.
