Theresa Says: Empowering Women in the Insurance Industry: "I think what I really want people to get from it is you can do anything you want your career is not over because you're in a certain position and maybe you can't change or you can't do stuff. We are the ones in power. We're the ones making that decision for our lives."— Theresa Kitchens Empowering Teams in the Industry: "We need to release a little bit more, and we need to empower our teams because, like, as a parent... We guide them. We teach them. We love them when they need to cry, and we empower them when they need to feel stronger."— Theresa Kitchens
