At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. In this episode, Dana sits down with Amanda Goetz, a two-time founder, four-time CMO, and single mom of three, to discuss the lessons from her journey of burnout to balance.

From learning to compartmentalize her roles as a mom, entrepreneur, and partner, to realizing the importance of focusing on what you want, Amanda's insights are a game-changer. She opens up about how embracing complexity and letting go of the pressure to be perfect can lead to a more fulfilling and intentional life. Tune in to hear how Amanda's journey can help you redefine success and create a life where you don't just survive, but actually love what you have.
