You’ve built the life everyone wants.
Good income, respected position, all the markers of “making it.”
Yet, late at night, you find yourself wondering: “Is this really it?”
You calculate your ‘F you money’ obsessively but never feel brave enough to use it.
Recently, you realized you’ve been having this same conversation with yourself for three years now
… and you’re still no closer to living as the person you know you’re meant to be.
In the dark, you find yourself googling ‘how do I leave my agency job’ at 2 AM, then closing the laptop in panic.
Whether you’re facing an empty nest, a career plateau, or just the growing realization that ‘successful’ doesn’t always mean ‘fulfilled’ … what you really want is to stop living someone else’s version of success.
… to break the golden handcuffs and start building a life for who you’re becoming, not who you used to be.
You’re ready for a life where Monday mornings feel like possibility, not a prison.
It seems like you’ve tried all the things!
Like vision boards, self-help books, and weekend workshops that inspire you… until Monday morning hits and you’re back to living on autopilot.
The Real Problem
Unfortunately, generic advice assumes you can just “follow your passion” without considering your mortgage, family responsibilities, or the professional reputation you’ve spent years building.
Plus, you’re exhausted from trying to keep up with the Joneses when deep down, you don’t even want what they have.
In fact, the real problem is that every day you postpone designing your authentic life is another day you’re not fully alive.
The truth is, you’re not broken or ungrateful – you’re simply ready for the next chapter, but you need practical steps and a clear roadmap, not just good intentions.

You’re tired of the rat race, but you’re not sure how to get off the hamster wheel without losing everything you’ve worked for.
This isn’t about choosing between success and fulfillment.
It’s about designing a life where both can coexist.
What’s Possible When You Design Your Life Intentionally
Imagine waking up Monday morning excited because your calendar reflects your priorities, not everyone else’s expectations.
This isn’t because you’ve abandoned responsibility.
Instead, it’s because you’ve designed a life that integrates your values with your success – where Tuesday feels like freedom, not another obligation, and you can say no to evening networking events because you’ve built boundaries that actually stick.
Picture Your Designed Life:
- Negotiate to work from Portugal three months a year while maintaining your six-figure income.
- Have conversations with your spouse about dreams without them fearing you want to blow up your life.
- Restructure your entire practice around your family values while maintaining profitability.
- Design your life and business to fit in a van, bus, or box truck, so you can have freedom without losing income
- Create your post-retirement plan so you can get out of golden handcuffs sooner and responsibly.
- Plan for your pending empty nest so you maintain momentum toward personal goals without falling into despair.
Why This Approach Works for Professionals
As a Counselor who designed my own unconventional lifestyle, I understand the unique challenges of transitioning from traditional success to authentic living.
… and doing it while maintaining a caseload of clients.
I’ve helped dozens of professionals navigate this transition.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic life coaches, I combine:
- Clinical training in behavior change
- Personal experience designing an unconventional life
- And specific frameworks for high-achievers who can’t afford to just “wing it.”
This isn’t about abandoning your achievements – it’s about leveraging them to create the life you actually want.
My Unique Background
I’m Andrea Shipley, a counselor with a design background who’s gone from traditional agency work to a location-independent lifestyle, while serving my clients at a high level.
I’ve made many expensive mistakes you’re afraid of making – left money on the table, scrambled after leaping without a plan, run from relationships I should have stayed in and stayed in situations I should have left.
The push and pull between certainty and uncertainty nearly broke me multiple times, but it also taught me to navigate change with wisdom instead of panic.
Now I help you navigate that same territory with a clear map and the right tools – so when you do take risks, they’re calculated ones that serve your growth rather than impulsive ones that cost you everything.
As your lifestyle design coach, I’ll guide you through both the tactical implementation and mindset shifts essential for redesigning your life.
From there, you’ll awaken your imagination and deepest values before taking practical action toward your north star.

Testimonials for Lifestyle Design Mastery
“A designed lifestyle is a big topic that many may think is out of their reach.
Well, it isn’t. Andrea helps to break down your lifestyle’s big picture into snippets that can be handled and explored.
Each week builds upon the next. Her program zeros in on your specific plan and works with your goals, values, capabilities and life.
As much as I thought this program would tighten up where I was already headed, it completely blew that lame plan out of the water and opened up the universe to me.
My soul and heart so appreciates this safe and organized push out of my comfort zone into the life of my dreams. Thank you.”
-Jada
“It’s about time we all start to line up with our North Star and put intention into our lives and lifestyles.
This course really helps one be the captain of their ship, to work with the elements of the universe and start to steer oneself towards their dreams and desires for a quality of life that fits them instead of hoping someone else will do it for us.
I grew a lot in this program, it challenged me to have integrity and follow my inner guidance, while becoming aware of the ways I sometimes block myself from a lifestyle and life that would be better suited for me.
I highly recommend this program to those wanting to make a change in how they live.
Andrea’s tools and resources are fantastic and you will be more prepared to make your life the way you want it, once you have gone through her program!”
