Amanda Goetz is a two-time founder, four-time CMO, and single mom of three who’s helping ambitious people redefine what “having it all” actually looks like. She inspires over 150,000 readers each week through her Life’s a Game newsletter and her new book, Toxic Grit: How to Have It All and Actually Love What You Have. In this conversation, Amanda shares a grounded, intentional approach to ambition—one that makes space for work, relationships, and personal growth without burning out.

On this episode we talk about:

  • Why Amanda believes ambition isn’t toxic—it’s lack of intention that is

  • How to embrace “and” thinking instead of living life as an “either/or” equation

  • The hidden cost of letting one identity (career, parent, partner) take over your life

  • How to transition between roles, build hierarchy, and avoid constant guilt

  • The five pillars of Amanda’s “portfolio career” and how to start building one yourself

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. The solution to overwork or burnout isn’t quitting ambition—it’s learning to balance all your “characters” with awareness and structure.

  2. A thriving career doesn’t have to compete with family, purpose, or rest—it can coexist when you embrace the and.

  3. Genuine success comes from self-awareness and human connection—two things that automation and hustle culture can’t replace.

Notable Quotes

  • “Life isn’t an or statement—it’s an and. You can chase goals and still build a life you love.”

  • “Toxic grit happens when one character takes over the whole storyline of your life.”

  • “You can’t automate your way out of human connection.”
