It's Okay To Hurt Out Loud
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if one of the strongest things you could ever do… was admit that you're hurting?
In this deeply personal episode of Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, Carrie shares a story she has never publicly told before—a moment that has stayed with her for more than twenty years. After donating a kidney to save her father's life, she found herself doubled over in pain in a hospital hallway, apologizing for being "weak." What happened next changed her perspective decades later.
This episode isn't built around a five-step framework or leadership strategy. Instead, it's an honest conversation about strength, vulnerability, and why so many of us believe we have to suffer silently.
If you've ever minimized your pain, apologized for needing help, or believed that showing emotion made you weak, this conversation is for you.
Strength doesn't mean you never cry.
Real strength isn't pretending you're okay.
Real strength is making the courageous decision, showing up anyway, and allowing yourself to be honest about the cost.
