The 21st Century: An Evolving Generation of Emotional, Economic and Societal Trauma

How to Survive During the Most Trying Times in America

​

Meet Dr. Nicole B. Simpson, CFP®, an African American woman who endured significant physical, emotional and economic trauma throughout her childhood and as a result of being on the 44th floor of 2 World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Dr. Simpson takes you on a journey addressing how the trauma of America has impacted families and what are the underlying financial ramifications. She helps you to explore methods to cope with what is uncontrollable and plan for the unanticipated. Acknowledging trauma is step one to recovery. However, to dismiss its economic impact creates untimely, vulnerabilities that can be managed to help a business, a family, an individual recover during, arguably, the most uncertain century the country has ever encountered. The anticipation of the 21st Century awakened significant social anxiety and lack of control for America, a country rapidly embracing great dependency upon the world of technology. Y2K placed many corporations on edge concerned that the turning of the century could present significant challenges. Then came September 11th, 2001, where the financial mecca was attacked and lives were lost, placing into question the strength and resolve of the country. Several years later, the worst global financial crisis materialized in 2007-2008. America has endured great hardship. Simultaneously, civil unease began to rear its ugly head with the historic election of the first African American President of the United States. Then Covid-19 hit us all and we have been faced with a reckoning in America; emotionally, economically and socially.
