The agency world was never meant to be a one-character show. In a culture that glorifies doing it all at once — CEO, visionary, mom, partner, friend, athlete — we’re often left feeling like we’re failing at all of it. But what if the key to thriving wasn’t about finding “perfect balance”… but about owning intentional imbalance?This week, we sit down with Amanda Goetz, 2x founder, 4x CMO, mom of three, newsletter creator to over 150,000 readers, and author of the book Toxic Grit: How To Have It All And (Actually) Love What You Have. Amanda unpacks what it really looks like to live and work at full capacity without losing yourself along the way.If you’ve ever wondered…• Why do I always feel like I’m doing everything at once?• How can I stop reacting to everything immediately?• How can I show up fully in each season of my agency’s growth?…this one’s for you.This episode is brought to you by:Metricool | Get 30 days free on any Premium plan with code DARLINGS at https://metricool.com/darlings Chapters:(00:00:00) Focus and Finish: Master One Thing Before the Next(00:09:27) Delegation Without Guilt: Building the Support You Deserve(00:23:58) Character Theory: Choosing Who Leads Your Life(00:36:55) The Urgency Trap, the Parking Lot, and Two Post-Its(00:49:59) You’re the Director — No One’s Giving You PermissionConnect with Amanda:• Order Toxic Grit: https://www.toxicgrit.com • Girlboss Podcast (soon to be Ambition 2.0): https://girlboss.com • Website: https://amandagoetz.com• Instagram: https://instagram.com/theamandagoetz• LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/amandagoetzWant To Dive Deeper On These Topics?• Apply to join our exclusive Agency Darlings Slack Community: agencydarlings.com/community • Join our agency advice column: agencydarlings.myflodesk.com/signupConnect with Melissa & Meredith:• Waverly Ave: waverlyave.com• Instagram: instagram.com/waverlyave.co • Le Chéile: lecheile.co/contact • Instagram: instagram.com/lecheile.co
