Client meetings, renewal deadlines and keeping ahead of constant market changes have controlled my calendar for the past 20 years. It seems like maintaining work-life balance is basically impossible. Now add three energetic young children to the mix, and you’ve got what looks like an insurmountable challenge. Yet, here I am, years into my insurance career, successfully navigating both worlds — well, at least doing my best daily to get it right!
When I started in this industry, my biggest concern was mastering the complexities of insurance and building a client base (which was stressful and seemed unattainable in the early days). Fast forward to 2025 and any professional challenge I now face is intertwined with the joys and demands of raising three enthusiastic kids — my 10-year-old son and two daughters, ages 6 and 8. In reflecting on this journey, I’ve uncovered some real lessons I’d like to share with my peers who find themselves engaging in a similar work-life juggle.
