We asked some brilliant folks to tell us about the best advice they’ve ever given to a client and have highlighted some of the responses below.

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve given my clients is to think long game and assess their specific circumstances before jumping into a real estate decision. I have seen the real estate market shift dramatically several times in my career, and often buyers and sellers can get swept up in the moment or in the blanket messages they are getting from the news or well-intentioned people in their lives. But it is important to me to get to know my clients and their situations individually so I can help serve them and be their personal real estate expert. Read more>>

When I was a medical student rotating through my clerkships I was tasked with traveling to Gary Indiana for my psych rotation. I remember not wanting to drive from Nashville to Indiana because one my car sucked but two I had ptsd because my best friend in med school died the month previously in a car crash. Luckily I had an amazing classmate who I was able to car pool with. I just remember at that time in my medical journey being severally depressed and like the pressures of perfectionism for board exams/ residency applications did not give me enough time to grieve and heal.

I think it would be too much to type and way to much context to give a health history and how I approached it. My best basic advice that can inspire anyone is that you can heal. You can take control of your health when you combine improved lifestyle with identifying the root causes of your dis-ease. Lifestyle isn’t just what you eat. It’s what you eat, the products you use on a daily basis, the way you move, how well you sleep, how much time you spend outdoors, your mindset and the list goes on. Read more>>

Note: I’ll use the pronoun “they”, referencing the client to mean plural. My suggestion was shared with several clients and prospective clients as they had similar contexts. Any parentheses used are to create an emphasis are related to terminology used by anonymous clients or clinical terms. Most clients in the beginning of their therapeutic journey share what their goals are and some unresolved socioemotional wounds that they are truly struggling to overcome. Read more>>

A pregnant mom who had a difficult breastfeeding journey with her first child, I encouraged the mom to bring the infant to myself and a lactation consultant. When the infant was born, the consultant and myself evaluated the baby and found a restrictive tongue tie. With a holistic team of providers, she was able to get help with breastfeeding and her infant’s tongue tie. She was then able to successfully breastfeed the child for 15 months, when her first child she was only able to breastfeed for 2 months. Read more>>
