Find Yourself and Fulfill Your Life | Letty Benavides

Mar 8

“Until we really tap into our deeper purpose and passions, we aren't going to show up in our best for others.”

Letty Benavides is a passionate people person and self-development coach who loves to help others discover their purpose and passions. She has always been a people person, wanting to support others, create joy and learning in her life and the lives of those around her. But when she turned 49, she started to explore the concept of personal development and wellbeing, and it opened a new world of discovery and growth.

Through connections with her coach and mentor, she was encouraged to take the leap and focus on what brought her the most joy - sharing the impact of personal development with others. Now, she can support her clients in a unique way and watching their own growth journey unfold is the most rewarding experience.

Ignite a spark of purpose by:

Discovering how a late start to personal development led to immense growth and fulfillment
Exploring the power of deep conversations and connection in developing a personal brand
Examining the role of mentors and coaches in empowering individuals to believe in themselves

"When I started my growth journey, I had zero people in my life that could understand. And I needed people that were on a journey at the same level as myself. I needed people that could mentor me. I wanted to contribute to people that were just learning."

Episode Highlights

[00:03:36] For a while, I think the personal development self help space was seen as very hokey or self serving, which is why I want to put personal development concepts in front of more people.

[00:13:48] It was time to switch careers from Copywriting to Entrepreneurial coaching last year when the joy was in writing about the value that comes out of personal development.

[00:19:23] Having the right people around you is crucial. Having a coach, having a mentor, having people that can look into your life and go like, you're capable of doing this stuff too. Trust that it's going to take you further.

[00:23:46] A coach needs to be on a growth journey themselves. If they just feel like they've got it all figured out, that's probably not the right coach for you. Find someone that is super intentional about their own health and it will make such a difference in your own.

[00:31:47] Letty’s newsletter, Nurture the Seed, is a deeper dive for people that are curious about how to truly change their lives around.

[00:38:31] Investing in yourself isn't just a financial thing. It's the other areas you can invest in that don't cost money.

[00:41:11] Unlearning is part of the growth journey. When you start removing things that were already on that plate to begin with that aren't serving you, then you're going to create space needed to continue adding new things.
