My Journey: From Loss to Purpose
When you think of insurance, what comes to mind? Often, it’s a heavy burden or a daunting task filled with complex terminology and pressure to commit. My name is Maria Olivar, and I’m here to change that narrative. With over 10 years of experience in the insurance industry, I am dedicated to transforming how people view insurance from fear-based selling into a journey of trust-based planning.
Life has a funny way of leading us down paths we never expected. Years ago, I faced the unimaginable when my late husband passed away unexpectedly. He left behind not just a void in my life, but also a glaring lack of financial protection. No life insurance. No safety net. In an instant, I became a single parent confronting not only the emotional turmoil of grief but also the overwhelming burden of financial responsibility.
The experience was harrowing. The fear of the unknown, paired with the reality of bills, everyday expenses, and planning for the future, was more than I could handle at times. This life-altering event ignited a passion within me to ensure that others wouldn’t face the same struggles. I stepped into the insurance industry with a single goal: to help families like yours protect their future.

My Vision: Insurance with Empathy and Education
In the past, the insurance industry has often been viewed as a necessary evil – a realm filled with high-pressure sales tactics and complex jargon designed to confuse. I envision a different future: one where insurance planning is an enlightening and empowering experience. My approach is grounded in education, empathy, and genuine connection.
My mission is to ensure that you understand each aspect of your insurance plan. It shouldn’t be a mystery; it should be a clearly outlined map of how to safeguard your life and legacy. Here’s how I intend to accomplish this:
Education-based Planning: I take the time to educate my clients on the various insurance products available. This involves explaining how each plan works, the benefits, and potential outcomes so you can make informed decisions.
Personalized Framework: Everyone’s needs are different. My approach involves crafting unique plans that fit your specific circumstances, preferences, and future goals.
Beyond the Sale: I believe that my role as an insurance broker extends beyond just selling policies. I am here for the long haul, ready to support you even beyond the point of sale. Emergency? Questions? Changes in circumstances? I’m just a call away.

These services are designed to provide peace of mind and optimize your financial future.
The Importance of Trust in Insurance
In my practice, I place immense value on building a trustworthy relationship with my clients. Trust is essential, especially in a field that deals with the uncertainties of life. This trust is fostered through transparency, integrity, and consistent communication. I encourage my clients to ask questions, voice their concerns, and express their needs. After all, this is about securing your legacy.
A 2024 study from LIMRA highlights that nearly one third of Canadians either do not have life insurance or are underinsured. This gap often stems from distrust and misinformation about insurance options.
It’s my goal to bridge that gap and empower you through knowledge and understanding, while making the insurance process feel approachable rather than daunting.

As we navigate the unpredictable waters of life, having a plan in place is crucial. I approach every client meeting with the mindset of empathy and understanding, because I know how painful it can be to face uncertainties unprepared. My past has shaped my approach, driving me to protect families from the struggles I once faced.
