Protected by Kristy

Protected by Kristy I help families understand life insurance, mortgage protection, and wealth-building strategies.

After losing my husband young, I’m passionate about helping families protect their home, income, and future before life changes unexpectedly.

When life gives you lemons...wear them. 🍋😂

The older I get, the less I care about trying to be perfect.

I'd rather laugh too much, make memories, take the picture, wear the outfit, and enjoy the people around me.

Life has a way of reminding you that time is precious, so I'm learning to stop saving things for "someday."

Wear the dress.
Take the trip.
Call your mom.
Tell people you love them.
Order dessert.

And if you see me out in a giant floppy hat...mind your business. 😂❤️

Most of us protect our homes with homeowners insurance.

But what about the mortgage?

Homeowners insurance helps protect the house from things like fire, storms, and other covered losses.

Mortgage protection is designed to help protect the people who live in it if life doesn't go as planned.

It's not a conversation most people think about when they buy a home, but it's one worth having.

If you've recently purchased a home and would like to learn more, I'm happy to answer your questions.

The older I get, the more I realize this is what life is really about. ❤️

Not the job.
Not the house.
Not the car.
Not the stuff.

It's about these moments.

The people who make you laugh until your stomach hurts.
The family that drives you crazy but would do anything for you.
The hugs, the holidays, the random pictures that end up meaning everything years later.

Life has taught me not to take these moments for granted.

If I've learned anything, it's to say "I love you" more often, take the picture, make the memories, and never assume you'll always have another chance.

I'm grateful for every single one of these faces. ❤️

This is my mom. ❤️

She taught me that you work hard, you take care of your family, and you do the best you can with what you have.

We didn't grow up with a lot, but we had love, family dinners, and people who showed up for each other.

Looking back, so many of the values I have today came from watching her.

The older I get, the more I realize that the greatest gift we can give the people we love isn't money or things...it's making sure they're taken care of if something ever happens to us.

Love you, Mom. ❤️

Hi, I'm Kristy.

For a long time, I thought life insurance was mostly about having enough money to bury someone and move on. That's what I grew up believing. We didn't have a lot of money, and if a job offered a small policy that covered the funeral, we felt lucky to have it.

Then life happened.

After losing my husband, I had to figure out grief, raising my kids, paying bills, and trying to keep my life from falling apart all at the same time.

That's when I realized life insurance isn't just about paying for a funeral.

It's about giving your family breathing room.

It's about having options when life changes overnight.

It's about one less thing to worry about on the hardest day of your life.

I'm starting this page because helping families understand their options is personal to me. I'm not here to pressure anyone or scare anyone. I just want to educate, share what I've learned, and hopefully help another family be a little more prepared than mine was.

Thank you for being here. ❤️

Hi, I’m Kristy — the woman behind Protected by Kristy.

I help families understand life insurance, mortgage protection, final expense, and wealth-building strategies in plain English.

This mission is personal for me. After losing my husband young, I learned that love alone does not keep the mortgage paid, the lights on, or the kids protected. A plan does.

My goal is to help everyday families protect their home, income, children, and future before life changes unexpectedly.

If you are a homeowner, parent, spouse, single mom, or someone trying to build a stronger financial foundation, this page is for you.
