Should You Tell Your Boss About Your Mental Health Diagnosis? [W&S 161]

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Mental health is something many workplaces say they support today. But when it comes to actually sharing a diagnosis at work, many professionals still choose to stay silent.

Why is that?

Through an honest and thought-provoking discussion, we unpack the fears, trade-offs, and decisions people face when navigating their careers while managing their mental wellbeing.

Joining us for this conversation are two experienced voices in mental health:

Sharon Teo - Psychotherapist and Educator, who works with individuals across diverse communities including athletes, military personnel, and youth.
Dr Mian-Li Ong - Clinical Psychologist, who works with children and adults navigating ADHD, trauma, depression, and other mental health challenges.

Together, they share insights from both clinical practice and real-world workplace experiences, helping us better understand the difficult decisions professionals face every day.

If you’ve ever wondered whether being open about mental health could impact your career, this is a conversation worth listening to.

The Builder Traits That Make Mid-Career Professionals Irreplaceable [W&S 160]

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 22:00:00 GMT

Why do we say we want innovators… but still reward rule followers?

In this episode, we are joined by Patrick Lim, CEO of ACE.SG, and Ezekkious Loo, YSEALI Fellow; Winner of FY25 POL-ITE Entrepreneurs Challenge, to dive into a fascinating paradox: Young people are building projects, joining startup competitions, and launching side hustles earlier than ever, yet many of them still don’t see themselves as entrepreneurs.

So what actually creates a builder mindset?

Is it something you're born with… or something that can be developed through experience?

In this conversation, we explore how curiosity, experimentation, and even failure can spark the mindset that turns employees into builders and thinkers who act like founders.

But the real question is: Are our schools and workplaces truly creating space for this mindset to grow?

Why the Luxury Industry Hires Differently: Creativity, Judgment & Taste [W&S 156]

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 22:00:00 GMT

What really makes someone “creative” at work, and can you actually train it?

We dive into a conversation that goes way beyond art and design. Kick off the year with a fresh perspective on growth, identity, and what it really takes to stand out in today’s professional world.

We’re joined by Priscilla Tang, Luxury Mindset & Career Coach, who brings a unique blend of career coaching expertise and years of experience in the luxury industry, where excellence, precision, and high standards aren’t optional… they’re the baseline

Together, they explore powerful ideas that might just change how you see your own potential:

Creativity isn’t just for “artistic” people; it might be hiding in how you solve problems every day
Judgment can be trained, and your past mistakes may be your greatest teachers
Taste isn’t about being fancy; it’s about developing an “elevated preference” that sets your work apart
Why luxury brands obsess over details, and what professionals in any industry can learn from that mindset
How to show creativity in interviews, even if you don’t work in a creative role
The hidden skill most workplaces are missing, and how it affects confidence, decision-making, and growth

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m just not a creative person,” or wondered how some people just seem to “get it right” when others can’t explain why — this episode is for you.

Tune in to discover how creativity, judgment, and taste aren’t rare talents… but skills you can grow with the right mindset.

The Career Advice HR Will Never Tell You: Build Skills Outside Your Job [W&S 155]

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 22:00:00 GMT

What if you’re doing everything “right” - climbing the ladder, hitting milestones, building stability, but deep down… success still doesn’t feel secure?

We dig into a growing mid-career reality: more professionals are quietly building skills outside their job; not because HR asked them to, but because they’re trying to protect their future.

Because in today’s world, even the most stable job can start feeling… temporary.

This episode’s guests:

Dawn - Author of Take Back Control of Your Money and host of Wise & Shine (but today, she’s in the hot seat sharing her personal journey)
Roy Teo - A comms & marketing professional of 18 years who made a bold pivot into real estate advisory (and hasn’t looked back since)

We unpack:

Why mid-career professionals are upskilling even when things seem “fine”
The moment “job security” starts feeling like an illusion
What corporate life teaches you… and what it never will
The uncomfortable truth about visibility, personal branding, and being seen

The mindset shift that makes skill-building possible (even when you’re exhausted)

This isn’t another “hustle harder” conversation.

