We Have Started a New Substack, The NoCo Risk Report ⭐
Updated: Oct 6
Starting something new is always exciting, especially when it combines our passions and expertise. We are thrilled to announce the launch of The NoCo Risk Report, a fresh Substack newsletter dedicated to sharing stories, insights, and practical advice about insurance — all from the perspective of single moms living and working in Northern Colorado.
This Friday marks the beginning of our weekly podcast, where we will dive deeper into topics that matter most to you. We want to make insurance simple, relatable, and useful. Whether you’re trying to understand your coverage better, figure out what to do when you need to file a claim, or just want tips on how to make your hard-earned dollars work smarter, we’ve got you covered.
Why We Started The NoCo Risk Report
Being a single mom is a full-time job on its own. Add the responsibility of managing insurance policies, and it can feel overwhelming. We know this firsthand. As licensed insurance agents and single mothers, we’ve faced the challenge of balancing family life with the need to protect what matters most.
We wanted to create a space where we could share our personal stories and professional knowledge in a way that feels approachable and helpful. Insurance doesn’t have to be confusing or intimidating. Our goal is to break it down into clear, easy-to-understand pieces that anyone can use.
We’ll talk about real-life situations, like what to do when you have a claim, how to read your policy without getting lost in the jargon, and ways to save money without sacrificing coverage. We want to empower you to feel confident about your insurance choices.
What You Can Expect From Our Newsletter and Podcast
Every week, we’ll bring you fresh content that covers:
Personal stories from our lives as single moms in Northern Colorado. These stories will show you how insurance fits into everyday life.
Insurance tips and tricks that help you understand your coverage better.
Step-by-step guides on handling claims and making the most of your policies.
Money-saving advice to help you stretch your budget while staying protected.
Interviews and guest speakers who bring additional insights from the insurance world and beyond.
Our podcast will be a relaxed, friendly conversation where we share these topics in more detail. We want it to feel like chatting with a trusted friend who just happens to know a lot about insurance.
How We Make Insurance Easy to Understand
Insurance can feel like a maze of confusing terms and fine print. We’ve been there, and we know how frustrating it can be. That’s why we focus on clarity and simplicity.
For example, when we talk about homeowners insurance, we explain what typical policies cover and what they don’t. We’ll share tips on how to check if your policy protects your belongings, your home structure, and liability. We’ll also explain how to handle claims if something happens, like a burst pipe or storm damage.
We also cover auto insurance basics, like understanding liability limits, collision coverage, and how to save money by bundling policies. We’ll share stories about real claims and what worked best for us.
One of the services we often recommend is umbrella insurance. This type of policy provides extra liability coverage beyond your standard home and auto insurance. It’s a smart way to protect your assets if something unexpected happens. You can learn more about umbrella insurance and how it fits into your overall protection plan.
Insurance Products We Recommend
We want to share a few insurance products that we believe are especially useful for families and individuals in Northern Colorado. These are not just products we sell; they are tools we use and trust ourselves.
Homeowners Insurance
Homeowners insurance is essential for protecting your home and belongings. It covers damage from fire, theft, storms, and other risks. We help clients find policies that fit their needs and budgets, making sure they understand what is covered and what isn’t.
Auto Insurance
Auto insurance protects you on the road. We guide you through choosing the right coverage levels, understanding deductibles, and knowing what to do if you get into an accident. We also explain how to save money by bundling your auto and home insurance.
Umbrella Insurance
Umbrella insurance adds an extra layer of liability protection. It’s especially helpful if you have assets to protect or want peace of mind beyond your basic policies. We explain how umbrella insurance works and when it makes sense to add it to your coverage.

Tips for Making Your Hard-Earned Dollars Work for You
Insurance is an investment in your peace of mind. We want to help you get the most value from it. Here are some tips we share often:
Review your policies yearly. Life changes, and so should your coverage. Make sure your insurance matches your current needs.
Bundle your policies. Many insurers offer discounts if you buy home and auto insurance together.
Ask about discounts. Good driver, security systems, and loyalty discounts can save you money.
Understand your deductibles. Choosing a higher deductible can lower your premium but means more out-of-pocket costs if you file a claim.
Keep records organized. Having your policy documents and receipts handy makes claims easier.
We’ll cover these tips and more in our newsletter and podcast, with examples from our own experiences.
