She Survived 9/11. Then Her Financial Life Fell Apart | Dr. Nicole Simpson, CFP®

She survived 9/11 from the 73rd floor of Two World Trade Center. Then her financial life fell apart.

In this episode of Grow With Papa, Papa Quainoo sits down with Rev. Dr. Nicole B. Simpson, CFP®, a financial planner with 35 years of experience, for a powerful conversation about financial trauma, wealth, faith, and rebuilding after everything changes.

Dr. Nicole shares her experience escaping the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001—and how the aftermath took her from earning over $100,000 to less than $18,000 while raising a family and carrying a mortgage.

But this conversation goes far beyond 9/11.

Why can someone make $250K and still feel broke? How does childhood scarcity affect the way we handle money decades later? What happens when you become your parents' retirement plan? And can you be financially successful while still carrying financial trauma?

We also explore lifestyle inflation, generational wealth, estate planning, financial resilience, faith on Wall Street, and what it actually means to be wealthy.

Because making more money doesn't always heal your relationship with money.
