GROWTH and change were at the forefront of Phillip Island local Alexis Guttridge’s mind when she began rewriting her life story in her 40’s, and on Sunday, July 23 Alexis held the first ‘The Intentional Living Workshop’ for Bass Coast covering timing, money, health, and personal growth. 

Alexis shared how she went from owning a multi-million-dollar company stateside in her 20’s, to burnout and addiction in her 30’s, to now seeing her new business thriving for the past five years. 

The inaugural workshop welcomed over 20 women within Bass Coast to take the time to reflect on what’s truly important to them in their everyday lives and give them the confidence to ultimately create their own path. 

Alexis shared that ‘the workshop was truly amazing; it was probably one of the most epic group of women I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.’

The safe space allowed women of all ages to come together, with many realising they share similarities, maybe some lack confidence and others present their own struggles, but coming together made them feel less alone. 

Alexis allowed the women the time to truly reflect on how they spend their time, for them to be honest with their own feelings through a series of fun activities. 

“I encouraged the women to dive in and write down what’s important, they were asked to be open and honest with themselves in reflecting on how often they give time to what’s important and to own it, to create change.” 

Discovering her strength in helping companies create a ‘MNDFL’ working environment and witnessing employees live a happier life while still thriving, Alexis confirmed ‘it all starts by simply taking a pause.’ 

Alexis works with businesses and individuals and in ‘The Intentional Workshop’ the women were asked to rate their way of thinking; this exercise allowed the women to look at the areas of life that they need to focus on – from decision making to self-belief. 

Alexis then provided the women with a guided meditation and the right tools to maintain a new intentional way of living. 

Alexis realised that she had a gift to help others prevent the burnout she experienced. With her teachings, her clients are gaining a new level of confidence, increased focus, decrease stress levels, and profound changes in the life they want to live.

Discovering her strength in helping women get unstuck and re-discovering their confidence to live their best lives. For more information on courses or coaching programs visit alexisguttridge.com or via social media @pausewithalexis.
