This month’s Faces of Success decided to begin her career in financial services after seeing her brother build a successful practice helping others. ”As a divorced, single parent, the motivation ran deeper than career goals-it was about security, opportunity and rewriting the story.” Sometimes the hardest seasons produce the strongest leaders. Nearly two decades later, Laura has taken her inspired career to extraordinary heights.

As a single working mother of ten kids (that's right - 10!) Laura has redefined "work-life balance" to mean something more like synergy rather than balance. Laura focuses on her purpose - driven life. Between meetings and kid duties, she’s proof that women don’t have to choose between career or family. That lived experience allows her to deeply connect with clients who are single, divorced or widowed. She doesn’t just understand the numbers, she understands the emotions, the uncertainty and weight of those decisions. And that makes a difference. She has successfully built her business, continues to raise her family, and consistently shows up with strength and heart for her clients.

Laura recognizes the perspective she brings to her clients as a woman financial professional. Through her resilience, empathy, adaptability, and an unmatched ability to multitask, Laura focuses much of her business on helping women meet their financial goals. She knows the grace it takes to truly hear the concerns and crossroads other women are facing in their financial journeys. Laura has leaned on Brokers International resources to help her create financial strength, clarity, and confidence for her clients.

Life insurance continues to grow. Research also shows LTC and other hybrid solutions attract a wider audience. With rising health care costs, broader appeal to more demographics and smoother transaction processes, life insurance looks to face continued headwinds.

Life insurance application activity closed the year up 22% in December, the MIB Life Index reported, helping 2025 set a record for growth.

This month’s Faces of Success has decades of experience in financial services. Barbara has focused her career helping families understand retirement income strategies, asset protection, and creating long-term financial security for her clients. She has seen firsthand how financial education and proper planning can change the entire trajectory of a family’s future. Helping families understand their options to financially protect what they’ve built while creating predictable income solutions in retirement has driven Barbara's success.

As the financial services landscape has evolved, with today’s clients more informed, more skeptical, and more concerned about long-term predictability than they were 15 or 20 years ago, Barbara has shifted toward a much more education-first, income-focused approach to helping clients. That shift has made her practice more consultative, more transparent, and more aligned with what her clients sincerely care about.

“Brokers International has been an instrumental partner in my growth for more than 15 years through Tarkenton Financial. What I value most about BI is not just the product access, but the strategic support, marketing resources, and responsiveness of their team. They’ve consistently helped me stay ahead of market trends, navigate product changes, and position solutions in a way that is both compliant and client-centric. Their marketing support has also been a major asset as I’ve expanded into educational seminars, webinars, and media-based outreach. BI feels less like an IMO and more like an extension of my own team — a partner that genuinely cares about my success and the quality of the advice I deliver to my clients.”

Recently, Brokers International and Integrity Wealth committed time and resources to align actions with our core values of service and partnership by hosting a Lasagna Love assembly event. Employees were able to use VTO hours to help assemble lasagna pans, supporting local families in need.

Lasagna Love was founded as a way to reintroduce kindness into our daily lives, feed families and strengthen communities. Not only does it help address food insecurities but also provides a simple act of love and kindness during times of uncertainty and stress. Lasagna Love delivers an average of 3,500 lasagnas each week throughout the US, Puerto Rico, Australia and Canada.
