Meet Yanira Puy | Inspirational Wellness Speaker & Founder

We had the good fortune of connecting with Yanira Puy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Yanira, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind my success, and the success of my company, is my commitment to personal growth and self-care; and to show up for myself everyday. I prioritize nurturing my mindset, taking care of my body, practicing gratitude, and cultivating resilience, among others.

By investing in myself and maintaining a positive and resilient mindset, I’ve been able to overcome obstacles, adapt to challenges, and continuously push myself to grow and improve. Taking care of my physical and mental well-being has not only enhanced my productivity and creativity but has also enabled me to show up as my best self for my company and my customers. My daily routine includes meditating and affirmations in the morning and at night. I also include at least one hour of movement/exercise. I nurture my body with healthy food and I eat at home around 90% of the time.

And I have to say that gratitude has been key to my growth and success. As soon as I wake up I start being grateful for everything. Gratitude serves as a guiding principle in my journey, reminding me to appreciate every step of the way and to remain humble amidst achievements. It fuels my motivation and keeps me grounded, allowing me to stay connected to my purpose and values.

In essence, the foundation of my success lies in the daily dedication to self-improvement and being there for me. These practices not only shape who I am as an individual but also define the essence of my brand and the journey towards success.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My journey to where I am today in business has been far from easy, but every challenge has been an opportunity for growth and learning. Believing in myself and the power I have to create my own future has been a fundamental part of my path to success.

With a background spanning two decades in marketing across Venezuela, the United States, and Colombia, my career took a transformative turn when I discovered a specialized school focused on wellness. This led to my passion for service and a commitment to empowering individuals and organizations to achieve holistic well-being. I found my purpose!

Pivoting my career was challenging but everyday I feel everything falls into place. I heard one time something like this “when you protect your purpose, the universe will conspire to make it happen”. This has been key to my success: having a clear direction, taking the action and waiting for it to happen.

One of the key ways I overcome challenges is by fostering a growth mindset. Instead of viewing difficulties as roadblocks, I embrace them as chances to innovate and evolve. I also seek out mentors and peers for guidance.

The biggest lesson I have learned in this path is that each one of us is capable of creating the future we deserve and desire. The power is within us. And that is what I work with my clients both corporate and individuals.

Yanira Puy Health & Wellness is on a mission to inspire individuals to change their health, heal themselves and create the life they desire and deserve feeling alive and energetic. I have helped thousands of people with my coaching practice, online programs, classes, webinars, workshops, conferences, articles and podcast. I am a certified wellness coach and brain health trainer, with a master´s degree in health coaching.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would start the day with a hike around my house to the West Palisades at the Chattahoochee River, exploring the park’s scenic trails. Then an exciting mid day of tubing. Rent tubes from a local outfitter and float down the river, soaking in the sunshine and refreshing waters.

For lunch I would take her to Lassetters my favorite place to eat hot wings! In the afternoon, we can explore the Atlanta Botanical Garden, home to a diverse collection of plants and beautiful outdoor exhibits.

For dinner, I love Canoe, a renowned restaurant situated on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, offering seasonal cuisine in a picturesque setting.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
The Latin America Association has been an invaluable source of support, guidance, and empowerment on my journey as an entrepreneur. I had the amazing opportunity to participate in its entrepreneurship program “Avanzando Juntas”, which provided me resources, mentorship, and a supportive community for women like me who are navigating the challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurship.

Their dedication to fostering the growth and success of women-owned businesses is truly commendable. Thanks to the Latin America Association and the Avanzando Juntas program, I’ve been able to access invaluable resources, build meaningful connections, and gain the confidence and skills needed to take my business to the next level. I also volunteer there as a wellness advocate for women and older adults.

I am also grateful for my friends and family. For trusting me and believing in my purpose.
