Imperfectly Perfect

When was the last time you stopped long enough to recognize just how much you’ve lived, learned, and accomplished?An old journal, an inky blue pen, a candle burning, incense drifting through the room, and a cup of sage tea sweetened with local honey. Sometimes the richest moments begin when we slow down enough to remember.In this episode of Rich in Every Sense, we’re giving ourselves some damn credit. Not just for the big accomplishments, but for the unexpected adventures, the lessons, the courage, and all the ways we’ve grown along the way.Because we’re often so busy looking at what’s next that we forget to appreciate how far we’ve already come.Pour yourself something delicious, find a quiet moment, and remember the life you’ve already created.Live your legacy now.

What if the secret to a richer life isn’t doing more, but experiencing more?I’m talking about the delicious little pleasures, wildly creative adventures, outrageous ideas, and faraway places that make us feel gloriously alive.Think torn rustic Italian bread dipped in beautiful olive oil, prosciutto sliced impossibly thin, dark chocolate worth savoring, and an espresso that deserves your undivided attention. Then let’s get a little adventurous. Glassblowing? Falconry? Archery on horseback? Why not?In this episode of Rich in Every Sense, we’re making room for curiosity, pleasure, play, and the things we’ve always wanted to try. Not because they’re practical. Not because they’ll make us more productive. Simply because this is our one delicious life, and I intend to savor it.And now I want to know: What’s the coolest, strangest, most creative, or wonderfully outrageous thing you’ve ever done or dream of doing?Tell me! Your idea might inspire someone else’s next adventure. And fair warning, I may need to add it to my list.Rich in Every Sense with Jen Valentino

How long have you been getting ready for something you already know you want?One more adjustment. A little more research. The perfect plan. Perfection knows how to make waiting sound responsible.In this episode of Rich in Every Sense, I explore the standards that help us grow and the expectations that keep us from moving.And this one made me practice what I preach. I was coming down with a cold, my energy felt blah, and so much went sideways. I wanted to re-record, raise the bar, and give you a version I felt better about.But babe, holding back an episode about perfection because it wasn’t perfect? I could hear the irony from here.So I took my own advice. Made the edits (they're not perfect). Kept the heart. Let it be heard.Inside this episode:When preparation becomes a very convincing excuse.Having standards without making perfection the price of admission.Showing up amid dishes, distractions, and real single-mom life.Following through before everything feels exactly right.Take it into your life:Where has “I could make this better” become “I haven’t let myself begin”? Choose one step you can take with what you have today.Follow Rich in Every Sense with Jen Valentino for more conversations about wealth, desire, self-mastery, and a life you actually enjoy living.Music: Blues-Rock Instrumental 13 by alanajordan, via Pixabay.

Some could use a respectful retirement.In this episode of Rich in Every Sense, I share memories of my grandmother’s homemade bread and the bold, loving honesty that still lives in me. From the pleasure of good food to the patterns that keep us quiet, overworked, or questioning our worth, we explore what deserves to keep moving through us—and what we’re ready to release.Inside this episode:The everyday memories that become our richest inheritance.Loving honesty and being held without being carried.Inherited scarcity, self-doubt, and the fear of speaking up.Creating a legacy through how we live, love, and enjoy life today.Take it into your life:What do you want to carry forward from the people who shaped you?

I’ve suffered 75 fractures, and have had 12 surgical procedures. Each of the long bones in my legs is equipped with steel rods. I used a wheelchair when I was a kid, started using crutches in high school, and took my first unassisted steps when I was 24 years old.  At 42, I thought I’d had a heart attack and was prompted to make some big changes. It was quite a journey as I navigated the delicate relationship between exercise and my brittle bones. But once I did, it was magic! I'm the healthiest I've ever been, and I realize how much I can help others get past their barriers!  I am committed to helping all those that desire to live an #UNBREAKABLE life achieve it.  This passion has led to me writing my book, speaking at various events, and creating resources that will spread the Be #UNBREAKABLE message!"  📣 Connect with Tony:  https://www.facebook.com/iamtonyjacobsen https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamtonyjacobsen/ https://www.instagram.com/iamtonyjacobsen/🎧 #unbreakable with Tony - https://open.spotify.com/show/45JrrDpOkkptGZVkj2umPe?si=c807b353c86b4e42
