GET TO KNOW MY WHY
So happy you’re here — I’m Audrey.
My journey into the realm of insurance and Medicare has been profoundly influenced by my beloved grandmother, who faced two significant challenges that dramatically impacted her life. First, she was misled about the actual value of her life insurance policy. Second, she struggled to navigate the complexities of Medicare.
Many of us recall those "industrial life insurance" or "burial insurance" policies. While they often featured low face values and modest weekly premiums, they created a false sense of security. These policies appeared affordable due to their low monthly costs, but the reality was stark: they held value only as long as the premiums were consistently paid. As individuals age, insurance companies profit more the longer people live. In my grandmother’s case, she held a life insurance policy worth just $1,000, all while believing it was worth $1 million.
Receiving an original Medicare card, emblazoned in vibrant red, white, and blue, can be an overwhelming experience. Without a clear understanding of Medicare’s offerings and the multitude of choices available, individuals can find themselves feeling lost and frustrated, unsure how to navigate this vital aspect of their healthcare. My grandmother once received $400 bills after her doctor visits, completely unaware that she was on the wrong plan and qualified for extra assistance.
My mission is to touch more lives, provide clarity, and prevent others from experiencing the same pitfalls my grandmother faced. I am dedicated to empowering individuals with the knowledge and insights necessary to make informed decisions about Medicare, health insurance, life insurance, and Social Security benefits. Together, we can ensure that no one has to navigate these complex systems alone or fall through the cracks.
