Send us a text Ever wonder if your teen’s eye-rolling, silence, or outburst might be something deeper than "just being a teen"? Teen confidence & anxiety coach Becky Funk joins host Dori Durbin to unpack what anxiety really looks like in teens—and how parents can protect connection while helping their kids self-advocate with calm and confidence. You’ll walk away feeling less alone and more equipped to respond, not react. You’ll discover:  • How to tell the difference between explosive and shutdown anxiety  • Why high-achieving perfectionists often fly under the radar  • The 4-step process Becky teaches teens: awareness → calm → resiliency → self-advocacy  • What warm parenting styles do for teen resilience (and why it’s never too late to change)  • How small-talk practice can ease college transitions “Communication is key—and protecting the relationship at all costs brings harmony to your home.” — Becky Funk About Becky:  Becky Funk is a Certified Master Life Coach, Confidence Coach, and former educator who helps anxious teens stop overthinking and start speaking up.
