Sorry to hear about your headspace. That can’t be easy, I’m sure. Have you looked into starting a new hobby or something else to look forward to when you get off of work?

On the subject of clients, unfortunately, that’s always gonna be a risk. We’re paid a considerable amount of money to make incisive, data-driven recommendations, and since we interact with clients regularly, they’re going to understandably check in on their significant investment often.
