How to find an aligned role in the insurance industry: (You’re wasting time and money without this…) Most WOC are in roles they’ve outgrown. Relying on what they’ve always done. But they’re not moving forward. The reality of the situation: It’s not about casting a wide net. It’s about narrowing your options. And more than that: It’s not about being everything for everyone. It’s about going after what truly fits YOU today. Last week, I hosted a 3-day live masterclass. And I broke down my formula for success: • Understanding what you want and need. • Knowing what really matters in your career (+ life). • Targeting exact roles aligning with vision and purpose. And that was just Day 1. Know that: You’re doing it wrong when you stay comfortable. And you miss your potential to: • Earn more.  • Grow more.  • Live better.   And when you follow my formula, everything changes: • Your job search becomes easier. • You gain a ton of clarity on your future. • You position yourself as the obvious choice. You secure a better-fit role 2x as fast. Remember: Finding an aligned role isn’t about doing MORE. It’s about doing what’s RIGHT for you. Want to find your next aligned role?

One single mistake nearly cost my insurance career. (And I don’t want it to happen to you.)   I had done well in my career. Watching my skillset grow in real time. Getting experience in new areas. Seeing my salary skyrocket. Wearing nice titles. Perfect, right? Not even close. Something was off. And I couldn’t shake it. I wasn’t creating impact. Nor moving with purpose. In the way I thought I would. I wasn’t pouring from a full cup. Which left me dissatisfied. Frustrated. Stuck. Even worse – I considered giving up. The industry didn’t need me. So, I constantly moved in circles. Until I started working on these 3 things: [1] Flipping my support system.   I reserved spots only for people:   Walking paths I admired. With ACTUAL tools to help me. While inspiring healthy habits for growth.   [2] Deepening the relationship with myself.   I used more of my time:   Understanding my strengths. Redefining standards of success. Getting acquainted with present-day me.   [3] Overhauling my brand. No longer sitting back, I focused on: Identifying my assets. Carving out my brand identity. Attracting the right opportunities. I started small, focused on consistency. Now, I can pour from a full cup. Because I made bold moves for my future. You can have this in your insurance career, too. Get the help you need. Don't allow things to fester. You deserve to be fulfilled in your career. --------- Like what you see?

Me, point A: Craving more, 4 role changes in 2 ½ years.  Me, point B: Thriving, 1 role doubling my satisfaction. (And how I went from A to B) I always had big dreams and goals for my career. But as I thought about my future in insurance…  I would often feel a massive void at times. My thoughts circled on: → “Is this really it for me?” → “Where did my joy to wake up go?”  → “Am I truly making a difference here?” → “Should I be considering something else?”  → “I’m doing everything right… why do I feel this way? It got to the point where I was deeply unfulfilled.  So much that it had me: • Chasing. • Doubting my path. • Going after title after title. • Not enjoying my day-to-day work. • Feeling less and less motivated to show up. Can you relate to this? That was nearly 3 years of my insurance career. The same cycle repeating itself, over and over.   And trust me, 3 years being stuck is too long when you’re ambitious. So how did I get past it? [1] Emphasis on aligning my career. I used more of my time: • Understanding my strengths. • Redefining standards of success. • Identifying an aligned with confidence. The pieces of the puzzle came together like magic. [2] Overhauling my brand. No longer sitting back, I focused on: • Identifying my assets. • Carving out my unique brand.  • Attracting the right opportunities. I created a brand that left a lasting impression. The best part? I landed my first dream role in the industry. And I did it with ease. (Rinse, repeat).  Now, I’m helping others do the same. Ready to start your career transformation?

You’re leaving a full-time job... to be an insurance agent? That’s what my mum said more than 25 years ago, when I made the decision to quit my stable corporate role to join the financial advisory industry. To her, it felt like a step down. Why did I go to university only to end up as a sales person that peddles insurance policies? In many people's eyes, insurance is seen as something you don’t need a degree for. The commission-based nature of the job, without a steady salary, only adds to the scepticism. And then there's that fear that the family will lose face if you end up selling to relatives and friends. It’s understandable that my mum didn’t understand why I made the switch. But to me, financial advisory was never just about selling policies or chasing commissions. It’s about building trust and creating meaningful relationships with clients. Yes, it’s difficult work, and there’s a lot of ground to cover. But the impact we have on people’s lives, helping them secure their future, is what makes this career so fulfilling. Over time, my mum has come to see the value in what I do as I showed her that I could provide for the family. My brother also decided to join me as a financial adviser. Sometimes, the leap that others don’t understand is exactly the one you need to take. 💡 #FinancialAdvisory #PeopleFirst #PersonalGrowth #finexisadvisory

