What does it look like to pursue big ambitions, juggle multiple roles, and build a life you actually love—without burning out? In this episode, Her Workplace Founder & CEO Marilynn Joyner sits down with Amanda Goetz: 2x founder, 4x CMO, mom of three, and the creator behind the fast-growing newsletter Life’s a Game, reaching over 80,000 readers each week. Amanda is also the author of Toxic Grit, which explores how to redefine ambition, release guilt, and create space for every role we play. From leading brand marketing at The Knot, to founding and selling House of Wise, to building a powerful digital community of more than 150,000 people—Amanda has spent the last two decades building, scaling, reinventing, and navigating life’s most intense seasons with honesty and intentionality. In this conversation, Amanda shares the real story behind ambition, burnout, resilience, and the myth of “balance”—and offers practical tools for building a life, career, and identity that feels aligned, sustainable, and deeply your own.
