A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we have an innate need for connection and approval from others. Often, we make an effort to gain validation and this is natural. Yet, in our world today, this need for others’ approval becomes magnified; as many of us are constantly plugged in on social media, we tend to get caught up in the pursuit of “likes”, “shares”, “follows” & engagement. These can have implications on our mental well-being and happiness. Through this issue, I hope that we can be more aware of the impacts & risks associated with excessive use of social media, and what we can do about it so that we can live out our best lives.

How to Stop Worrying What Other People Think of You

If you find yourself looking over your shoulder, self-conscious, or fretful about how your actions will look to others, here’s some help to stop worrying.

The Social Dilemma: Social Media and Your Mental Health

‘Like’ it or not, using social media can cause anxiety, depression, and other health challenges. How can you change your habits?

A Reason Not to Worry What Others Think

We spend a little too much time worrying about how we must appear in the minds of others. However, the poignant, useful truth is that almost everyone doesn’t care at all about who we are, what we’re doing and how we’ve messed up.

When we purchase insurance, we are not only buying the product, but also the service rendered by the advisor. Due to this, it is important to have a good adviser who will stay with you in time of need. Karen is my family adviser and she had been a great help to me when I met an accident while holidaying on Norway. From the time of call to her, she had been a great help, liaising with my travel insurer on medical attention, talking to my surgeon to explore possible treatments and finally, the arrangement to fly back for my op. And finally arranging for my local and overseas medical claim. I will definitely recommend Karen to anyone looking for a responsible and capable adviser. Your finances and family will be in good hands.

Siew Chi

Karen is my ex-colleague and when I found out that she is joining her husband in the insurance line, I got in touch to see if she can recommend me a plan to replace my existing one. Through our correspondence, I find her extremely prompt in her responses be it via messaging or via email. Her follow up skills are commendable and I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is keen to seek financial advice.

Karen is my cousin and she's been a great help and resource to our family's financial planning so far. I'm sure your meeting with her will benefit you & your family greatly. You can also tap on her knowledge should you need an advice/opinion.

Allyson Ong

Wesley has been my financial planner for the past 10 Years. He is always sincere, and always think a step ahead for his clients. His service is excellent, and he is always an sms/call away. This is what let him stand out from other financial advisers. With Karen helping him in his career, she is amazingly sharp and is able to give great advice with her sound financial background. No one likes to buy insurance from hit and run agents. If you want good customization to your planning needs and super efficient follow-up service especially in times of urgent advice and claims, I am confident Wesley and Karen are the perfect financial planners to go to. :)

"Buying insurance feels like finding things in the dark without a torch. As such, a financial adviser will need to have sounds knowledge to shed light about policies and its complicated jargons. Karen is very knowledgeable with ultra patience level but what sets her apart from other adviser is her efficiency. She responds to queries with lightning speed. We are glad to have her handling our future plans!"
