My parents bought me insurance from my insurance agent uncle since I was born. But I wish to switch to another agent from another company. is that possible?

My uncle isn't the best insurance agent, and because he's my uncle, I can't really criticize him either. So I rather just have my own trusted agent. However, I have quite a few insurance policies under him including whole life and CI insurance. Any options for me? Or am I better off staying the course with the current plans?
