Summary

This week on The Lo Life, Lo is joined by Amanda Goetz, entrepreneur, mother of three, and bestselling author of Toxic Grit, for a raw conversation about burnout, reinvention, and what happens when the life you built stops fitting who you’re becoming. Amanda has rebuilt her world more than once, and she brings a brutally honest, deeply relatable perspective to what real change looks like.

Together, Lo and Amanda unpack the hidden signs that something in your life has run its course, the pressure to keep it all together, and the emotional thresholds we ignore until they force us to pay attention. Amanda shares the mindset shift behind her 10x10x10 rule and the clarity it brings when everything feels overwhelming — from identity shifts to relationships to ambition.

If you’re feeling stuck, stretched thin, or ready for your next chapter, this conversation will give you the lens, language, and permission you didn’t know you needed.