Monday morning, exactly 30 days ago. I woke up to a new reality. → The usual log-in. → The usual email routine. → The usual dialing into a meeting. → The usual chit-chat about weekend activities. → The usual focus on what I needed to tackle for the week. Everything gone. No more. (Well, all except the last one.) You might be wondering: What happened? I simply left my role in insurance. And decided to choose myself. As well as my: (+) Interests (+) Strengths (+) Standards  (+) Well-being  (+) And dreams But, it didn’t start 30 days ago. It started long before then. You may hear this in your career:  “Just do [x].”  “Wait until [y].”  “Go after [z] first.” But this advice comes at the cost of you: Being unsure. Being boxed in.  Being complacent. Being unmotivated.  Being overwhelmed.  Being super drained. And it creates a false narrative because: (-) You believe this is it for you.  (-) You feel opportunities are limited. (-) You think you need to gain more experience.  (-) You wonder if you’ve hit a cap on your earnings and fulfillment. So hear me out: What if I told you there’s another outcome for you in your insurance career? In fact, I’ve built the perfect solution to help you get clear and move toward your next aligned role - all within the first 30 days. My program “Full Coverage” has 5 simple steps designed to renew your clarity, get you aligned, boost your readiness, curate an irresistible brand, and secure your path to lasting fulfillment in your career.

DM me ‘Coverage’ to start the conversation. #pursuewhatmatters #WOC #insurance #insurancecareers #careerdevelopment --------- I only have 3 more spots left before I convert to a waitlist. DM me ‘Coverage’ and we can get started in 1 week.

2 days ago, I heard one comment over a call. And it told me so much: “I wish I would have known sooner.” Have you ever said anything like this before? I'm sure I've said these words,  Likely more times than I know. But it’s a powerful reminder that when you: • Trust your intuition,  • See that you deserve more, • Make the leap to step into your purpose,  • Take advantage of opportunities placed before you, That you can then turn your career into actual substance. A vehicle that allows you to live the life you truly want. But here’s the thing: The longer you wait and stand around, the more you: • Sit in a role dissatisfied. • Miss out on best-fit opportunities. • Remain thirsty for purpose and impact. • Go home feeling empty despite your hard work. That’s why it’s crucial to act before it’s too late. Sure, you might be able to do it alone. That’s what most people think. But you won’t be able to reach real success without: • Narrowing your focus. • Fully aligning your career. • Committing 100% to the journey. • And having a tailored strategy the entire way. Don’t be like most people. Your career and livelihood are too precious. With my 1:1 program Full Coverage,  I make 1 promise to every client: -- I guide you to align,  -- Your career with purpose,   -- And am there every step of the way,  -- To land you a role full of impact and value. Every step is intentional. No more wasted efforts. This isn’t something you want to delay. Can you afford to wait until it’s too late? P.S. There are TWO more spots left in my Full Coverage program before I convert to a waitlist. I have 2 calls booked so far. I don’t work with everyone, so you still have time to claim your spot. DM me “Coverage” and leave no regrets on the table. And there is still 1 day left for you to take advantage of the game-changing bonus I’m offering this week. Details are in the comments.  #fullcoverage #pursuewhatmatters #WOC #insurance #careers

How to find your purpose-driven role in 30 days: (Hint: it’s easier than you think) Lead with alignment. The real truth is… No one thrives in misaligned roles. Yet WOC in insurance often stay in them for years. • The industry is stable. • There’s comfort in the known. • Relationships at work can feel binding. But listen, you deserve so much more. Don’t chase a paycheck without a sense of purpose. ↳ Instead seek roles that align with your own assets. Don’t settle for a title without knowing the full picture.  ↳ Pursue leadership roles allowing you to drive change. Don’t stay in a role that leaves a lot to be desired.  ↳ Take control of your situation and explore options. This type of shift can be the sole differentiator in: • Building a genuine brand. • Creating meaningful impact. • Experiencing lasting fulfillment.  • Attracting your dream opportunity.  • Operating fully in your zone of genius. Make bold moves for your career now. You’ll thank yourself later. P.S. Are you aligned in your insurance career? Take my quiz to get your answer.
