Jim also shares moving personal stories, including the profound leadership advice he received at just 22 years old—wisdom he still follows daily.

In this heartfelt solo episode of Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie opens up about a lesson many of us learn the hard way: the power of boundaries.
Through her own stories of overcommitting, overgiving, and burning out in the name of being “nice,” she reveals the quiet cost of constantly putting others first—and how easy it is to lose yourself in the process.

With warmth, vulnerability, and hard-earned wisdom, Carrie flips the script on the idea that setting boundaries is selfish. Instead, she shows how honoring your limits is one of the most generous, loving things you can do—for yourself and everyone around you.

You’ll walk away with mindset shifts and simple tools to help you:

• Protect your energy without guilt
• Say “no” with confidence and grace
• Create space for what actually matters

This episode is your invitation to stop shrinking, start speaking up, and build a life that supports your peace. Because boundaries aren’t walls—they’re the foundation of true freedom.

In this eye-opening episode of Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie dives deep into a topic we all face but rarely name out loud: judgment.

 Whether it’s aimed at others or turned inward on ourselves, judgment can sneak in fast—shaping how we see the world and how we show up in it. With raw honesty and heartfelt wisdom, Carrie explores how those snap opinions often reflect more about us than anyone else.

Through personal reflection and powerful perspective shifts, she invites you to get curious about your thought patterns, not critical. What if instead of defaulting to judgment, we paused long enough to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface?

This episode is a reminder that compassion and curiosity are always available to us—and that when we choose them, we free up energy for growth, connection, and peace. Because leading with love starts in our own minds.

In this soul-stirring episode of Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie gets honest about something so many of us silently carry: the weight of overwhelm.
She pulls back the curtain on her own recent struggle—where sleepless nights, jaw-clenching tension, and simmering resentment became quiet signals that something deeper was off. If you’ve ever found yourself snapping over small things or feeling paralyzed by your to-do list, this one’s for you.

Carrie unpacks the subtle signs of emotional overload and how it sneaks into our lives disguised as “just being busy.” Through raw storytelling and hard-earned insight, she shares what helped her step out of survival mode and into intention, including:

• Recognizing physical stress cues before they explode
• Creating boundaries without guilt
• Making peace with saying “no”
• Asking for help—without shame
• Writing task-specific lists that actually work

This episode is your permission slip to pause, breathe, and start choosing yourself again. Because you don’t have to carry it all. And you were never meant to.

Carrie shines a light on the silent killers of connection: small resentments.
 What seems like “no big deal” can slowly erode your peace, your relationships, and even your health. Carrie compares these unchecked frustrations to ignored physical symptoms—what starts as a twinge can turn into something far more serious if left unaddressed. And one of the most dangerous mindsets we can adopt? “Maybe it’ll just go away.”

Carrie invites you to lean into the discomfort and do the work—starting with honest, calm, and compassionate conversations. She shares practical, heart-centered strategies for speaking up before emotions boil over, including:

• Why timing and tone matter more than you think
• How to name the real issue (not just the surface tension)
• The power of appreciation when addressing conflict

Unspoken resentment doesn’t just live in your mind—it lingers in your body and spirit. That’s why Carrie closes the episode with a bold challenge:
 Ask yourself, “What am I still holding on to?”—and commit to addressing it within seven days.

Because healing starts the moment you stop pretending you're fine.
