What if more "me time" isn't about finding more time - but using the time you already have, more intelligently?

Michelle says this facial experience was truly different and relaxed her from head-to-toe.

She loved that this facial experience, which incorporates a massage, had no packages, resulting in no pressure and no wasted time.

We explore the rise of "efficient wellness" - a growing trend designed for busy professionals who want meaningful recovery without spending half a day at a spa.

Michelle speaks with Sandra Chua, Founder and Head Therapist at House of Wellness, about combining face and body treatments into one customised session,  and rethinking wellness around outcomes rather than routines.

Drawing on her own experience of burnout as a former teacher, Sandra shares why stress relief is  becoming just as important as beauty treatments.

Michelle also reflects on her own experience with the service.

LIVE WELL WITH MICHELLE: Burnout, Beauty & The Rise of Efficient Wellness

Could quantum computing become the next AI - or is Wall Street already getting ahead of itself?

Hosted by Michelle Martin with guest Cheng Chye Hsern, Head of Investment at Providend, this episode explores whether quantum computing could become the next transformational technology theme after fresh US government support sparked a rally in quantum stocks.

Michelle and Cheng examine record S&P 500 profit margins and ask whether US corporate earnings remain genuinely resilient or increasingly dependent on a handful of AI winners.

They unpack South Korea's remarkable stock market surge, Samsung's return to a US$1 trillion valuation and why Asia is becoming central to the global AI supply chain.

The conversation also looks at rising US Treasury yields, the risks of chasing technology hype and what Singapore investors should watch as the STI consolidates around the 5,000 level.

Finally, they discuss whether capital is rotating back into growth markets or if Singapore's next rally may still lie ahead.
