What if the version of ambition you've been chasing is actually holding you back? In this episode, Amanda Goetz breaks down the difference between toxic grit and intentional ambition—revealing that hustle should be a season, not your identity, and that real ambition means knowing why you're pushing. She walks through the self-worth iceberg: the invisible layers of societal pressure, generational patterns, and personal trauma that trigger disproportionate reactions, showing you how to get curious about what's actually driving your behavior.

Amanda Goetz is a 2x founder, 4x chief marketing officer, and was a single mom to three small children before finding love again. She spent two decades building and growing consumer-facing brands before shifting to writing, teaching, and coaching ambitious working parents on how to balance success and life. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Illinois and, after hustling the streets of New York City for over a decade, is now testing out every sunscreen in the world on her children in Miami.

After six years, I visited my dad in China—and healed emotional wounds I’ve carried my entire life. This is the most personal story I’ve ever shared: a journey of healing my father wound, breaking through years of emotional distance and lack of communication, and finding peace, clarity, and inner power through authenticity.

In this video, I share my family backstory on growing up with a distant father, the silent struggles I held for decades, and the life-changing experience of finally expressing my truth. If you’re navigating family wounds, generational healing, or your own path to self worth, I hope this story brings you reflection, healing, and hope. Sending you so much love 💓
