My Journey

As a faith-driven entrepreneur, I've walked the path you're on, balancing demanding roles while nurturing multiple dreams into reality. From launching WOE Magazine, a digital platform empowering women, to managing several other thriving online businesses, I've navigated the whirlwind of professional obligations and personal commitments. This journey taught me not just the importance of ambition, but also the critical need to maintain balance and well-being alongside business success.

Despite my determination, the road was fraught with challenges. It seemed like a conspiracy of circumstances—misunderstandings, false beliefs about success, and traditional methods of 'just working harder'—were all aligned against me. I found myself exhausted, trying to be everything to everyone: a dedicated professional, a loving partner, a caring parent, and an ambitious entrepreneur. The traditional grind, demanding more without considering personal limits, was simply not sustainable.

Then came my transformative ah-ha moment. I realized that success doesn't come from depleting oneself; it comes from strategic alignment and balance. This insight shifted my approach dramatically. I deepened my partnership with God and embraced a philosophy of thriving, not just surviving. By integrating my faith more deeply into my daily business activities and adopting smarter technologies like AI and automation, I transformed how my businesses operated.

This shift wasn't merely about efficiency—it was about creating a sustainable model that allowed me to be present and fulfilled in all areas of my life, reducing stress and enhancing productivity. Now, my businesses not only succeed—they flourish, reflecting my values and supporting a balanced, healthful lifestyle.

I am now dedicated to helping others achieve this same level of success and balance. Through the Thrive CEO Digital Innovator Program, I offer you everything I've learned about building and running thriving businesses that honor your personal values and aspirations.

Join me, and let’s transform the way you approach entrepreneurship—from endless hustling to creating a thriving enterprise that enriches every part of your life.

Meet Ayo.

I am Ayo Thomas, innovative pioneer and champion for the empowerment of women in the entrepreneurial sphere. As the architect of Thrive CEO Woman, I have poured my own experiences into a vision that uplifts and supports faith-driven women entrepreneurs. With empathy carved from my roles as a mother, wife, and friend, I've recognized the profound toll that chasing dreams and ambitions can exert. In response, I founded Thrive CEO Woman to ensure that women can foster success without depletion, thriving abundantly in every facet of their existence.

My credibility stems from the inception of Women Own Excellence (WOE) Magazine, a venture that not only showcased my prowess in the digital domain but also solidified my role as a mentor for women seeking to weave their professional tapestry with threads of well-being and faith.

With over 15 years of diverse HR experience and business insight. My journey has led me to harness this expertise in coaching, empowering women to reach new heights in their careers and entrepreneurial endeavors. My commitment to fostering talent and leadership is deeply rooted in my academic pursuits, evidenced by my advanced HR certifications and a notable graduation from Cornell University's Women's Entrepreneurship and Diversity and Inclusion Program. These achievements underscore my dedication to promoting an ethos of inclusive excellence.

I am also the proud owner of Galore Creative Staffing, a firm that boasts esteemed clientele such as Microsoft and the City of Charlotte, further testament to my professional success and reputation.

Away from my professional life, I find joy and balance in spending quality time with my family, embracing the essence of health and wellness.
