Burnout, breakdowns and breakthroughs with Alexis Guttridge

Alexis Guttridge built her first business from scratch: an acclaimed, high-end U.S. restaurant recognised by GQ Magazine and International Food & Wine.

It was the kind of place people talked about, and the kind of business that demanded everything from the woman running it.

By her thirties, the success looked incredible from the outside. Inside, Alexis was burnt out in a way she couldn’t outwork, outperform, or numb anymore.

Alcohol wasn’t fixing it. Sex wasn’t fixing it. Hustle definitely wasn’t fixing it. She needed a different way to live, so she made the hardest call a founder can make. She sold the business that built her… so she could rebuild herself.

After moving to Australia and starting again, Alexis created a business that matched her values instead of consuming them.

Today, she helps female founders grow into their next chapter with the clarity, strategy, and confidence to build businesses they can rely on, without losing themselves in the process. Her work blends grounded business skill with the emotional honesty women rarely get permission to lead with.

She’s direct. She’s lived the consequences of ignoring her own needs. And she’s known for helping her clients charge properly, create layered revenue, and build businesses that feel like theirs, not something they’ve been told to squeeze into. If you're ready for the chapter, you keep saying you'll start “one day,” Alexis is the mentor who helps you actually step into it. Let’s do the damn thing.