It’s about optionality. It’s about resilience.

And it’s about building the kind of skills that no one can take away from you, no matter what the economy, tech, or workplace throws next.

Tune in and discover why the smartest professionals aren’t waiting until it’s too late.

It's not a hypothetical question anymore; it's a demographic certainty. We are all living longer, and the traditional three-stage life of study, work, retire is officially obsolete.

Workplace Harassment in Singapore: What’s Illegal - And What Isn’t [W&S 152]

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 22:00:00 GMT

What if harassment at work no longer looks the way you expect?

It’s no longer just whispered comments in corridors or uncomfortable meetings behind closed doors. Today, it can show up in Slack messages, WhatsApp chats, LinkedIn posts — and sometimes in ways that are subtle enough to make you question your own instincts.

Dive into a topic many experience, but few openly talk about: workplace harassment and bullying in the digital age.

We explore:

How workplace harassment has quietly shifted from physical spaces to online platforms
The blurry line between “lawful but awful” behaviour and illegal harassment
Why so many victims stay silent — even when policies exist
What really happens when HR systems don’t feel safe or independent
The emotional and reputational toll of speaking up (or choosing not to)

And most importantly — what options actually exist when walking away isn’t so simple.

🎧 Our Guest

Joining us is Simran Toor, Head of Regulatory & Investigations, Co-Head of Disputes, Tang Thomas, a legal expert and leading advocate in digital safety and workplace equity.

She is the former CEO of Singapore’s first online harms help centre and has led national efforts addressing harassment, gender equity, and access to justice. With years of experience supporting victims both legally and systemically, she brings a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on why harassment persists - and what truly needs to change.

This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply relevant for anyone navigating modern workplaces - whether you’re an employee, manager, or business owner.

👉 If you’ve ever wondered:

“Is this harassment… or am I overthinking it?”

This episode is for you.

🎙️ Tune in. Listen closely. And decide what you’d do differently next time.

I Look Successful, But I Still Feel Behind [W&S 146]

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 22:00:00 GMT

Feeling like you’re behind in your 30s or 40s… even though, on paper, you’ve done everything “right”?

Dive into that quiet mid-career ache: when the promotions, pay raises, house, family and “LinkedIn wins” still don’t stop you from feeling… not enough.

🎧 Tune in if you’ve ever caught yourself scrolling LinkedIn thinking,

“Everyone else is sprinting ahead. What am I doing with my life?”

Here’s what we’ll explore:

- Why mid-career success can still feel strangely empty – even when you’ve ticked most of society’s boxes.

- The invisible pressure of LinkedIn & humblebrags – and how constant comparison messes with your self-worth.

- Internal vs external success – are you chasing your own definition… or a script handed to you by parents, school, or culture?

- When your job title is your identity – what happens when retrenchment, restructuring, or redundancy hits.

- How to start decoupling your worth from your work – small mindset shifts to move from “never enough” to more grounded contentment.

- Why life purpose often gets louder in your 30s & 40s – and how to listen to it before burnout forces you to.

👥 Our guests this week:

- Michelle Mah – a psychotherapist and coach in her second career, who works with high performers that “look like they’re winning” on the outside but struggle with meaning and self-worth on the inside.

- Esther Koh – a senior HR leader in the financial services industry, as well as an ontological coach, parenting coach and counsellor, who’s led transformation at work while navigating caregiving, loss, and redefining success on her own terms.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Who am I without my job title or my pay slip?”

…this episode is your permission slip to find out.

Why More Professionals Are Quitting the Corporate Ladder [W&S 135]

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 22:00:00 GMT

Tired of the 9-to-5 grind? What if you could design a career on your own terms—full of purpose, flexibility, and impact—without climbing the corporate ladder?

