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. Follow her on Instagram

Tara Ladd founded Your One & Only because she was fed up with brands that looked pretty but felt completely empty. Using behavioural psychology and a knack for spotting what everyone else completely misses, she creates brands that don’t just stand out, they actually stand for something real. With over 18 years in the industry, including 8 running her own studio and a decade working with massive brands like Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Telstra, Tara knows her way around strategy. But her real passion? Wellness work that actually matters. We’re talking mental health advocacy, neurodivergence support, chronic illness navigation, reproductive health conversations, disability access, and healthcare system reform. Based in South Western Sydney, she’s a big-thinking creative who isn’t afraid of the messy stuff. Her studio specialises in brands that tackle the topics other people whisper about; the ones calling out medical bias, making space for bodies and minds that don’t fit the “wellness industry” mould, fighting for better systems instead of just prettier packaging. As a neurodivergent entrepreneur with ADHD, Tara gets it. Thinking differently isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a superpower. She’s also a mum of 2 neurodivergent kids (one’s a transplant recipient), which means she’s seen firsthand how broken some of our systems really are. She’s not here to create another ‘safe’ brand that says nothing. She’s here to help you build something that makes people stop, think, and feel like they finally found their people. In this episode, we talk about brand psychology and the power of positioning. Be sure to review and subscribe if you love it!
