Breaking the Insurance Mold: Victoria Balke’s Fresh Take on Protecting Families
Meet Victoria Balke, a Farm Bureau insurance agent who's redefining what it means to protect families and their assets. Unlike the stereotypical insurance professional you might imagine, Victoria brings youth, authenticity, and a genuine passion for building relationships to an industry that often feels impersonal and intimidating.
Originally from Washington State, Victoria found her way to Louisiana through her husband's Air Force career and unexpectedly discovered her calling in insurance. "Insurance chose me, I didn't choose insurance," she explains, revealing how what began as a job application has blossomed into a meaningful career helping people safeguard what matters most. Now a year and a half into her journey as an agent, Victoria specializes in life insurance while also offering home and auto coverage, bringing a fresh female perspective to a traditionally male-dominated field.
Perhaps most refreshing is Victoria's commitment to debunking insurance myths. She tackles the common misconception that life insurance is prohibitively expensive, revealing that depending on factors like age and health, quality coverage can cost less than a night out at a restaurant. Beyond selling policies, Victoria cultivates authentic connections with clients—remembering birthdays, celebrating milestones, and making herself directly accessible by phone. "I want to build not just professional relationships, but friendships with my clients and help them as they grow as a person," she shares. When she's not protecting families through insurance, you'll find Victoria at CrossFit or baking, balancing her professional passion with personal interests. Ready to experience insurance service that feels personal again? Reach out to Victoria at 318-621-1122 or find her on Facebook where she maintains an active presence.

I am here with the beautiful Miss Victoria and she is a Farm Bureau insurance agent and she is so passionate about what she does and who she's doing it for. I really want you guys to hone in and listen to what she has to say and the importance of what she has the nuggets, the gems, the jewels that she's about to drop. It's our little secret, so make sure you tune in and listen up. Welcome to the show, miss Victoria. Thank you, I'm excited.
Speaker 2:Well, tell us a little bit about yourself so my name is Victoria Balki. I am an insurance agent with Farm Bureau Insurance. I'm actually not originally from Louisiana. So I was born and raised in Washington State, met the love of my life, my husband, and he joined the Air Force, and so we flew here. He's the Air Force, and so we flew here. He's getting out soon. We bought a home here.
Speaker 1:We love it here.
Speaker 2:Wow yeah, so I'm originally from here, but we've made here our home. The food is great, the people are great. We love Louisiana and everything about it. In my free time, when I'm not doing insurance which is a more than full-time career I'm in the gym, I bake, I do CrossFit, so that's really my second passion, oh wow, yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1:Why did you?
Speaker 2:decide to be an insurance agent. I honestly kind of fell into it Again, like insurance chose me. I didn't choose insurance. I applied on Indeed and I didn't even really know what I was getting myself into at first until I started doing it and I realized just how much I love it and I love the people that I help. I love the people who trust me to service their insurance and it's everything I didn't even know it would be.
Speaker 1:How long have you been doing it?
Speaker 2:I've been doing it for a year and a half, which is kind of newer to the industry, but that brings a lot of insight from a fresh perspective. When you think of your insurance agent, you think of a white 60 year old man in that ugly like red oak. You know office and all of that. That's who you think your insurance agent is. So I bring in a different perspective as a young female in the industry, which is it's different from what's already there in the insurance right now.
Speaker 1:That's true, that's true tell us one misconception that a lot of people have that just you wanna help us understand it the correct way.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I specialize in life insurance. That is really what I love to do. I do do home and auto, but for life insurance people think it's too expensive. So that is the biggest misconception. They think I wanna pay 400, 300, or even $200 a month to get life insurance. It does not have to be that expensive Depending on your age, your, your gender, if you used tobacco or not. There's some really affordable options that can be less than a night out to a restaurant really absolutely Wow.
Speaker 1:So why? Why is insurance so important?
Speaker 2:keeps you protected. So I mean for auto insurance. You think of all the billboards of all these lawyers.
Speaker 2:You know I'm not gonna name any of them, for no reason but if any of them come after you, if you're in an accident, they're gonna try to get everything they can from you. So, like auto insurance protects you against lawsuits from people trying to claim money for accidents, whether they are big or small Home insurance protects you for your home if something happens to it. I don't know about you, but I don't have enough money to replace my whole home and it burns down, exactly so just all those things are important for your financial well-being, for your family's financial well-being.
Speaker 2:You don't want to be stuck getting a new car, new home without insurance. It ain't cheap.
Speaker 1:You ain't lying. How can we contact you if we're interested in life insurance?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you can call me. My number is 318-621-1122. You can call me, text me, email me, message me on Facebook. I have a huge Facebook presence. I love when people are like hey, I saw you on Facebook. That's how I get people. Most of the time is they saw my posts or my reels that I do. So any of those platforms work for me.
Speaker 1:What's different from you than our memories? Mindset of an insurance agent I would say it's the relationship.
Speaker 2:I try to keep up with my people. When I see that they post that they had a baby, I always try to be like, oh, congratulations. Or if they get married, I try to remember birthdays as much as I can. I'm not great at that, but I do try Just keeping up with people and building a relationship over time as I grow. I love watching them grow too. As they open a business or do all these things. I want to celebrate their wins and also make sure that those things are protected at the same time. So it's a little bit different than just online auto insurance type of thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Awesome. You want to tell the people one thing that you do that's different from anyone else.
Speaker 2:I would say from anyone else. That's a great question. I would say there's multiple things, but it really is the relationship Like I'm going to follow up with you Every year, every two years, I'm going to want to sit down and go over your insurance. I'm not going to just let you figure it out and make you think, oh, do I have enough insurance? Do I need more? I'm not going to just let you figure it out and make you think, oh, do I have enough insurance? Do I need more? I'm not going to let there be any guessing room. I want you to call me. You have my direct number, you have my cell phone number and that's pretty contrary to the insurance industry today, where you go online and you get insurance online. You never even talk to somebody. You know I'm local, I'm here, I'm personal somebody. You know I'm local, I'm here, I'm personal and I want to build not just professional relationships, but I want to build friendships with my clients and help them as they grow as a person. That's beautiful.
Speaker 1:I'm invested. You guys, she has really blessed me. I actually she's actually my insurance agent. She was for a short period of, but she immediately followed me on social media, like the conversation that I had with her the very first time I met her. Her heart is in this. So I'm pleading with you Please follow her, look her up and if you need insurance and even if you don't need insurance, you have insurance with somebody else. She's personable. Everything about her is so authentic. Thank you, she is a godsend and this is something God has for her to do. Yeah, so I appreciate what you're doing in our community. Thank you, because it makes a difference. Insurance for us is scary. On the other side, we don't know what we're doing, the ins and outs of it, and to have somebody that's a friend, that is willing to invest my money, yeah, the proper way, absolutely. It means a lot. Yeah, so we thank you, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for coming on the show, thank you for having me Awesome. Well, that's it, guys, until next time. Bye, thanks for watching.
