I’ve helped thousands of midlife women move out of the start-over cycle and find an approach that finally works for their body and their life.Here’s what I believe:Midlife isn’t a decline — it’s your turning point.You don’t need extremes — just small steps that fit your life.And with the right support, you can feel capable, clear, and strong at any age.If you’re ready to stop starting over and finally find an approach that works for your body and your life, you’re in the right place.Get Heike's book: https://amzn.to/4tBvoGphttps://heikeyates.com/Book CarrieVee for a Speaking Engagement:  https://www.coachcarriev.com/contact-meJoin the Confidence and Clarity Membership!  https://carrievee.com/confidence-clarity-1Connect with CarrieVee:[email protected]:  @iamcarrievee TT:  @carrievee2022FB:  Carrie VerrocchioLI:  Carrie Verrocchio 

This week on Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie is diving into a conversation that so many women are quietly having behind closed doors:Why does “wellness” suddenly feel so exhausting?Somewhere along the way, taking care of ourselves stopped feeling peaceful… and started feeling like another impossible standard to achieve. Track your sleep. Track your food. Optimize your hormones. Drink electrolytes. Take the supplements. Heal your gut. Strength train. Meditate. Wake up at 5am. Journal. Cold plunge. Stretch. Hydrate. Fix your cortisol.…and somehow still look calm while doing all of it.No wonder women are overwhelmed.In this deeply honest episode, Carrie unpacks how wellness culture has shifted from supportive to performative—and why it’s time to simplify, reconnect with ourselves, and stop treating our bodies like projects that constantly need fixing. “You are allowed to take care of yourself without obsessing over yourself.” Book CarrieVee for a Speaking Engagement: https://www.coachcarriev.com/contact-me Join the Confidence and Clarity Membership! https://carrievee.com/confidence-clarity-1 Connect with CarrieVee:[email protected]: @iamcarrievee TT: @carrievee2022FB: Carrie VerrocchioLI: Carrie Verrocchio

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.

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.Book CarrieVee for a Speaking Engagement:  https://www.coachcarriev.com/contact-meJoin the Confidence and Clarity Membership!  https://carrievee.com/confidence-clarity-1Connect with CarrieVee:[email protected]:  CARRIE VERROCCHIOTT:  CARRIE VERROCCHIOFB:  Carrie VerrocchioLI:  Carrie Verrocchio Schedule your Discovery Call with CarrieVee!https://schedulewithcarrievee.as.me/?appointmentType=12343596

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.Book CarrieVee for a Speaking Engagement:  https://www.coachcarriev.com/contact-meJoin the Confidence and Clarity Membership!  https://carrievee.com/confidence-clarity-1Connect with CarrieVee:[email protected]:  CARRIE VERROCCHIOTT:  CARRIE VERROCCHIOFB:  Carrie VerrocchioLI:  Carrie Verrocchio Schedule your Discovery Call with CarrieVee!https://schedulewithcarrievee.as.me/?appointmentType=12343596Radical Empowerment Method Book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Bdp2BC

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.Book CarrieVee for a Speaking Engagement:  https://www.coachcarriev.com/contact-meJoin the Confidence and Clarity Membership!  https://carrievee.com/confidence-clarity-1Schedule your Discovery Call with CarrieVee!https://schedulewithcarrievee.as.me/?appointmentType=12343596Radical Empowerment Method Book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Bdp2BC

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.

In this episode of Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, I’m inviting you into a heart-to-heart about the power of solution-focused leadership—and how it's shaped not just my business life, but my entire outlook on the world. Whether you're leading a family, a small business, or a billion-dollar organization, the truth remains the same: great leaders don’t dwell on problems—they pivot toward solutions.I reflect on the profound influence my parents had on me, especially my mom, who was pioneering remote work before the internet was even a thing. She saw a challenge—wanting to raise her kids at home while also contributing financially—and created a thriving transcription business from her dining room table. Watching her turn limitations into innovations taught me that staying stuck is a choice, and solutions are always within reach if you're willing to get creative and stay persistent.I share how this mindset has impacted my work as a leadership and communication trainer and how I’ve seen firsthand what happens when people (and entire companies) stop circling the drain of the problem and start climbing toward the solution.If you’re feeling stuck, today’s episode is your gentle but firm nudge to shift your focus. Plus, I’ll leave you with a journal prompt to help you start brainstorming solutions to whatever challenge you’re facing right now.Until next time, keep writing, keep growing, and keep going—you.Radical Empowerment LIVE open for enrollment:https://carrievee.com/radical-empowerment-liveRadical Empowerment Method Book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Bdp2BCBook CarrieVee for a Speaking Engagement:  https://www.coachcarriev.com/contact-meJoin the Confidence and Clarity Membership!  https://carrievee.com/confidence-clarity-1Schedule your Discovery Call with CarrieVee!https://schedulewithcarrievee.as.me/?appointmentType=12343596

Dave shares the journey behind his newest book, Echoes to Remember, a sequel to his successful debut, Echoes Across the Tracks. Together, they explore the power of storytelling, time travel, and timeless principles of customer service that bridge both the past and the present.Dave offers a fascinating look into his fictional character Charlie—a seasoned business consultant who finds himself wrestling with the dilemma of whether to reveal his experiences of time travel. Through Charlie’s adventures, Dave weaves powerful parables about business, leadership, and customer service. Notably, he challenges the traditional notion that “the customer is always right,” reframing it as “the customer is always the customer,” and shares real-life examples of how businesses can differentiate themselves through responsiveness and personal connection.Carrie and Dave discuss how customer expectations have evolved post-pandemic, touching on topics like service responsiveness, modern communication tools, and how old-school relationship-building lessons remain just as relevant today. Dave also teases future books in his “Echoes” series, from stories set at sea on cruise ships to tales inspired by the chaos of urban streets.Listeners will walk away reflecting on how personal experiences shape their choices, how to serve others more effectively in business and life, and how to translate the lessons of the past into meaningful action today.Writing Prompt: Dave encourages listeners to look back over significant life events—both triumphs and mistakes—and write about what they learned from those experiences, finding connections that shape who they’ve become today.Contact Dave Moravec:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davemoravec2018/Email: [email protected]: www.salesmanagerforrent.comPhone: 309.838.1947 Echoes Across the Tracks Book: https://amzn.to/3UAnpcSEchoes to Remember Book: https://amzn.to/40fAKLa Echoes to Remember Coffee and Tea With CarrieVee Podcast Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coffee-and-tea-with-carrievee/id1514671446?i=1000654785238  Radical Empowerment Method Book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Bdp2BC Book CarrieVee for a Speaking Engagement: https://www.coachcarriev.com/contact-me Join the Confidence and Clarity Membership! https://carrievee.com/confidence-clarity-1 Schedule your Discovery Call with CarrieVee!https://schedulewithcarrievee.as.me/?appointmentType=12343596  Step Into Your Big Life Freebie: https://www.coachcarriev.com/stepintoyourbiglifefreebie The Radical Empowerment Method 2.0 Online Course https://www.coachcarriev.com/radicalempowermentmethod2  Get to an EVENT! www.carrievee.com/events Con

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.

Drawing from her own experiences of juggling responsibilities, she encourages listeners to evaluate whether their daily choices will matter five years from now. Carrie emphasizes that it's not about adding more hours to the day; it's about making intentional decisions with the time we’re given.
