It will help you create a new approach to ambition and find space for all the diverse parts of yourself. Join 75K+ others who read my newsletter 🧩 Life's a Game at amandagoetz.com. It’s full of free tips to play the game of life at a whole new level. In 2018 I found myself at the height of my marketing career with 3 kids under the age of 4 and filing for divorce. In a world telling me to find alignment......I realized that was impossible. The work version of me didn't want to leave early to go be with the kiddos. The mom version of me didn't want to miss a moment with them. I wanted to be fiercely independent and yet also wanted to find love again. Other versions of me didn't want to feel responsible for anything or anyone. This diversity within me led to the creation of my Character Theory Framework. This framework helped me to create space for the 10 characters that make up the movie of your life:  The CEO → wants to pursue big goalsThe Partner → desires companionship  The Soloist → cares about personal growth and development The Caregiver → deep desire to take care of others and show up for themThe Goddess → wants to be desired and pursue pleasure  The Lazy One → loves to couch rot, no goals whatsoever The Socialite → values connection The Creative → desires creation and creativity The Doctor → your inner health &amp; wellness character The Explorer → craves novelty And it helped me. I was able to let go of the idea of balance and give permission for hierarchy, boundaries and the transition sequences necessary to embody these diverse characters. So I put it all in a book and it was an instant best seller!! I'm so excited for you to create space for all parts of you and to see ambition as multi-dimensional. Follow me here for advice as I build a multi-hyphenate life as a CMO, Author, Mom of 3 and getting married again.

I write... I think... I feel. Trying to cope with life with humour. And I’m still trying to understand myself.

I quit my job in tech because I couldn’t find any joy in it anymore.

I felt like I was just doing what society told me to do... being “good” according to their rules.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t keep pretending to live while feeling half-alive.

So I went back to my first passion... my first love: writing.

Now, I’m building my life around writing and humor.

I write to feel. I write to understand myself and make sense of the world.

And honestly? I feel lighter every time I let it out.

If you like my style, and you think we could create something great together... send me a DM. 

I’d love to connect.

Can we just be kinder to each other?
Can we stop fueling hate?

I’m not preaching. I don’t know much about this world... or even about my own life.

But I do know that more hate... degrading human lives, attacking or ridiculing each other is not the answer. It never will be.

On a smaller scale, it could be just a comment. Or talking about someone behind their back. Or, you know… tearing people down on social media (hello, LinkedInLunatics).

On a bigger scale, it looks different. It looks like ideas fighting each other. You protect your beliefs by trying to destroy someone else’s.

You act superior. You claim you’re righteous. You’re the good... and they’re evil. Pure evil. Monsters.
Or maybe not even human…
(Am I a robot?)

I’m not saying abandon your values. They’re part of who you are.
I’m not saying don’t disagree with anyone... we have to. It’s how we evolve.

All I’m saying is: please, please, please remember we’re all human.
We all have feelings.
We’re all going through a lot.

Before we justify hurting and attacking each other.
