I’m in My 50s—Here’s the Advice I Wish I Knew in My 40s (S4E25)

Welcome to the third episode of our Milestones by Decade mini-series! We’re excited to continue this journey with more insightful conversations with our Client Advisers. In each episode, we reflect on the lessons and advice they wish they’d received a decade ago, offering practical tips for navigating key milestones, from your 20s to your 50s.

As the leading fee-only wealth advisory firm in Asia, we’ve had the privilege of guiding clients from all walks of life at different stages for over two decades. In this mini-series, we hope to be able to impart both life and money wisdom to you, to inspire you and help you avoid costly mistakes.

In this episode, Amelia chats with Evelyn, one of Providend’s founding members and our Deputy CEO & Chief Advisory Officer, who is in her 50s. With heartfelt honesty, Evelyn opens up about the lessons, mindset shifts, and life choices she wishes she had known in her 40s. From balancing the demands of family and career, facing moments of burnout, to discovering the power of kindness to oneself and the importance of “yutori", that precious mental space we all need, this is one episode you wouldn't want to miss.

If you’re navigating your 40s or 50s, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers comforting insights and encouragement that remind us it’s okay to slow down, be kind to ourselves, and focus on what truly matters.
