What if hustle culture is actually working against you?
In this episode, Stacy Ennis, book strategist, entrepreneur, and host of Beyond Better, shares why rest, health, and intentional living are essential for sustainable success. We talk about designing a business around life (not the other way around), avoiding burnout, and redefining productivity for the long term.
Stacy Ennis is a number-one bestselling, multi-award-winning author, nonfiction book coach, and speaker on a mission to help leaders use the power of writing to clarify their ideas, share their stories, and scale their impact.
Obsessed with writing since second grade, Stacy discovered early on that words are more than communication they’re tools for influence, clarity, and change. That belief has guided her for more than 15 years in business, during which she has contributed to 100+ books and impacted hundreds of thousands of readers worldwide.
Her background includes ghostwriting for a Nobel Prize–winning physician, serving as Executive Editor of Sam’s Club’s Healthy Living Made Simple, a publication reaching nearly 11 million readers, and training leaders from organizations such as Starbucks, Boeing, and Intuit. Stacy is the coauthor of Growing Influence, which landed on bestseller lists alongside titles by Brené Brown and Stephen Covey, and she is also a TEDx speaker.
Stacy holds a master’s degree in writing and editing and a bachelor’s degree in writing, and her work bridges strategic thinking with deep personal reflection—helping authors not just publish books, but articulate ideas that matter.
Today, Stacy lives in Portugal with her husband and two children, designing life on her own terms. A traveler at heart, reader, runner, and self-described inflexible yogi, she believes success isn’t about doing more—it’s about aligning your work with who you are.
At the core of everything Stacy does is a simple conviction:
when people learn to write with clarity and courage, they unlock their ability to lead, influence, and leave a lasting legacy.
