In this episode of Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee, we welcome leadership expert Currie Gauvreau to discuss what it truly means to lead with intention. Currie, the Executive Vice President of The Honest Water Filter Company and an award-winning author and trainer, shares insights from his extensive experience in leadership development, training, and law enforcement. He explains the fundamental difference between leadership and management, emphasizing that while managers focus on maintaining systems and processes, true leaders inspire and develop their teams. Leadership is not about simply giving orders or ensuring tasks are completed but about fostering growth, empowering others, and creating an environment where people can thrive.

Throughout the conversation, Currie highlights why motivation alone is not enough and how inspiration plays a crucial role in effective leadership. He discusses how business owners who fail to lead intentionally often see stagnation, regardless of how great their product or service is. Leadership is about building trust, being vulnerable, and guiding teams toward shared goals with clarity and purpose. He also shares practical steps for developing leaders within an organization, stressing the importance of training others to step into leadership roles rather than hoarding control. Whether you are a business owner, a manager, or someone looking to grow into a leadership role, this episode offers valuable insights into how to lead with authenticity and impact.

Currie Gauvreau is the Executive Vice President of The Honest Water Filter Company. Before joining Honest Water Filter, Currie served as the Director of Success Academy, a training group that supported one of North America’s largest home service providers including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services. His team was responsible for the development, design, delivery, and evaluation of training and education consisting of Instructor-Led Training, Web Based Training, and Online Self-directed Training. Currie provided the organization with training in such areas as leadership, communication, sales, and business management.

Gauvreau is an award-winning author and trainer as well as a decorated police officer. He has taught for more than 33 years and has served as an adjunct faculty member at several universities since 2006. His career also includes 17 years in law enforcement where he retired as a Patrol Sergeant after serving as a Police Diver and the primary instructor at the Sarasota County Police Academy in Florida.

Gauvreau earned his bachelor’s degree from Westfield State University in Westfield, MA, and his master’s degree from the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL. He resides in Lakewood Ranch, FL.

In this thought-provoking episode of Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie dives deep into the concept of time, questioning the common belief that we simply need more time to feel fulfilled and productive. Spoiler alert: the answer is no—we don’t need more time. What we truly need is a mindset shift about how we use the time we already have.

Carrie shares her personal reflections on the "tyranny of the urgent"—the tendency to prioritize tasks that feel pressing but aren’t necessarily meaningful in the long run. 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. She also introduces her new mastermind, "It’s About Time," designed to help participants reclaim their schedules and focus on what truly matters.

In this episode of Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee, host CarrieVee explores the powerful distinction between direction and intention and how it impacts personal growth, goal-setting, and productivity. Inspired by a conversation with a friend, CarrieVee dives into why having good intentions isn’t enough to create meaningful change. Instead, she emphasizes the importance of taking intentional action and aligning goals with direction.

Using her own experience of getting braces as an example, she shares how shifting from intending to fix her teeth to actually taking action changed everything. She further expands on how losing her structured morning routine over the years left her feeling lost, and how reclaiming direction—through consistent habits like morning workouts—helped her regain momentum. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of great ideas but little progress, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee! In this inspiring episode, CarrieVee welcomes back the incredible Madeline Claire Weiss, author of the personal development workbook for kids, What's Your Story? Building Your Best Adventures in School and Life. Together, they delve into the transformative power of rewriting your story, the science of mindfulness, and the magic of happiness—all tailored for young minds.

Madeline shares how her groundbreaking workbook empowers children to navigate their emotions, rewrite unhelpful narratives, and build their "superpower team" with their brain. They discuss the importance of teaching kids (and adults!) how to acknowledge emotions, team up with their brain, and make powerful plans for positive outcomes. From practical breathing techniques to the value of journaling, Madeline's insights are both actionable and heartwarming.

Carrie and Madeline also explore the power of good company—both external and internal—and how curating uplifting thoughts and relationships can transform your life. They reflect on personal stories, such as Madeline’s experience of overcoming childhood grief and CarrieVee’s memories of her father’s invaluable lessons, reminding us that the stories we tell ourselves shape our realities.

In today’s eye-opening episode, I sit down with Kim Rogers, also known as The Worm Queen, to dive into a topic that most of us never think about—but should! Kim is a leading expert in parasite cleansing, environmental toxins, and holistic health, and she’s here to blow your mind with the hidden truths about parasites, mold exposure, and autoimmune conditions.

Kim shares her personal journey from chronic illness to vibrant health, detailing how she uncovered the root cause of her health struggles—parasites and environmental toxins. She discusses how Western medicine often overlooks parasites, even though they affect up to 90% of the population, and why regular parasite cleansing is a normal practice in many countries—but not in the U.S. We dive deep into how parasites enter our bodies, the shocking symptoms that could be linked to an infestation, and why most conventional medical tests fail to detect them.

Kim also explains the healing power of herbs, mushrooms, and detoxification, highlighting her Purify Parasite Cleanse and why she believes parasites are at the root of many chronic illnesses. She shares the common signs of parasites (including teeth grinding, sugar cravings, gut issues, and insomnia) and walks us through the detox process—what to expect, how to minimize die-off symptoms, and why this is essential for long-term health.

If you’ve ever struggled with unexplained symptoms, autoimmune issues, chronic fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, or gut problems, this episode is a must-listen! Kim’s mission is to help others reclaim their health by understanding the impact of parasites, mold, Lyme, and other environmental toxins—and she provides the exact steps to start healing.

Kim Rogers - also known as the Worm Queen - is a seasoned wellness professional with over 18 years of experience in Western Medicine. She has authored numerous medical publications, contributed to nation allied health certification tests, and provided valuable insights as a member of medical advisory boards.

Kim's journey in the medical field took an unexpected turn with her own health challenges in 2018. She embarked on a personal quest to strive for a more holistic and natural approach.

Inspired by her own healing, Kim founded RogersHood Apothecary in December of 2021 and invented the globally known, best selling ParFy Cleanse Kit.

This kit consists of high quality, handmade herbal tinctures targeting unwanted parasites, worms, candida, heavy metals, and toxins while promoting wellbeing.

In this episode of Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee, we explore why minor inconveniences can trigger major anger, especially during the holiday season. From long lines to traffic jams, it’s easy to let stress take over, but what’s really behind this frustration? Often, unresolved trauma, grief, or unmet expectations fuel these overreactions, leaving us walking through life “holding the sword,” ready to fight. But carrying anger wastes our energy and steals our joy. When we take a step back, we often realize those moments of frustration were never worth it in the first place.

So how do we let go and live with more peace? It starts with taking care of yourself—getting enough sleep, eating well, and making time for fun and relaxation. Journaling is another powerful tool to uncover hidden stressors and find clarity. If anger feels overwhelming, consider talking to a counselor or coach to unpack deeper issues. This week, I challenge you to a journal exercise: write down your thoughts every day for seven days and see what insights emerge. Let’s put down the sword, choose joy, and spread kindness this holiday season. Share this episode, subscribe, and join me next time on Coffee and Tea with CarrieVee!
