As AI tools like ChatGPT are increasingly capable, many have asked: Could AI truly replace a human wealth adviser? Being trusted advisers to our affluent clients for over two decades, this Providend series began with an article by our Client Advisers on clients navigating major life transitions. The podcast goes further, exploring the thoughts behind these transitions.

In this podcast episode, Joyce and our host, Isaac, unpack the emotional rollercoaster of an unexpected job loss through the case of Samantha, 38, a senior project manager made redundant after a company downsizing. They discuss how losing an income can feel like losing a sense of identity. The conversation also dives into the pressure to accept any job offer, even when it doesn’t align with one’s ikigai or deeper purpose.

Joyce highlights that ChatGPT might not actually know you as well as you think it does.
