Soft Power Project

Sherry Fang

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.

    The Internalized Male Gaze: The Voice I Didn’t Know Wasn’t Mine

    In this deeply personal solo episode, I explore the concept of the internalized male gaze not as something external, but as a voice I’ve carried within myself. I reflect on how growing up in a patriarchal system shaped my subconscious beliefs about worth, relationships, and identity. From marrying on a timeline driven by perceived value, to the long emotional journey of processing my divorce, to experiencing rivalry and insecurity in female workplace dynamics, I began to see that these patterns weren’t random, but conditioned. I’m not sharing this as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone still in the process of unlearning. This episode is about becoming aware of the beliefs I inherited, questioning them, and slowly rebuilding a sense of self that feels true to me. If anything, this is an invitation to notice the invisible narratives you might be carrying, and to ask whether they’re really yours.