We dive into the quiet revolution reshaping Singapore’s work culture. Senior professionals are stepping off the traditional career path and into a new world of portfolio careers, fractional roles, and independent consulting—and it’s not just about freedom. It’s about value, expertise, and redefining success in the second half of your career.

We’re joined by two trailblazers who’ve lived this shift:

🔹 Moritz Kaffsack, Founder & CEO at Flexer; Founder of Portfolio Careers in Asia —a fast-growing community of 1,700+ senior independent professionals across APAC. He’s behind the groundbreaking Independent Workforce Study that’s turning heads in the business world.

🔹 Ratna Juita, Founder & CEO of The Mindgem, an Indonesian-born entrepreneur who’s built a thriving portfolio career in Singapore over 19 years—spanning leadership training, personal branding, coaching, and strategic consulting—all while reclaiming control over her time and life.

Discover:

✅ Why more companies are choosing fractional experts over full-time hires

✅ How top independents are earning up to $250,000 a year—and why they’re optimistic about doubling it

✅ The real trade-offs of going independent (spoiler: it’s not all flexibility and freedom)

✅ And the one skill no aspiring independent worker can afford to ignore

This isn’t just a trend—it’s a movement. And it might be your next career move.

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 22:00:00 GMT

You’ve probably heard the buzz about hitting that coveted six-figure income. But what does it really take to get there—and what are the sacrifices no one talks about?

We deep dive into the realities of earning a six-figure salary in Singapore—straight from someone who’s living it.

- The 24/7 mental load that comes with the paycheck (hint: "work-life balance" gets redefined).

- Shocking trade-offs—from lost personal time to unexpected vulnerabilities.

- Why earning more might put you at greater risk during market downturns.

- The emotional toll of high-stakes responsibility (even your friendships change).

We’re joined by Nicholas Braman, Marketing Director APJ at Kyriba | Podcaster - Before We Get There, a seasoned B2B marketer with over a decade of experience in tech, e-commerce, and agency spaces. He’s not only cracked the six-figure code—he’s navigated the intense demands, long hours, and high-pressure expectations that come with it.

This isn’t a guide on how to chase six figures blindly—it’s a real talk about whether you’re ready for the trade-offs that come with it.

Listen now—wherever you get your podcasts.

MAS has issued guidelines to clarify that any individual who is remunerated for making a recommendation or expressing an opinion on the buying, selling, or holding of investment products will be considered as providing financial advice." - Read more here: https://www.mas.gov.sg/news/parliamentary-replies/2024/pq-on-complaints-against-online-finfluencers

Are you ready to rethink the future of Singapore? On our latest episode, our hosts digested 180 pages from Forward Singapore and will dive deep into the movement and the big ideas it puts forth.

The government wants citizens empowered to shape our evolving identity, but is the vision clearer in theory than practice? We'll debate where this plan for progress hits the mark, and where it leaves listeners wanting more.

Join us as we dissect themes of new opportunities on the horizon - from entrepreneurship to nurturing local innovation. We'll also question if the support truly matches the responsibility citizens are being asked to take on.

Does the path ahead promote true inclusion, or does the journey still favor some over others? Tune in to hear spirited discussion on charting a course for Singapore that writes its next chapter authentically from the ground up.

You don't want to miss our candid conversation challenging both praise and critiques of this national framework. Listen now as we move the discussion from page to passion. The future is unwritten - but your voice could help shape where we're headed.

Do Credentials Always Equal Competency? Rethinking Our Trust In Licensed Professionals [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 52]

Sun, 05 Nov 2023 22:00:02 GMT

In this episode, we dive into a thought-provoking topic that challenges the level of trust we place in professionals. Today, we have a special guest on our show, the dynamic Sian from LiCaiOhYeah (The Financial Coconut’s Chinese Podcast). He will join us in discussing a sensitive issue that has been making headlines recently: the trust we place in professionals.

