Welcome to the second episode of our miniseries for Finding Your Ikigai, where we invite a series of guests to explore what it means to live a good life, incorporating the concept of Ikigai and Providend’s Philosophy of Sufficiency.
Being a trusted adviser to our affluent clients for over two decades, we have always advocated for our clients to first make life decisions before financial decisions. Life decisions are also what we term “Ikigai” decisions.
In this episode, our Founder and CEO, Christopher Tan, speaks with Moon Shary, Providend’s Group COO & Executive Director, on how she finds her own Ikigai. As a mother of two, she has made intentional trade-offs—turning down a higher-paying job to prioritise her family.
A past health scare reshaped her outlook, reminding her to treasure life’s small moments. Looking ahead, she continues to explore her Ikigai while planning for the future.
