    Influence: Persuasion Without Pressure

    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 themWhy pressure triggers resistance (and how curiosity creates openness!)The brain science behind feeling cornered — and why it shuts down connectionHow 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?

    Mastering Difficult Conversations

    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 distanceThe difference between entering a conversation to “win” versus to understandHow to regulate yourself before speaking so the conversation doesn’t derailWhy curiosity keeps conversations open while accusation shuts them downHow to speak from impact instead of blameWhy discomfort isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong—but often a sign you’re doing it rightDifficult 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.

    Three Communication Mistakes Even Great Leaders Make

    Leadership doesn’t fall apart because of bad intentions—it often unravels through everyday communication mistakes made by well‑meaning, experienced leaders. In this episode of Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, we break down three communication habits that quietly erode trust, clarity, and connection—even in strong leaders. These aren’t mistakes made by people who don’t care. They’re made by smart, driven leaders who are moving fast, carrying responsibility, and trying to do their best. Communication isn’t about being the loudest voice, sending the most messages, or having the perfect words. It’s about how your message is received, understood, and felt. In this episode, we explore: Why repeating yourself louder doesn’t equal clarityHow talking to be understood blocks real connectionThe difference between leading from authority versus leading from relationshipWhy people stop telling leaders the full truthHow small communication shifts can dramatically improve trust and moraleWhether you lead a company, a team, a family, or yourself, this episode will help you identify blind spots and strengthen the way you show up in conversations that matter.

    Why Listening Beats Talking in Leadership

    In this episode of Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, we kick off a month‑long deep dive into leadership and communication—and we start by dismantling one of the biggest leadership myths of all time: that strong leaders are the loudest ones in the room. True leadership isn’t about dominating conversations, having the fastest answer, or commanding attention through volume. The most effective leaders don’t talk the most—they listen the best. In this conversation, I unpack why listening is not passive or weak, but one of the most powerful leadership tools available. When leaders listen well, they create trust, clarity, safety, and influence—things no amount of talking can manufacture. In this episode, we explore: Why being “the loudest” is not the same as being effectiveThe difference between talking to be heard and listening to be trustedHow over‑talking shuts down innovation and engagementWhy teams stop contributing when they feel unheardHow listening creates psychological safety and real leadership presenceWhat true leadership actually looks like in everyday life—not just in the boardroomWhether you lead a company, a team, a family, or simply yourself, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership—and give you a new lens for showing up with impact. 🎧 Subscribe, share, and join us as we spend the next month building stronger leadership and communication skills—together.

    The Five Pillars of Sustainable Empowerment

    In this episode, Carrie breaks down what sustainable empowerment really looks like, not just the flash-in-the-pan kind that comes from a great pep talk, but the kind that carries you through the highs, the lows, and the “I’d rather just stay in bed” moments. Empowerment is not arrogance. It’s not about shouting the loudest or taking up space just to prove a point. True empowerment is a quiet confidence rooted in self-awareness, intention, and alignment. And more than anything, it’s a journey—not a destination. She walks you through the five pillars that create a foundation for sustainable empowerment: Physical Empowerment – Taking care of your body to support your energy and purpose.Mental Empowerment – Cultivating a mindset that allows you to grow and expand.Emotional Empowerment – Honoring your emotions without being ruled by them.Financial Empowerment – Feeling safe, informed, and in control of your resources.Spiritual & Alignment Empowerment – Living in alignment with your core values and identity.Whether you're trying to reclaim a habit that once gave you energy (like she does with her early mornings) or you're redefining what empowerment means in this season, this episode will give you the framework to build your own sustainable power, brick by intentional brick.

    Does Empowerment Mean Being Louder Than Everyone Else?

    In today’s episode of Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee, I’m pulling back the curtain on a myth I hear far too often: “I’m loud, I’m bold, I’m in-your-face... therefore, I must be empowered.” Let me be clear: empowerment isn’t volume. It’s presence. It’s clarity. It’s confidence. And it’s knowing when to speak, when to rest, and when to pivot—without needing anyone else’s permission. We’ll talk about: The difference between confidence and arroganceWhy true empowerment doesn’t need to yellHow to take your power back without stepping on othersThe internal shift that lets you rewrite your own rulesThis episode is your gentle, bold reminder that you were created with power built into your DNA. You don’t have to hustle for it. You just have to remember it. Let’s walk in that power—together.
