Can you build a successful business, lead with heart and ditch the burnout badge of honor? Charlie Saffro says yes, and she's got the stories to prove it.

In this special episode, recorded live in the Conscious Habit community, Amy reconnects with Charlie Saffro—founder of CS Recruiting and unapologetic champion of conscious leadership—for a candid, no-fluff convo about leading with purpose in a world obsessed with hustle. Charlie pulls back the curtain on what it really means to ditch performative grind culture and embrace human-first leadership.

They get real about what happens when companies skip the small stuff (like remembering work anniversaries), why your team deserves more than a plaque, and how Charlie turned a moment of personal leadership failure into company-wide policy change.

This episode is full of mic-drop moments, practical takeaways, and a refreshing reminder that leadership gets better when you stop trying to be everything to everyone—and just get real. 🎧✨
