TRAILER: "I'm not prepped for this, there was no class" - Losing one (or both) parent(s) while working in insurance with Precious Norman Walton and The Salty Adjuster

"When mom took her final breath, dad was sitting by her side, holding her hand. Eight months to the day, dad decided to join her. As an insurance professional, I think the hardest thing was getting into the mindset of 'I'm the insured. I'm the bereaved.' Their house burned down that July. I had to jump into that mode, going back and forth with adjusters." - Precious Norman Walton CPCU, SHRM-CP, AIC, AIS, AINS, ACS, TRIP"I lost my mom last year. I came home from a CAT deployment and both my parents went into the hospital on the same day. My boss was texting me about a claim and I was like 'I'll call you back later, I just found out my mom is gonna die." - SaltyNote from The Salty Adjuster Team: This isn't the episode we anticipated it would be. We had a list of questions for Precious, one of the foremost leaders in our industry, about everything insurance-career-related. But Salty and Precious found common ground in recently losing one or both parents within the same year, an experience unlike any other experience. We let the mics keep rolling on a cathartic, heart-opening, real dialogue that everyone needed.We're presenting this raw, unflinching trailer without edits and will also present the full episode this week without commercial interruption or production announcements. The song at the end of the trailer is by the band Touché Amoré, whose heartwrenching songs and lyrics about the death of his own mother are favorites of Salty.If you need support managing grief or loss, call 998, check out friends of the show Project55 (Brenden Corr and Justin Goodman), The SAFE Project (Cal Beyer, CWP, NAC) or visit The Salty Adjuster reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSaltyAdjusterPod) where you can interact directly with Salty and Producer Brett .