What does it mean to be a professional? Is it enough to have a certificate or a licence from a reputable organisation? Or do we need more than that to trust someone with our health, education, or finances?

We will share our personal stories and opinions on this matter, as well as some insights from experts and research. We will also look at some examples of professionals who have failed to live up to their standards and how that affects their credibility and reputation.

This is a podcast that you don’t want to miss, especially if you are a parent, a student, or a consumer of professional services. Don't miss out—tune in and be part of the conversation.

Is Singapore’s Social Compact At Risk Because of English? [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 27 ft That Property Guy]

Sun, 14 May 2023 22:00:42 GMT

Is Singapore’s social compact at risk because of English? Following the recent debate over new Singapore citizens' selection process and criteria between Josephine Teo and Pritam Singh, it has sparked a question in our minds on whether being bilingual is a mandatory skill to have. Why must we learn more than just our mother tongue and does speaking multiple languages truly affect our shot at success?

Believing in meritocracy is not only false but also bad for you! Do you believe in meritocracy? Although some argue that meritocracy promotes efficiency and fairness, there are tons of people arguing that it’s nothing but a myth!

Something Better Is Waiting For You Outside Of Singapore [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 19 with Zat]

Sun, 19 Mar 2023 22:00:07 GMT

Should Singaporeans leave for greener pastures elsewhere? A lot of times when we’re going on with our daily 9-5 work, we feel underappreciated by colleagues, supervisors or managers. We put in so much time and effort to ensure a task is completed on time only to receive little to no feedback or worse, the cursed “noted with thanks”. At these moments of uncertainty, we often consider leaving the country in search of "greener pastures.” But the question is “When should I leave?”

Work From ANYWHERE Should Be The Standard! [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 18 with Zat]

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 22:00:20 GMT

In light of recent events and the growing trend towards remote work, the question of whether work from home should be mandatory is a topic of much debate. While there are certainly benefits to remote work, such as increased flexibility and reduced commuting time, there are also potential downsides, such as decreased social interaction and difficulty separating work and home life.

During the pandemic when most of us were required to work remotely, we’ve come to realize that we dont really need to be in the office 9 hours a day just to get work done. So why isnt work from home a mandatory thing? Why are some companies still putting so much emphasis on being in the office when so much time and money can be saved from allowing some employees to work from home.

Who else but Zat, head of content at RICE media, can give us a scoop on how inefficient and outdated the way ‘traditional’ corporations run, and how can employers and leaders capitalize on remote work.

From Breadwinner to Caregiver: Life as a Stay-at-Home Dad [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 17 with Cliff]

Sun, 05 Mar 2023 22:00:15 GMT

Stay-at-home fathers are becoming more common in modern society. Being a stay-at-home father can be a rewarding but challenging experience. Many stay-at-home fathers report feeling fulfilled in their caregiving role and value the opportunity to spend more time with their children. However, some also report feeling isolated or stigmatized by societal expectations of traditional gender roles.

Following the recent discussion of gender roles and caregiving during Singapore’s budget 2023 to support families and encourage more births, stay-at-home & working moms were the main characters during this discussion. But what about stay-at-home fathers? What drove them to becoming a stay home dad and the struggles and sacrifices that come with it.

With us today is Cliff, a stay-at-home father of 2! He’s been a stay-at-home dad for 4 YEARS and he’s here today to discuss all there is to it about being a stay-at-home father.

Build Your Brand and Reputation. It Actually Affects Your Outcome! [TFC Wise & Shine Ep 16]

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 10:00:51 GMT

How many times have you heard phrases like “you do you” or “be yourself” or even “dont care about what other people think” ? I'm gonna guess and say quite often right? But can you really afford to not care about what others think and not build or maintain your reputation because you’re “being yourself”?

What if your reputation has been tarnished? Is it possible to rebuild that reputation or would you have to start from ground zero again? On this episode of Wise and Shine, we dissect this obsession to be ourselves and come to a realization that maybe it is all a give and take.
