Ikigai Insider: The People and Places That Bring Us Resonance (S5E13)

Welcome to the third episode of our miniseries Ikigai Insider, where we invite our Client Advisers to share what it means to live a good life, combining Ikigai with Providend’s Philosophy of Sufficiency.

Each episode explores one of the eight Ikigai petals identified by Mieko Kamiya, the mother of Ikigai Psychology, whose work has been revitalised by Nicolas Kemp, Founder of Ikigai Tribe. Our Client Advisers share personal reflections and the steps they take to fulfil each petal.

In this episode, Jia Ling, our Client Adviser, reflects on the Ikigai petal of Resonance (Ibasho), sharing her journey across Malaysia, Singapore, Qatar, and back to Singapore, including the unique experience of joining Providend three times over.

For Jia Ling, nurturing her community, whether through friendship, shared spaces, or even cooking for others, has become a meaningful part of her Ikigai. This episode is a great reminder to identify the people and places where you feel most comfortable, and why creating that same safe space for clients matters so deeply to us at Providend.

Through deep conversations with our advisers, you will gain clarity on what matters most in life and what needs to be done to live a good life, both financially and non-financially, with your Ikigai goals at the forefront of your wealth plan.
