S3, E17 | How Big Four Burnout Sparked Leng-Lei’s Leap to Aloe Mind
Episode 65
Tuesday, 28 October, 2025
Tho Leng-Lei took the “safe” road, LSE accounting, a Big Four desk, then private equity. It looked like success: stability, prestige, predictability. But behind spreadsheets and 2 a.m. audits, she felt herself slipping. The camaraderie was real, the exhaustion even more so, and the unspoken rule was simple: if you were still in the office at dawn, you were doing something right. When the pressure followed her into PE, dread became a daily alarm. Burnout and anxiety finally pushed her to pause for therapy, where she unpacked a lifetime of worth tied to achievement and learned that rest isn’t indulgence, it’s necessary. From that turning point came Aloe Mind, her answer to making help easy. With RM5,000 and a simple website built in an afternoon, she set out to remove barriers: clear prices, easy booking, licensed therapists, Bahasa/English options, and the freedom to choose who you speak to. She then built the workplace she wished she had, flexible, humane, outcomes-focused because well-being should power performance, not the other way around. Today, Aloe Mind connects thousands of Malaysians to care with a few clicks, and Leng-Lei’s lesson lands softly but firmly: success isn’t climbing faster; it’s knowing when to stop, heal and build better. 🎙️ Watch the full episode on Hello Mentor to hear the full story (Link in Bio) Follow us on Social Media: XiaoHongShu: https://shorturl.at/uVBZO Instagram: https://shorturl.at/hT6wQ TikTok (Hiredly): https://shorturl.at/0gum2 TikTok (Grow With Hiredly): https://shorturl.at/gAObT Dou Yin: https://v.douyin.com/uQlXc4X0vaY/0@9.com 🎧 Listen and follow Hello Mentor!: http://hiredly.com/hellomentor
