The agency world was never meant to be a one-character show. In a culture that glorifies doing it all at once — CEO, visionary, mom, partner, friend, athlete — we’re often left feeling like we’re failing at all of it. But what if the key to thriving wasn’t about finding “perfect balance”… but about owning intentional imbalance?
This week, we sit down with Amanda Goetz, 2x founder, 4x CMO, mom of three, newsletter creator to over 150,000 readers, and author of the book Toxic Grit: How To Have It All And (Actually) Love What You Have. Amanda unpacks what it really looks like to live and work at full capacity without losing yourself along the way.
If you’ve ever wondered…
• Why do I always feel like I’m doing everything at once?
• How can I stop reacting to everything immediately?
• How can I show up fully in each season of my agency’s growth?
…this one’s for you.
