Here’s what you’ll take away from today’s episode:

• Why time is not linear—and why it’s never too late to bloom.
• How to finally stop treating your body like the enemy.
• What it really means to develop confidence through boundaries, not approval.

Welcome back to Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee! I'm your host, CarrieVee — your biggest fan and fiercest cheerleader, especially when your self-belief is running on empty. This podcast is your weekly jolt of leadership, communication, confidence, clarity — and the real-life lessons in between.

In this episode, we're diving into the subtle (but powerful!) difference between persuasion and pressure. Because real influence isn’t about being louder, pushier, or more convincing. It’s about creating safety, trust, and alignment.

Here’s what we’re unpacking:

• Why true influence happens when people feel safe and not sold 💡
• How framing your ideas leads to more alignment than forcing them
• Why pressure triggers resistance (and how curiosity creates openness!)
• The brain science behind feeling cornered — and why it shuts down connection
• How your childhood chore chart might just be your leadership training ground 😅

You don’t have to push to persuade. You don’t have to corner to convince. Let’s shift from salesy to sincere, from pushy to powerful.

Tune in for a refreshing take on leadership and communication — and learn how to influence without pressure.

🎧 Listen now and let me know: What’s one way you plan to lead with influence instead of force this week?

Difficult conversations are unavoidable—but avoiding them is optional.

In this episode of Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, we dive into why so many people avoid hard conversations and how that avoidance quietly damages relationships, teams, and trust. Whether in leadership, work, marriage, friendships, or family dynamics, unresolved conversations don’t disappear—they compound.

This episode breaks down what actually makes conversations difficult, the common mistakes that escalate tension, and the practical shifts that help conversations move from fear to clarity.

You’ll learn:

• Why avoiding difficult conversations creates resentment and emotional distance
• The difference between entering a conversation to “win” versus to understand
• How to regulate yourself before speaking so the conversation doesn’t derail
• Why curiosity keeps conversations open while accusation shuts them down
• How to speak from impact instead of blame
• Why discomfort isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong—but often a sign you’re doing it right

Difficult conversations don’t break relationships. Avoidance does. This episode will help you approach the conversations you’ve been putting off with clarity, courage, and intention.
