Sharon Fan, my guest today, has built an incredibly successful career—she’s the ultimate go-to-market guru and a devoted mother. But balancing career and motherhood hasn’t come without struggles and deep self-reflection.
In this episode, we dive into the raw and unfiltered realities of motherhood, especially for women who have transitioned from structured, career-driven lives. Our conversation explores the complexities of navigating identity, the weight of cultural expectations, and the vital role of support systems.
Sharon opens up about her personal journey—stories of resilience, overwhelm, and the courage it takes to be vulnerable. She shares why setting boundaries matters and how authenticity is a form of power. Together, we reflect on how motherhood reshapes our understanding of ourselves and the world—and why embracing our soft power is not only necessary, but revolutionary.
