From Burnout to Business Success: A Conversation with Amy Stauffer

Feeling stuck in the hustle, constantly working but not seeing the results you want? In this episode, I sit down with Amy Stauffer, a dance studio owner, consumer reporting expert, and fellow podcaster, to talk about the shift from burnout to balance.

Amy shares her journey from corporate recruiting to running a successful dance studio, balancing multiple income streams, and launching a podcast. She opens up about the moment she quit her corporate job from a hospital bed, how she built a thriving business while pregnant, and why embracing flow changed everything for her.

Key Moments:
[00:01:43] – The unexpected flower delivery that started the conversation
[00:06:02] – Amy’s career journey from recruiting to dance studio ownership
[00:17:01] – The moment she resigned from her job while in the hospital
[00:25:00] – Opening a business while pregnant and navigating early challenges
[00:38:00] – Learning to embrace flow instead of forcing success
[00:41:10] – The downside of pushing too hard and how to step into alignment
[00:47:51] – Why Amy started her podcast, Clearly I Have Nothing to Say
[00:54:00] – Favorite cocktails, wine, and special memories with friends

Tune in for an insightful conversation about redefining success, making intentional shifts, and learning to work with flow instead of burnout.
