Igniting Equity: Insights from 100+ Conversations on the InsHER Podcast - LIVE Recording October 7, 2026
This special episode was recorded from a webinar in partnership with the Women In Insurance Collective (WIIC). Drawing from over 100 candid interviews across the industry, this webinar moves past corporate buzzwords to share the collective wisdom and lived experiences of women in insurance. InsHER host and WIIC Communications & Awareness Committee co-lead, Megan Bell, asks every guest a single, powerful question: “If you had a seat in the C-suite, what would you do to create a more equitable playing field?” This session unpacks the patterns found in those answers, revealing that for many leaders, true equity is an ongoing balancing act rather than a checkbox exercise. Join us for a human-centered discussion exploring the ideas, suggestions, and realities shared by the InsHER guests. We’ll examine operational friction, long-standing industry norms, and ideas of how to approach sustainable progress while maintaining organizational balance.

In this episode, I was thrilled to interview industry leaders Sabrina Hart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Munich Re Specialty Insurance North America, Christina Colby, Chief Customer Officer at Guidewire, and Rita Jupe, Founder of The Jupe Group, for an engaging discussion in partnership with the ISC Group. The group explored the remarkable two-decade evolution of ISC Group, reflecting on how this global community has grown from early gatherings into a powerful development program that actively shapes leadership pipelines and drives inclusive cultures. The three leaders discussed the unique community spirit of the insurance industry, which is rooted in a shared mission to protect society, and emphasized why diversity and inclusion must be treated as strategic business enablers rather than mere HR checkboxes.

The group closed with valuable insights for C-suite leaders on fostering equitable playing fields through intentional succession planning, spotting non-obvious talent, and modeling active sponsorship and mentorship.

Time for an Upgrade: Kateryna Monastyrska on Modern Tech and Motherhood
In this episode, I interview Kateryna Monastyrska, Head of Sales and Marketing at DICEUS, for a candid conversation on modernizing insurance technology and leading with purpose. Kateryna shares how a custom software project first drew her into the industry, highlighting the striking contrast between the complex, high-stakes decisions insurers make every day and the outdated, spreadsheet-heavy systems supporting them. We dive into how alternative risk organizations, captive managers, and RRGs can move away from legacy processes to achieve real efficiency, and why successful AI adoption must always start with solving a clear business problem rather than just chasing tech trends. Beyond digital transformation, Kateryna reflects on the uniquely open and supportive community of women in insurance, sharing how high-level mentorship from female C-suite leaders helped shape her own career trajectory. She opens up about the realities of balancing an ambitious insurtech career with motherhood across time zones, the power of leading through trust and results over optics, and her vision for building true equity, from sponsoring women into key roles to attracting top talent earlier into our industry.

Hair Today, Gone to a Good Cause: Natalie Golubski on Putting Others First
In this episode, I interview Natalie Golubski, Professional Lines Broker at Jencap Group. Natalie shared how she initially found insurance through a family connection at Russell Bond and why she's stayed: the incredible people, the deep-rooted Buffalo insurance community, and an office culture where colleagues truly feel like family. We dive into how mastering operational foundations built the strong base she relies on as a producer today, and why she believes bringing your 100% authentic self to work beats wearing a corporate mask every single time. Natalie also shares her deep commitment to giving back, from her leadership roles across local insurance organizations like the Insurance Women of Buffalo to her viral "Bald for Bucks" challenge where she raised over $6,300 for the Roswell Park Cancer Institute and donated her hair to support children facing hair loss. Natalie also shares her vision for a more equitable playing field in our industry by introducing diverse, lower-income students to insurance careers early on.

Stephanie shares her unexpected journey into insurance after starting out as a computer science nerd, and how those early tech roots continue to fuel her adaptability and curiosity today. We also dive deep into her powerhouse background as a Division I tennis alumna and endurance athlete, exploring how the discipline, structure, and lessons learned from handling defeat gracefully have shaped her professional resilience. Beyond her athletic and career milestones, Stephanie offers powerful insights into modern leadership, discussing how she fosters a safe, collaborative environment for her team by treating mistakes as solvable learning opportunities rather than reasons for fear. We also examine the evolution of female leadership since the 1990s, the importance of embracing authentic strengths, and what it truly takes to drive sustainable, top-down equity and inclusion in the insurance industry so that leadership genuinely reflects a diverse customer base.

In this episode, in partnership with the National African American Insurance Association (NAAIA), I interview Susan Johnson, Chief Culture Officer at The Hartford and Vice Chair of NAAIA's Board of Directors, for a deeply insightful conversation about what it truly means to build sustainable, value-driven inclusion within the insurance industry. Susan shares her unique journey into insurance from outside the traditional mold, offering a refreshing perspective on why we need to look beyond the same talent sources, rethink job descriptions, and tell a much broader, more compelling story about the diverse career paths available in our industry. Susan also shares how organizations can move past surface-level checklists and embed cultural belonging directly into everyday business operations, leadership behaviors, and talent systems. Susan provides incredible wisdom on navigating organizational transformation without putting culture on hold, fostering non-judgmental curiosity among all employees, and how executives can leverage strategic partnerships with organizations like NAAIA to drive real business and talent results.
