From Loss to Leadership: One Woman's Journey in the Male-Dominated Insurance Industry

I Am Unbreakable®

Life's journey is often unpredictable, a tapestry woven from the threads of our choices, circumstances, and the indomitable human spirit. This is the story of one woman's remarkable journey through adversity, reinvention, and success. Her name is Mara Dorne, and her story is a testament to resilience, determination, and the unbreakable quality of the soul.

Mara's life began in middle America, raised by a strong single mother who instilled in her that college was not a choice; it was a destiny. Bound by a scripted life trajectory, she pursued higher education with the single-minded goal of becoming a lawyer—seemingly the only career her upbringing would deem acceptable. With a master’s degree in criminal justice, she was on the fast track to law school, ready to embody the dreams that were chosen for her.

However, in 2008, life as Mara knew it crumbled. The economic downturn struck with a ferocity that spared few. Mara, newly married and a mother, faced the collapse of her family's businesses. What followed was a daunting realization: no law school, no clear path forward.

Corporate America proved inhospitable to Mara, her talents overlooked or undervalued. Her identity as an educated and capable professional was shaken as she grappled with the harsh job market realities. It was in this period of intense struggle that serendipity played its hand—during a chance encounter while seeking health insurance, Mara unknowingly embarked on a path that would redefine her life. You will never believe what she did next!

I absolutely love Mara and everything she stands for. Her story is one of fearlessness, resilience and courage. She is evidence that perseverance , a fierce mindset in tandem with hard work, is the key to success.

"I am the second person to ever eclipse a billion dollars in sales. Ironically, the first one is a woman who happens to be my best friend."~Mara

Mara's story is not just a blueprint for aspiring entrepreneurs or a tale for women seeking to carve their niche; it's a universal chronicle of hope, grit, and the unyielding spirit of the unbreakable soul.
