Financial Advisors on Managing Emotional Stress & Support Programs

Behind every financial portfolio review lies a story of fear, loss, or love. Financial advisors are often the ones who absorb it. They sit with clients through death, divorce, illness, and self-doubt, offering stability that extends far beyond money. For the Globe and Mail I’m writing a story that explores the emotional weight of the profession, how advisors care for clients and themselves, and why empathy has become an essential if unspoken part of the job description. Are there any firms that have programs for helping advisors manage stress? DM me or comment below to participate in the article.
