Crafting a life of meaning, purpose and vitality
Fazilah Shariff
Founder and Architect, Living in Full Series
The Living in Full Series is all about living with meaning, purpose, and vitality — embracing what truly matters in your life, whether at home, work, or in your community. We bring together experts and passionate leaders to share inspiring stories, practical strategies, and fresh insights.
This Series isn’t just another set of lectures—it’s an exciting, energizing experience where you’ll walk away with actionable takeaways to level up your own well-being and support your family. It’s also about creating our own community of people, to exchange ideas and to support and encourage each other. If you care about creating a life full of meaning and impact, this series is for you—offering a blend of real talk, new ideas, and the tools you need to thrive.
Why Fazilah started the Living in Full Series?
Fazilah created the Living in Full Series because she’s on a continual quest to dig deeper, make a greater impact, and create a life filled with fulfillment and enjoyment. Through her work as a Child and Family Therapist, she’s met so many people who care deeply about their families, careers, and communities but feel stretched thin—wanting to be present, to feel connected, and to have energy for what matters, but not always knowing how to make that happen.
At the same time, her work in health system transformation has given her a broader perspective on well-being. She’s come to see that thriving isn’t just about individual choices—it’s shaped by the world around us. The way healthcare is structured, the policies that shape our communities, and the support we receive at work and in our daily lives all play a role in how we and our families flourish.
She created this series because she believes that well-being is about more than just checking the right boxes—it’s about discovering what truly fills us up. The Living in Full Series is a space for real conversations, fresh insights, and meaningful connections that help individuals, families, and communities create lives of purpose, vitality, and deep connection.
