Maryanne Soh Season 1 Episode 6

Ever chased the next promotion, title, or pay raise and to only wonder, “Is this it?”
In this episode of Chit Chat with Aunty Mary, I sit down with my ex-manager Justin Halim. He has spent over 20 years in corporate life, from working in global tech giants to becoming Partner at a top management consulting firm where we both worked, to leading large regional teams. Despite checking every box of traditional success, Justin realized that titles and promotions alone don’t bring happiness, and that finding your purpose matters so much more

We discuss:
1. Why chasing titles and promotions won’t make you happy
2. The purpose shift that happens with age and life seasons
3. How to redefine success at different life stages
4. Practical steps to stay grounded in your purpose through vision boarding

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this it?” even after achieving your career goals, this conversation will shift how you think about success, happiness, and purpose.
