Break the Pattern. Take Back Your Power.
If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “I did everything right — so why am I still unhappy?” — this episode is for you.
In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I sit down with Sherry from Soft Power Project to explore how cultural expectations, people-pleasing, and emotional detachment shaped her marriage and divorce — and how she found the courage to reclaim her power and rewrite her life on her own terms.
Whether you’re navigating a custody battle, wrestling with cultural expectations, or simply figuring out who you are after divorce, Sherry’s story reminds us that disruption, discomfort, and reinvention can become the foundation of your freedom.
