In this deeply personal episode of Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie reflects on what confidence looked like in her younger years, how it evolved through grief, caregiving, menopause, and life's hardest seasons, and why the most powerful confidence often arrives later in life. Carrie explores the freedom that comes with releasing the need for approval, embracing authenticity, and finally stepping into the purpose you were always meant to live.
