For all the women who were told they could have it all, but now that they''re actually shouldering it ALL, are wondering what they truly wish to hold onto... Toxic Grit is here to help you unlock your true desires and balance your ambitions with your passions, and even some moments of rest! We are told by society that we have a role to play...but as women, we often have MANY roles and when we try to fulfill each, we burn out. It turns out, there are some tangles to being a Girl Boss and a Pinterest Mom having a Lazy-Girl yet socially packed Hot-Girl Summer! So how can we live our life according to ALL of our goals...without exhausting ourselves? And more importantly, while feeling authentic to who we are and want to be? Amanda Goetz has the answer and it lies in the balance between all the characters we play, and even leaning into the inherent imbalances at times! According to her proven methodologies, there are 10 typical character archetypes and by exploring each and assigning times for each to ''drive'' our lives, we can find more balance within ourselves. Our inner Socialite, Caregiver, CEO, and Lazy Girl may normally live in conflict but by talking to each aspect of ourselves, affirming what each needs, and building a balance for all... we can finally actually have ''it all'' on our terms and by discerning what ALL really means.

It's time to rewrite the rules of ambition.
"A game-changer." -Whitney Port, TV Personality and host of With Whit Podcast
"Amanda offers a new way for modern women to rewrite what success means uniquely to them." -Neha Ruch, USA Today Bestselling Author of The Power Pause
"A must-read for anyone ready to stop surviving life and start enjoying it." -Eve Rodsky, NYTimes Best-Selling Author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space
Burnout is an epidemic caused by a society that praises toxic grit. Women have been taught to chase goals and to hold everything together while quietly falling apart. Somewhere in the middle of the meetings and the milestones, we lost something: ourselves.
For years we've been told the answer to burnout is better balance. But what if balance is the wrong goal? Modern ambition is broken.....and women are the ones breaking under it.
Toxic Grit is the rally cry and roadmap for those who are done surviving success and ready for a new way to live, work and (actually) enjoy our lives.
In this bold, paradigm-shifting debut, Amanda Goetz, a 2x CEO, 4x CMO and single mom of three, reframes what it means to be an ambitious woman in a culture that demands we do it all to have it all. She knows what it takes to walk the tightrope of success and sanity. Through radical vulnerability, heartfelt storytelling, science backed frameworks and real-world tools, she will help you build systems for a life that honors your ambition and your joy.
In this book you'll learn:

• How to identify and create space for all the roles you play and stop feeling like you're failing at all of them
• How to reclaim presence in your day
• Why balance is a myth but intentional balance is the key to thriving
• How to unlearn hustle culture and create a version of success that fuels you
• The secret to setting boundaries that protect your energy without guilt
• A new approach to productivity that prioritizes what actually matters in that moment

• How to reconnect with pleasure, joy and the parts of yourself that ambition pushed aside

  Whether you're leading teams, raising kids, or rebuilding your life, Toxic Grit offers more than advice - it offers real world tools and systems to create a life that honors all parts of you.
  The book is an invitation to discover a new approach to ambition.
