HEY! I'M
AJ Bishop-Andrews
For over 15 years, I've been igniting the spark in high-achieving women—transforming feelings of stagnation, frustration, and overwhelm into inspiration, confidence, and empowerment.
This page may offer glimpses of my story, but the real narrative we're focused on is yours—the brilliant, bold chapter you're about to write.
My mission? To illuminate the path for driven women like you. Women who are ready to break free from work-life challenges, who yearn to leave a lasting, meaningful legacy. I'm here to guide you towards not just time, creative and financial freedom, but a life fully ignited with purpose and fulfillment.
I ignite curiosity, sparking the questions that lead to breakthroughs.
As seen in:
Your whole life, you've been described as driven and goal-oriented. Some may even say you're high-strung. But I see it differently—you've been relentlessly pursuing goals and dreams that weren't truly your own.
I was a successful wealth management executive with the lucrative paycheck my Brazilian mother had dreamt of for me. From the outside, I had "made it."
But underneath, I was restless - faint whispers I was meant to blaze my own trail and redefine "success" through my own lens.
Behind the
Corporate Veil
It was the same soul-crushing routine daily - insane work hours followed by desperately numbing out through binge eating or drinking, anything to escape.
From the outside, sure, I appeared to have it all figured out. But inside, I felt constantly overwhelmed and unfulfilled. Like, had I really grinded that hard just to reach the top and find...emptiness?
Crying on the bathroom floor
I was ambitious - I had success and checked every damn box. But that spark, that thirst for truly living? Totally gone. I was just mindlessly going through motions, frustrated and disconnected from genuine passion or joy.
Those brutally low points revealed how hollow I'd become. My soul was hungry for more fulfillment than material comforts could provide. I knew, deep down, drastic change was urgently needed. This went way beyond typical burnout,
it was a breaking point I could
no longer deny.
QUEST
I remember the day I decided to leap into coach training with Susanne Conrad, the visionary behind Lightyear Leadership, amidst being a busy executive, juggling a hectic household, and facing pandemic uncertainties.
Aligning my work with my passion seemed like a far-off dream, reserved for those with more time or fewer responsibilities.
Despite doubts from past coaching experiences, Susanne's approach intrigued me. Her intuition, patience, joy, and authenticity stood out against corporate rigidity and pressure.
I knew I could add quality guidance in the wealth industry but wondered if I could help women navigate wealth challenges and align their work with their values.
My hesitation wasn't just about finding the perfect business model; it was about confronting fears of failure, feeling like an imposter, and admitting I needed support. It was a journey of self-discovery, rooted in the belief that it's never too late to pursue dreams.
for
CLARITY
My decision to seek guidance set me on a transformative journey that exceeded my wildest dreams.
I learned to accept support, trust my instincts, and master practices to silence my inner critic. I healed deep-seated insecurities and broke free from the need to prove my worth through external achievements.
Along the way, I rediscovered parts of myself that I had lost.
Amidst the nerves, excitement, and uncertainty, I navigated significant shifts in my life.
I shook off old notions of wealth and redefined success on my own terms. I rebuilt my financial plan and even embraced remarriage and stepmotherhood.
Each twist and turn on this journey has shaped me into a stronger, more resilient version of myself. I've unlocked an inner strength I never knew existed. This transformative journey has surpassed my wildest expectations.
Through a winding path of setbacks and successes, I ultimately discovered true, lasting happiness – first for myself, and then as a guide for other women seeking the same truth.
