Meet Cyn Bastos

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Cyn Bastos. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Cyn below.

Cyn, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?
My journey into discovering my life purpose began by first delving deep into self-discovery and authenticity. This path led me to explore the inner workings of my mind, heart, and values. I found myself pondering profound questions like, “What truly ignites my passion?” “What are the core values and beliefs that define me?” and “Which activities fill me with boundless energy and fulfillment?” Through this introspective journey, I gradually unveiled the essence of who I am.

Authenticity has been my guiding light throughout this transformative journey. It’s about wholeheartedly embracing and expressing my true self, unburdened by societal expectations or the need to conform to others’ standards. Embracing my authentic self involved recognizing and accepting my strengths, weaknesses, quirks, and unique qualities without judgment. As I continued to nurture my authenticity, I created fertile ground for the discovery of my life’s purpose.

One of the pivotal outcomes of this authenticity-driven exploration has been the alignment of my life with my core values. These values serve as the unwavering guiding principles that shape my choices and actions. As I embraced my authentic self, my understanding of these values became crystal clear. This alignment allowed me to lead a life that is not only more purposeful but also deeply meaningful.

From this place of authenticity and alignment, my passions and calling began to emerge organically. Engaging in activities and pursuits that resonated with my authentic self and aligned with my values set me on a path of profound purpose and fulfillment. These are the activities that make me lose track of time, fuel my enthusiasm, and reassure me that I am on the right course toward fulfilling my life’s purpose.

My authentic self has uniquely positioned me to make a positive impact on the world. Through this journey, I’ve discovered how I can contribute to the greater good. My purpose may involve helping others, creating art that carries deep meaning, tackling important societal challenges, or inspiring positive change within my community or industry.

It’s crucial to acknowledge that the journey to authenticity and discovering my life purpose is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. As I continue to grow and evolve, my understanding of myself and my purpose evolves with me. I embrace this growth wholeheartedly and remain open to fresh insights and opportunities that come my way. The journey toward authenticity has been a transformative and empowering catalyst for living a life that is truly purpose-driven.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
In a world that often prioritizes external success, I’ve dedicated my life to a deeper pursuit – helping individuals uncover their true selves and live lives imbued with purpose and fulfillment. My journey as an executive wellness coach is grounded in a profound belief in holistic well-being. I’ve always seen life as a delicate interplay of body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Through my own experiences and extensive training, I discovered that true fulfillment arises when these elements are in harmony.

Early in my career, I found myself drawn to the world of creativity, entrepreneurship, and professional development. Here, I encountered the remarkable stories of individuals striving to turn their passions into reality, whether that meant creating a masterpiece, launching a groundbreaking venture, or finding deeper meaning in their careers. It became evident to me that unlocking one’s creative potential and aligning it with purpose is a journey worth embarking upon.

As a coach, my purpose became clear—to empower transformation. I’ve had the privilege of working with countless individuals, each with their unique dreams and aspirations. Together, we’ve unraveled the mysteries of their true selves, unveiling the passions and purposes that had been hidden beneath the surface. It’s a profound joy to witness the moment when a client realizes the immense potential within and begins to chart a course toward an authentic life.

My clients’ stories have taught me that there’s a world of possibilities waiting for those who dare to be authentic. Together, we’ve explored new horizons, built unwavering confidence, weathered storms with resilience, and created a delicate balance between work, creativity, and self-care.

Every day, I’m inspired by the transformations I witness and the extraordinary lives my clients go on to lead. If you’re ready to embark on your journey to authenticity, purpose, and fulfillment, I invite you to join me. Let’s connect and explore the untapped potential within you, together crafting a life story that’s uniquely yours. The path to authenticity is a magnificent journey, and I’m here to be your guide and champion as you embark on it.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Self-awareness is the key to unlocking the door to authenticity. When you understand your values, passions, strengths, and areas for growth, you gain clarity about who you are at your core. This self-knowledge forms the foundation upon which you can build a life that aligns with your true self. It enables you to make choices and decisions that resonate with your innermost desires, values, and aspirations. In essence, self-awareness is the compass that guides you toward living a life that feels genuine and true to yourself.
Empathy plays a pivotal role in fostering deep and meaningful relationships, which are essential for a balanced and fulfilling life. When you can genuinely understand and connect with the feelings and perspectives of others, you create a supportive environment built on trust and compassion. These connections are like nourishment for the soul, providing a sense of belonging and purpose. Empathy also enhances your ability to collaborate effectively, resolve conflicts, and communicate with authenticity. It contributes to a rich tapestry of relationships that can bring joy, support, and a sense of shared purpose to your life.

Resilience is the bedrock of balance and fulfillment, allowing you to navigate life’s inevitable challenges and setbacks. It’s the capacity to bounce back from adversity with strength and determination. Resilience ensures that obstacles do not become insurmountable roadblocks but instead serve as stepping stones for personal growth and self-discovery. This inner strength enables you to maintain a positive outlook even in the face of adversity, keeping you focused on your goals and values. It’s like the unwavering anchor that helps you stay on course and pursue your passions and purpose with unwavering determination.

These qualities are the cornerstones of a life marked by authenticity, balance, passion, purpose, and fulfillment. By cultivating these qualities, you create a life that is not just successful but deeply meaningful, vibrant, and in harmony with your innermost desires and values. They empower you to lead a life that resonates with authenticity, balance, and purpose, ultimately fostering a sense of fulfillment that is both enduring and deeply satisfying.

What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?
One significant area of growth to nurture when striving to create a life that embodies authenticity, balance, and purpose, leading to enduring fulfillment, is mindfulness. Mindfulness, for me, is the practice of being fully present in the moment, attentively observing my thoughts, emotions, and the world around me without judgment. It’s a crucial element in crafting a deeply meaningful and fulfilling life.

Through mindfulness, I’ve forged a profound connection with my inner self. This practice provides me with a sanctuary for self-reflection and self-discovery. It illuminates my values, desires, and true purpose, illuminating my inner landscape. This clarity empowers me to discern what genuinely matters.

Mindfulness has fundamentally transformed my approach to discernment and decision-making. It’s as if it has fine-tuned my heart, my decision compass. I’ve become more sensitive to how my choices align with my values and long-term goals. This mindful decision-making process leads me towards a life in harmonious resonance with my innermost desires, fostering a profound sense of authenticity and purpose.

Within mindfulness, I’ve discovered powerful tools for stress management, such as meditation and deep breathing. By navigating stress with these practices, I’ve cultivated a tranquil mental and emotional space. This newfound serenity enables me to focus more effectively on what truly holds significance and helps me maintain a sense of equilibrium in my life.

Mindfulness has enriched my capacity for empathy and compassion, paving the way for deeper and more meaningful connections with others. It fosters active listening and genuine understanding in my relationships, nurturing bonds that are instrumental in crafting a fulfilling life.

Being attuned to the present moment through mindfulness has heightened my ability to fully appreciate life’s beauty and richness. It’s like a lens that brings into sharp focus the small, everyday experiences that often go unnoticed. This mindfulness-induced gratitude is a potent source of fulfillment, refocusing my attention towards life’s positives.

Moreover, mindfulness has fortified my resilience, equipping me with the tools to navigate change and rebound from setbacks with grace and determination. It encourages an approach to challenges characterized by curiosity and acceptance, preserving my sense of purpose even in the face of adversity.

By nurturing mindfulness, I’ve consciously crafted a life that prizes not only material success but also overall well-being, mental and emotional health, and a profound sense of fulfillment. It aligns my actions with my values, allowing me to lead a more balanced and purposeful life.
