Welcome to Made in Asia, Lifestyle Asia’s podcast series that aims to connect the cultural dots and communities across Southeast Asia through the power of our voices.
In this episode, we sit down with one of Singapore's most influential voice -- radio presenter, host and multi-hyphenate Sonia Chew. Powered by Roku Gin, this conversation explores success, fulfilment and personal growth through the evolving theme of Living Your Peak.
Powered by Roku Gin, this episode explores what it truly means to live at your peak — not just in moments of public triumph, but in the quiet, personal rituals that shape one’s journey. This season also builds on the idea of Community, now zooming into the individual’s inner world and how they navigate success, visibility, and authenticity.
Sonia reflects on her unexpected journey into radio, from her breakthrough at Singapore’s 987FM Radio Star competition to finding confidence behind the microphone. She opens up about self-doubt, imposter syndrome and the process of learning to trust her own voice — on air and beyond.
The conversation also delves into what “peaking” really means in the entertainment industry, why growth is rarely linear, and how embracing both highs and lows has shaped her outlook. Drawing from lessons instilled by her parents, Sonia shares how resilience, curiosity and community continue to anchor her work. Ultimately, she wants to be a good example to her audience. “That’s cool, I wanna be her,” she shares. “That’s what I want the young people to feel when they listen to me.” Public scrutiny, however, is part of the bargain. “It can be overwhelming. People project what they think you should be.”
Beyond radio, Sonia discusses her venture into entrepreneurship and how creating meaningful experiences has broadened her perspective on leadership and creativity. “People see the confidence now,” she laughs. “But if I had to introduce myself, I’d say I’m still figuring things out, still learning, still curious.”
Candid, thoughtful and grounded, this episode offers a refreshing take on confidence, purpose and using your voice to create impact — at any stage of life.
