Laura Sturm NSSA® IRMAA CP™
The Heart of an Advocate
Laura grew up with a strong sense of purpose, commitment, and faith guiding every step. Her journey shaped the woman she became: disciplined yet compassionate, competitive yet deeply caring. Her time in the Navy, where she worked on jets, reinforced her belief in perseverance and precision. Later, becoming a softball coach, Laura carried those same values forward; showing up, giving her best, and never backing down from a challenge.
That spirit carried her through a career defined by reinvention and resilience. After nearly two decades as an international softball coach, she transitioned into real estate and quickly excelled, but the work left her unfulfilled. Her passion wasn’t in transactions; it was in transformation. A chance introduction to insurance changed everything, opening her eyes to how little guidance people received when facing life transitions. Laura began helping employees understand their benefits and discovered her true calling in advocacy. Over time, her focus sharpened toward seniors and retirees, those often left behind once the workplace safety net disappeared.
Today, Laura brings that same competitive drive and servant’s heart to every client she meets. After losing her husband of 45 years, she found deeper meaning in her work, helping widows and retirees prepare before life changes happen, instead of reacting after. She believes education is empowerment, and every meeting is a chance to plant a seed of trust and understanding. For Laura, being an advocate isn’t just about Medicare; it’s about restoring confidence, offering kindness, and ensuring no one walks through life’s transitions alone.
