My Story – Why Insurance?

If you would have told me “Emma you will be following in your father’s footsteps in selling insurance” just a year ago I would have told you that you’re insane.  However it took two major events over the last 12 years for me to change my mind.  In 2016 at the age of 43 my spouse suffered a stroke.  In 2022 and 2023 one of my parents suffered two heart attacks and other medical conditions.  Both were unexpected and both changed their quality of life in some way.  The financial devastation that arose in both cases was life changing.  Savings were exhausted, staggering medical bills and declined income put us in a sleeperhold, suffocating us all.  Had we invested a few dollars a month into some living benefit plans, better health insurance we would be in a much different place right now.

I was not someone who was “excited” about selling for a career.  However when I was offered a job selling insurance, the exact plans that would have protected us from going down the path we were given, it was a no brainer.  In life three things are absolute.  Food, Taxes and Death.  You can’t escape any of these.  So what I am selling isn’t something we want but can’t afford, what I sell is something we NEED and should budget now because life doesn’t discriminate.  Nobody is safe because of their age, race or gender.  I don’t want anyone to be in the position I am now so with some planning I can change the fate of my community one person, one family at a time.
