How financial advisors can ease stress

When finances seem out of control, emotions run high.

‍

According to FP Canada’s 2026 financial stress index, money remains the top source of stress for Canadians, with 43 per cent reporting it as their biggest concern.

‍

We get it, and we’re here to help.

‍

Crystal Brown, Wealth Advisor for Cambrian Credit Union, is all about helping members get financially healthy.

‍

“Over time, I realized that financial stress often lies at the root of many mental health issues—and I wanted to be part of the solution. That’s why I became a financial advisor,” Crystal says.

‍

Canadians who work with a financial professional are significantly less likely to be stressed about money—34 per cent versus 48 per cent.

‍

Financial stress decreases just by seeing a professional and creating a plan to suit your needs.

‍

And you’ll always have to adjust as you go.

‍

Crystal’s analogy: if you’re on a trip and come across a big pothole, you wouldn’t just turn around and cancel the trip. You would use strategies to move forward. You may choose to take an alternate route.

‍

Sometimes we have potholes in our plans when something happens unexpectedly. Advisors like Crystal can help you weather that storm.
