The Purple Medicare Lady
Talk to Barbara, It's FreeHonest guidance you can trust
I don't get paid more for steering you toward one plan — that's what keeps my advice honest.
Tell Me About You
A free call with me — I'll take the time to understand your health, goals, and budget. No rushing. I meet you wherever you are.
Get Your Simple Plan
Clear recommendations made just for you — in plain English. You'll always know why I'm suggesting what I'm suggesting.
Sleep Well at Night
The hard part is done. Now you relax knowing your plan was built from the ground up — the right way, for your life.
People with a retirement plan feel confident about retiring. 83% of them, in fact. Without one, that number drops to just 38%.

Medicare is often where we start —
but not where we stop
Most people come to us for Medicare — so that's a natural place to start. Already have Medicare handled? Want to talk income or long-term care? We can start right there.
Medicare & Healthcare
Find the right plan without overpaying or getting stuck with surprise costs. This is where we begin.
Long-Term Care
Protect your right to age on your own terms, without becoming a burden to your family or draining your savings.
Life Insurance & Legacy
Make sure the people you love are taken care of, even after you're gone.
Annuities & Income
Keep your money safe so it grows without risk, and lasts as long as you do.
We also help with Social Security timing and Trusts & Wills.
We make sure you're not one of them.
Nearly half of retirees leave work earlier than planned, whether it's a health scare, a layoff, or something they never saw coming. Being retirement ready means that when the moment comes, it's your decision, not something that happens to you.
