Modern ambition is broken…..and we are the ones breaking under it. In response to the toxic mindset of having it all, this bold, perspective-shifting debut reframes what it means to be ambitious in a culture that demands we do it all to have it all. Through radical vulnerability, heartfelt storytelling, science backed frameworks and real-world tools, Amanda Goetz, a former CEO and single mom of three, 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.

Welcome to a new approach to ambition.
