Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Cinthia Jensen of Redondo Beach

Cinthia Jensen shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Cinthia, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What are you most proud of building — that nobody sees?
What I am most proud of is the consistency I’ve built toward the goals I’m aiming to accomplish. There are so many steps involved in getting where I want to be, and I’ve learned that the key is taking it one step at a time. It’s okay to make mistakes—they teach me valuable lessons and help me grow.
I’m proud of the time and effort I’ve put into building my business as a content creator and influencer. Beyond that, I love fashion, and being recognized as a model has opened many doors for me.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
As a beach mom of two sons and a dedicated accountant, I also work as a content creator and influencer. I genuinely enjoy developing creative, high-quality content for brands and building strong, long-term relationships with the companies I partner with.
My background in accounting has strengthened my attention to detail, time management, and organizational skills—all of which carry over into my work in the digital space. Balancing motherhood, a professional career, and content creation has taught me discipline, consistency, and adaptability.
I take pride in creating content that feels authentic, delivers value, and supports a brand’s vision while connecting genuinely with my audience.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
Growing up in a Catholic school, I was raised with very traditional expectations finish school, work a stable job, get married, and raise a family. For a long time, I believed I had to follow that exact path, even though deep down I always felt different. I didn’t have the self-esteem or confidence to pursue what truly inspired me, and that held me back from many opportunities.
As I got older, life experiences and challenges taught me that I’m capable of so much more. I began rebuilding my confidence, learning to trust myself, and reconnecting with the passions I had from the beginning—especially modeling. Little by little, I’ve grown into someone who believes in her abilities and embraces every win, no matter how small. I’m not in a rush; I want to enjoy every moment of this journey.
I now know that I am capable of achieving so much, and I believe the same is true for anyone willing to believe in themselves. The key is trusting your own potential and giving yourself permission to follow your dreams.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
If I could say something to my younger self, it would be to take the chances, believe in yourself, let go of fear, and trust the process. The journey will be bumpy and far from easy, but in the end you’ll be proud that you tried—whether it worked out or not.
Today, I’m committed to pushing forward no matter what challenges come my way. I’m willing to invest the time, effort, and vulnerability it takes to grow, and I refuse to give up even when things get difficult. I would rather say I gave it my all and tried than live with the regret of never taking the risk.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Where are smart people getting it totally wrong today?
What many people get wrong today is wanting to reach the top of the mountain without climbing it themselves—without facing the risks, obstacles, setbacks, and slow progress that are part of the journey. Real growth comes from slipping, falling back a few steps, and choosing to keep climbing anyway. That resilience, that refusal to give up, is what pushes us forward and reconnects us with our purpose.
The climb is challenging, but it’s also deeply rewarding. Every struggle teaches us something valuable. Every setback builds strength. And every step forward shapes us into the person who is capable of achieving the goals we once only dreamed of. Success isn’t just reaching the top it’s everything we learn along the way.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
If I had only ten years left, the first thing I would stop is overthinking the future and all the “what ifs.” I would let go of chasing things that don’t truly matter to my life or career things that add pressure but not purpose. Instead, I would focus on what I already have, appreciating the present moment and everything it offers.
I would spend more time with my family, make memories that last, and travel as much as possible. Life is too precious to be spent worrying about what’s next when the beauty of now is right in front of us.
