When Should You Review Your Insurance?
(Hint: It’s Not Just Once)
Many people review their insurance once—when they first put it in place—and assume the job is done.
That’s understandable. At the time, the decision felt responsible and complete.
But insurance isn’t meant to exist in a snapshot of your life.
It’s meant to support a life that continues to grow, shift, and evolve.
For professional women entrepreneurs, regular review isn’t about urgency or fear—it’s about alignment.
Insurance Is Placed at One Point in Time
Most insurance is set up during a specific season:
- Early in a career
- When starting a family
- When buying a home
- When launching a business
At that moment, the structure likely made sense.
But life doesn’t stand still.
Over time, income changes, responsibilities increase, and priorities shift. Without review, coverage that once fit well can quietly fall out of alignment
Life Changes That Often Signal It’s Time for a Review
Insurance reviews don’t need to be frequent or complicated—but certain changes are worth paying attention to.
Starting or Growing a Business
If you’ve become self-employed, incorporated, or significantly grown your business, your income and financial exposure may look very different than before.
Changes in Income
Increases, decreases, or variability in income can affect how protection should be structured.
Children or New Dependents
When people rely on you financially, insurance decisions carry different weight and purpose.
Shifts in Family Dynamics
Marriage, separation, blended families, or caregiving responsibilities can all affect how coverage should function.
Time Has Simply Passed
Even without major events, time alone is a reason to review. Coverage that hasn’t been looked at in years may no longer reflect your current reality.
Reviews Don’t Have to Be Stressful
One common reason people avoid reviews is the assumption that they’ll be complicated or sales-driven.
They don’t need to be.
A thoughtful review is simply an opportunity to:
- Revisit why coverage was put in place
- Confirm it still aligns with your life and responsibilities
- Clarify ownership, beneficiaries, and structure
- Make adjustments only if needed
Often, the outcome of a review is reassurance—not change.
Why Reviews Matter for Women Entrepreneurs
As a woman entrepreneur, you often carry responsibility in multiple directions:
- Your household
- Your business
- Your income
- Your long-term plans
Insurance that supports all of these areas requires periodic attention—not constant management, but intentional check-ins.
Reviews help ensure your protection continues to support the life you’re actually living, not the life you had years ago.
There’s No “Perfect” Timing—Only Appropriate Timing
Insurance reviews don’t need to happen on a strict schedule.
They’re most valuable when they coincide with:
- Life transitions
- Business growth
- Increased responsibility
- A sense of uncertainty or unanswered questions
If you’re wondering whether it’s time, that curiosity alone is often a sign that a conversation could be helpful.
A Simple Question to Ask Yourself
If something unexpected happened tomorrow, would you feel confident that your current insurance reflects your present-day life and responsibilities?
If you’re not sure, a review doesn’t mean something is wrong—it simply means you care about clarity.
If You’d Like to Review Things Thoughtfully
If you’re a professional woman entrepreneur with dependents and would like to review your insurance in a calm, pressure-free way, you’re welcome to book a confidential planning conversation.
This is not a sales call.
It’s an opportunity to make sure your protection still fits.
