The Healthy Advisor: Riding Out the Storm with Beth Bosworth

The Healthy Advisor: Riding Out the Storm with Beth Bosworth

When natural disasters hit, your life can turn upside down. Beth Bosworth experienced this firsthand when Hurricane Helene hit her town of Asheville, N.C. on Sept. 27, 2024. The hurricane caused severe damage to the city, including fallen trees, destroyed power lines, and flooded roads. Her neighborhood is still feeling the effects of that storm several months later.

 In this episode, Diana Britton, WealthManagement.com executive editor, speaks with Bosworth, head of financial planning and wealth advisor at Perigon Wealth Management, who shares how she and her community banded together under immense pressure to restore normalcy after the storm’s devastation. She did all this while continuing to serve clients and run an advisory practice. 

 Beth discusses: 

  • The unexpected impact of Hurricane Helene and how it reshaped entire communities 
  • Being prepared for natural disasters
  • The emotional rollercoaster of being cut off from communication in a world reliant on connectivity 
  • Finding strength in community solidarity amid nature’s chaos 
  • What the ordeal taught her about her own resiliency and strength
