361 - Amanda Goetz, Toxic Grit: Building Sustainable Ambition That Honors Every Season

“I was like, oh, we need to be able to be the ones to give ourselves permission so that we can keep showing up. And that's the intentional imbalance and hierarchy that I talk about in this. And that is so important for women to understand.” What if the hustle you’re chasing is actually holding you back from loving the life you already have? In this episode of The Entreprenistas Podcast, we sit down with Amanda Goetz — serial entrepreneur, marketing expert, and author of the upcoming book Toxic Grip. Amanda opens up about her journey from leading teams at the height of her career, through struggle and burnout, to redefining ambition with intention and joy. She shares her signature framework, “Character Theory,” a practical approach to embracing the many roles we play — CEO, mom, partner, friend — without the guilt of trying to be everything all at once.What we talked about: What’s Inside the Book?
