Navigating Life's Transitions With Belief with Sarah Wong - On The Soft Power Project | Ep34

from Make It Work · host Sarah Wong

Working mothers, career transitions, and the power of becoming — Sarah Wong joins Sherry Fang on the Soft Power Project for an honest conversation about navigating uncertainty, motherhood, and identity. 🌱In this special episode, the mic flips — and this time, I’m the one being interviewed. 🎙️ Sherry invited me to open up about the messy but transformative seasons of my life: moving countries while pregnant, juggling family responsibilities with career shifts, and rediscovering who I was when nothing seemed stable. These were the moments that looked like chaos on the outside — but in hindsight, they were shaping me from the inside out. And also laid the foundation for the Make It Work podcast!In this heartfelt conversation, we talk about:👩‍👧‍👦 How becoming a mum shook up everything I thought I knew about who I was and what mattered most.🌊 The shaping role of my faith in a season of uncertainty 💡 Why feeling “lost” can actually be the most powerful season of growth.❤️ How I’m reshaping the way I speak to my children about who they are, not just what they’ll do.🕊️ The surprising truth about boundaries, Sabbath, and modeling rest for the next generation.This episode is for anyone balancing career transitions, family life, and the constant juggle of being a working mom — or anyone who’s ever looked around at the chaos and wondered if it could lead to something more. If you’ve ever felt caught between roles, pulled by change, or unsure of your next step, this conversation is a reminder that you’re not alone.—------------------------------------------Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:58 Welcome to Soft Power Project02:58 When Life Changes Direction14:08 The Therapeutic Power of Podcasting21:29 How Do You Create When Life Doesn’t Slow Down?22:08 Why Your Wins Matter More Than You Think23:34 Why Soft Power Matters More Than Ever26:24 Are Your Boundaries Helping or Holding You Back?35:12 The Next Chapter: Letting Go to Move Forward—------------------------------------------Follow Sherry here:👋 Executive Plus 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/ Follow 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: [email protected] our free ⁠Mommas Making It Work whatsapp community⁠: https://bit.ly/MIWcommunity—-------------------------------#MakeItWorkPodcast #TheSoftPowerProject #WorkingMoms #MotherhoodJourney #CareerTransitions #Identity #WomenInLeadership #WorkLifeBalance #Resilience #PersonalGrowth #MotherhoodUnfiltered #PodcastGuest #FutureOfWork #InspirationFrom Stay-At-Home to Single Working Mom: What Divorce Taught Me (That I Never Saw Coming): https://youtu.be/pw6r_MizOuI?si=tjv3ApPNuKX5B3E5Parenthood Across 10 Countries: The Village Every Parent Needs - Marina Lopes: https://youtu.be/hDMbVn725uA?si=rOV7qljsePBkfWKZ29 Weeks Too Soon: Motherhood, Identity, and Building Something Radically New - Luanne Poh: https://youtu.be/Yau2wLUNS5U?si=KVPYE4CBI9IQPBjd
