What happens when you achieve the goal you worked toward for 15 years… and it doesn’t feel the way you expected?

Charlie Saffro, the founder of CS Recruiting, shares her unconventional journey from bootstrapping a recruiting firm with Craigslist ads and coffee shop connections to selling her company and stepping into a brand-new chapter of leadership and identity. In this honest conversation, Charlie opens up about redefining success, releasing self-worth from outcomes, and learning to trust what truly fills her up, which is connection, intuition, and the quiet wins we often overlook.

In this episode, we explore:

- Why other people’s reactions can cloud even your biggest milestones
-How to separate your identity from your business without losing yourself
- The power of small rituals, human connection, and redefining “productivity”

If you’re navigating change, questioning your definition of success, or craving more alignment in how you work and live, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
