A middle-aged finance manager has inspired the nation by revealing that her soul-shattering retrenchment led to a profound spiritual discovery.

After weeks of deep introspection and staring at her dwindling bank balance, the former manager realized her true purpose in life wasn’t to be a corporate slave.

Instead, she discovered a divine calling to help high-net-worth individuals protect their assets from the grabby hands of fate.

"Last time I thought my heart was empty, but then I see the commission from family wealth planning and my heart become full again," she explained.

Her inspiring journey from one air-conditioned cubicle to a slightly more expensive family office proves that self-actualisation in Singapore always requires a management fee.

"Retrenchment is a blessing lah, otherwise I still counting paper for MNC instead of counting gold for rich uncles," she added.
