Drum roll, please🥁🥁🥁

 Well here it is!! Today is the big announcement!!

Some of you know me as Karen Smith, today I’d like to re-introduce myself as Karen Smith, licensed insurance broker with Symmetry, Financial Group!

Most  people who know me know that nursing with some thing I was really good at and loved the adrenaline rush. I was an operating room nurse for about 16 years did floor nursing for a few years and if that wasn’t enough, I finished it off with four years of corrections nursing.
For about the past five or six years I had said I was done with nursing. The field of nursing has changed quite a bit! Nursing has become more focused on computer work, then compassionate work. But I kept doing it because I didn’t know how to do anything else. Being a nurse was a huge part of my identity!!

Fast forward to 2021, both of my parents health had started to decline and I was making multiple trips from Florida to Vermont to try to take care of them when I could. In 2022 I decided to make them move to Florida for their sake and mine. I needed to be closer to them. I need to be more available to them. 
Just after my sons wedding in June 2022 my dad became very ill with an infection. Thankfully we made it through the wedding but after that it was a huge roller coaster. I knew at that point I needed to find a job that I could do from home. So I could be available to take care of my parents as they are taking care of me. But again nursing is not really a great remote job, especially with my skill set.
So I placed my résumé on several sites. And one day I received an email about the possibility of a job, so I set up an interview. The gentleman who did my interview was funny and kind and knowledgeable and really cared about my goals and what I needed .
I am relatively new to symmetry, but everything I’ve seen  and accomplish so far and the support I received is far beyond what I could’ve imagined. I’m excited about the possibilities and also about the fact that I have to motivate myself. There’s an awesome team behind me and the possibilities are endless.

Maybe you’re questioning where you are in your job, feeling like it’s lost it’s draw. There are many job openings across the country and I happen to know the people you can talk to to get your life started in a new direction with a new and promising career.
So hit me up if you’re interested in a total life change not only with a job, but also finding out who you are and what you’re capable of, like I said the possibilities are endless !!!!

Multiple factors played into why I decided to do a career change in my 50s. To be honest I wasn’t really sure what I was looking for but I knew it was some thing that I needed to be able to do remotely so that I could be available for my parents multiple medical issues, appointments, and emergencies.

All I knew was how to be a nurse! What can I possibly do otherwise? I lacked computer skills. I was without any experience and how was I going to make an income that would take care of my parents and myself.

 When I came across SFG or should I say when they came across me I met this amazing, sweet, kind, understanding man from Canada, who not only told me this is possible but promised he would help me all along the way. And he has.
This transition hasn’t been easy and it’s still new to me. I do know that the team that I am working with are some of the truest, honest and most caring people outside of nursing that I’ve ever met. I’m looking forward to the increase income, the possibilities, and I actually still get to help people in a caring and compassionate way.

Have you been feeling the same way about your job as I was? Feeling like you were living paycheck to paycheck no promises of anything real? Are you feeling like you’re doing it all alone? Stay tuned as I may have the perfect way out for you.

When this was brought up, I wasn’t really sure what I was going to say. When it comes down to it, your non negotiable‘s are things that you can’t just throw down. It’s some thing that you have to think about and those things change as you get older. 
After almost 25 years in the medical field as a nurse, I always thought taken care of patients first was a nonnegotiable. Making sure everyone else is happy because I’m a caretaker. I realize that wasn’t so far off and it certainly wasn’t wrong, but my perspective has changed.
Some thing I’ve always made kind of a negotiable thing was God! I’m a preachers daughter, I went to church, I was a pretty good girl, I pretty much always did the right thing. But I realize that my priorities and nonnegotiable‘s were out of order and the amount of time I gave others went before God and myself.
Tomorrow I turn 53! Every year I’ve said this is going to be the year!! I’m going to read my Bible every day, I’m going to get in shape and lose a ton of weight I’m going to travel I’m going to save money. And ever you would come and go, and I read my Bible mostly. I would drop a few pounds and go to the gym for a while. I’ve traveled a little, but not as much as I would like. And well my bank accounts, that’s another story and part of the reason I’m here.
So instead of saying that this is going to be the year for me, I’m saying this is my nonnegotiable year and here are my non-negotiable items:
1. God is my priority.
2. Taking care of my family physically, and financially
3. Stop putting myself on the back burner.
4. Make this the best year ever.
5. Always have a bank account in the positive. 

1 and 5 are a work in progress every day.
2,3 and 4 are already in the works. None of it’s going to be easy. But it will be done.
I have spoken!

25 years as a nurse caring for people and knowing it was what I was meant to do but nursing has changed as did my love for nursing and therefore my life was about to make a huge shift. It’s always scary to make a change unless you know it’s for the better!!

How do you take care of the people you love most? Maybe you cook them dinner, do their laundry or knit them a blanket. However you take care of them, make sure protecting them with life insurance is on the list.
