In this episode of InsHER, I interview the one and only Miranda Fischer, Producer at Alliant Insurance Services and a total force in the construction and surety space. From riding at the Grand Prix level in both Show Jumping and Dressage to operating heavy machinery and now representing some of the top AEC firms in New York, Miranda’s insurance story is anything but ordinary. We talk about how her unconventional background gives her a unique edge, and how she shows up authentically with neon multi-chrome eyebrows, full-body tattoos, and all. Miranda shares what it's like to be one of only a handful of female producers in her specialty and how she’s pushing boundaries simply by existing as her full self.

We also get into the power of industry associations and the confidence they can instill, especially for women stepping into volunteer leadership roles. Miranda is involved in organizations like the Women Builders Council and Professional Women in Construction, and she explains how those spaces not only build community but spark lifelong friendships. She’s brutally honest, fiercely authentic, and endlessly bold, reminding us that we do deserve the seat we’ve earned and should have twice the audacity of everyone in the room. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider or questioned whether you belong, this episode is the reminder you didn’t know you needed.

In this episode of InsHER, I interviewed Jen Miller, founder of Power Sales and Strategy. With more than 25 years of experience and over a decade coaching thousands of insurance professionals, Jen brings sharp insights, authenticity, and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed. But in a way you can feel happy with.

What stood out to me most was Jen’s powerful perspective on building confidence, especially for young women and introverts in an industry that often rewards the loudest voices. We dig into mentorship, intentional networking, and visibility in a remote world. From expressing your needs, to honoring your most productive hours, to designing a life and career that actually works, Jen demonstrates how leadership starts from within.

In this episode, I interview Rocio Luna, Workers’ Compensation Specialist and Risk Management Strategist. Rocio’s journey into insurance began with a simple yes. When a local agency needed help fast, she jumped in headfirst with no prior knowledge of workers’ comp. She candidly shares how Google became her best friend, how kind adjusters helped shape her foundation, and how she leaned into transparency, humility, and determination to earn her footing in a male-dominated space. Rocio opens up about those early years, the steep learning curve, and how developing client trust, especially when delivering tough news, was a cornerstone of her growth.

We also talk about how Rocio’s experience in claims gave her the structure and insight to later build out scalable processes for risk management. Her transition into sales, while brief, taught her invaluable lessons about communication, confidence, and rejection. As a 25-year-old Latina woman surrounded by seasoned "golf guys," Rocio used her intuition and deep listening skills to form real connections with clients, and realized that being different was her strength. Her message to other women in the industry is powerful: don’t let intimidation or a number define your worth. You belong at the table, and your voice matters.
