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:www.carrievee.comcarriev@coachcarriev.comIG: @iamcarrievee TT: @carrievee2022FB: Carrie VerrocchioLI: Carrie Verrocchio
