Margie Dunki-Jacobs: Breathing Forward Through Life’s Challenges and Turning Possibility into Purpose

Margie Dunki-Jacobs livewabisabi

Some women inspire through their achievements, while others inspire through the wisdom they gain along the way. Margie Dunki-Jacobs is one such woman. An international bestselling author, speaker, mentor, retreat leader, CEO Funding Partner, and AI Video Expert, Margie’s journey is a powerful reminder that success begins from within. Featured in LiveWabiSabi for her unwavering resilience, self-belief, and passion for empowering others, her story encourages women of all ages to embrace their imperfections, trust their inner strength, and remember that it is never too late to reinvent themselves and create a life they love.


Her WabiSabi Life Story

Margie Dunki-Jacobs has spent over four decades building a successful career and more than ten years as an entrepreneur dedicated to helping others transform ideas into income and dreams into reality. Through coaching, live events, retreats, business funding solutions, and AI-powered marketing strategies, she empowers individuals to build confidence, create financial opportunities, and discover greater purpose in their lives.


Yet her greatest transformation was not professional, it was personal. The part of her that once felt broken was not her ability to succeed, but her belief in her own worth, voice, and limitless potential. Through life's disappointments, setbacks, losses, and challenges, she learned to heal the self-doubt that once sought validation from others.


Today, that healing shines like gold through the cracks, much like the Japanese art of Kintsugi. Her renewed confidence fuels her purpose and allows her to help others recognize the strength, wisdom, and greatness that already exist within them. She now lives with the powerful understanding that true validation comes from within and nowhere else.


Her Daily Dose of SelfLoveShots

For Margie, self-love is not about perfection, it is about presence.


Her mornings begin with meditation and moments of quiet reflection. She finds joy in nature, treasures peaceful moments with her rabbit and dog, and cherishes coffee conversations with her husband on their back patio. Self-love also means honoring her boundaries, protecting her peace, and extending the same compassion to herself that she freely gives to others.


At the heart of her daily practice is a simple yet profound belief: she is enough exactly as she is, while remaining open to continual growth and learning.


Her Proudest Moment

One of Margie's proudest moments came after a challenging two-year journey renovating and selling her first fix-and-flip property.


After navigating countless obstacles, uncertainties, and fears about whether the property would ever sell, she finally sat at the closing table signing the final documents. In that moment, she wasn't simply selling a house, she was proving to herself that persistence, faith, and determination could carry her through uncertainty and into success.


The overwhelming weight of "what if it doesn't work" was replaced with the satisfaction of knowing that it did.


Being Part of LiveWabiSabi Stories

For Margie, being part of LiveWabiSabi means contributing to the hope the world needs today.


She believes that sharing authentic stories creates meaningful impact. By opening up about her experiences, she hopes to inspire others, awaken possibilities they may not yet see within themselves, and encourage people to embrace their own journeys with courage and optimism.


Her story is not simply about personal success, it is about creating connection, encouragement, and inspiration that reaches people across the globe.


Her Biggest Cheerleader

While many people point to one individual as their strongest supporter, Margie considers herself incredibly blessed to be surrounded by a circle of love and encouragement and finds strength in a collective community.


At the centre of that circle is her loving husband of more than 40 years, who has stood faithfully by her side through every chapter of life. She is also deeply grateful for her beautiful youngest sister, whose unwavering presence, wisdom, and unconditional love have a remarkable way of grounding her and bringing her back to what matters most.


Margie's two cherished, lovely daughters have been among her greatest teachers, showing her a depth of love she never knew was possible. Through them, she has learned the beauty of loving fiercely and living boldly without limits.


Beyond her family, Margie finds great strength in the friendships she has been blessed to cultivate throughout her life. Each relationship has contributed to the person she has become, adding richness to the story she continues to write.


She continues to find encouragement, accountability, and inspiration through business associates and entrepreneurs she connects with regularly, and the high-level networking groups she actively participates in that allow her to be surrounded by people who lead with service, generosity, and purpose.


For Margie, community is a powerful reminder that no one succeeds alone. It is built on love, connection, community, and the people who believe in us, walk beside us, and remind us of who we are and what’s possible for our lives.


Her Message to Other Women

Margie's message is beautifully simple:

Life is meant to be enjoyed.

Not because it is always easy, but because every experience, whether joyful or painful, holds valuable lessons that help shape who we become. Heartbreaks, setbacks, disappointments, and challenges are not obstacles to life; they are part of the journey.


This belief inspired the name of her empowerment company, Breathing Forward. No matter what life brings, she believes we must keep breathing forward, growing, learning, loving, and choosing possibility over despair.


You do not have to be perfect to create a beautiful life. Your scars, imperfections, and experiences are part of your unique gift. When you trust yourself, embrace your journey, and continue moving forward with an open heart, you not only transform your own life, you inspire others to do the same.


"No matter what life brings, keep breathing forward. Your imperfections, your scars, and your story are not flaws, they are part of the gift you were meant to share with the world." ~ Margie Dunki-Jacobs
