Raising confident, resilient teenagers has never been more challenging. Between social media, anxiety, perfectionism, and constant comparison, today's teens face pressures previous generations never experienced. In this insightful episode of Living Boldly with Purpose, Dr. Brian Earnold sits down with Dr. Carla Caturia, teen confidence coach, educator, and former assistant principal, to discuss how parents can strengthen relationships with their children while helping teens build self-confidence, emotional resilience, and lasting self-trust. After spending more than two decades in education, Dr. Carla recognized that many high-achieving teens were quietly struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, and overwhelming pressure. Today, she helps teens, tweens, young adults, and parents create healthier communication, stronger relationships, and the confidence to navigate life's challenges. Whether you're a parent, educator, coach, or simply someone who wants to better understand today's generation, this conversation is filled with practical wisdom and encouragement. 🔥 In this episode, you'll discover: Why so many successful teens struggle with anxiety and self-doubt How social media impacts confidence and identity The difference between therapy and coaching How parents can improve communication with their teenagers Why emotional intelligence is one of life's most valuable skills How to help teens become resilient and confident Why self-trust is the foundation of healthy decision-making The importance of surrounding yourself with positive influences Practical ways parents can better support their children How coaching helps teens become their own best coach Dr. Carla reminds us that confidence isn't something we're born with—it's something we intentionally build through self-awareness, resilience, healthy relationships, and consistent personal growth. 🌐 Connect with Dr. Carla Caturia 📸 Instagram: @DrCarlaCaturia 📘 Facebook: Dr. Carla Caturia ▶️ YouTube: Dr. Carla Caturia She also offers a free online course, coaching resources, and valuable content for teens and parents across her social platforms. 🎙 Follow me for more inspiring conversations on leadership, parenting, faith, and personal growth: 📸 Instagram: @drbrianearnold 📘 Facebook: @brianearnold 🎥 YouTube: @brianearnold1 💼 LinkedIn: Brian Earnold 🐦 X (Twitter): @DrBearnold 🎵 TikTok: @brianearnold1 📚 Read my books: https://brianearnold.com/books 👉 Book a session with Dr. Brian: https://www.BookWithBrian.us 🌟 Register for our monthly virtual conferences: https://events.becomingtheperson.com 🎙 Follow me for more podcasting tips and exclusive offers: 📸 Instagram: @drbrianearnold 📘 Facebook: @brianearnold 🎥 YouTube: @brianearnold1 💼 LinkedIn: Brian Earnold 🐦 X (Twitter): @DrBearnold 🎵 TikTok: @brianearnold1 📚 Read my books: brianearnold.com/books Want to be the next story featured on our podcast?
