Welcome to the second 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, Ray, our Client Adviser reflects on the Ikigai petal of Change and Growth, sharing his journey from working in his family’s business to finding his place at Providend over the past five years.

Leaving a familiar path was daunting. He wondered, “Would anyone hire a 37-year-old?” Focusing on who he did not want to be, as much as who he wanted to become, helped him take the leap.

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.
