About this listen

In this episode, I interview three incredible women: Yolanda Austin, Katie Hughes, and Candace Duncan. Each of them has built a unique path in insurance, from claims to data and AI governance to industry standards, but the common thread is community. We talked about our involvement in the Women in Insurance Initiative and how it’s created a space where women can connect across roles, companies, and experiences, not just to network, but to truly support one another.

There are honest moments around confidence, mentorship, and growth. We talked about the pressure to be perfect, the tendency to put others first, and how mentorship, community, and even small moments of encouragement can change the trajectory of a career. We also explored what the future of our industry requires, not just technical skills, but empathy, communication, and ethical thinking.
