Join us for a candid conversation with Amanda Goetz — entrepreneur, former CMO, single mom, and author — as she unpacks the core ideas behind Toxic Grit. Amanda explores why “having it all” often leads to burnout and offers a new lens on ambition that honors all the roles we juggle. This talk invites you to release the grind, redefine success, and build a life rooted in intention, presence, and joy.
Join us for a powerful and honest conversation with Amanda Goetz — serial entrepreneur, former CMO, single mom, and now author — as she walks us through the ideas, struggles, and radical reframing behind her new book. In this event, Amanda unpacks why so many of us chase “having it all” only to feel burnt out or disconnected from ourselves. She introduces a new lens on ambition: one that embraces the many roles we juggle — the CEO, the caregiver, the friend, the partner — and builds a life rooted not in hustle or perfection, but in intention, presence, and joy. If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting success and rest, achievement and softness, this talk invites you to reject the old “grind” narrative and claim a different kind of thriving.
