Why do some high-achieving teenagers look confident on the outside while struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, self-doubt, or burnout underneath?

In this episode of Thrive After 40: Holistic Health with Barbara, Barbara Karafokas speaks with Dr. Carla Caturia, elite mental performance coach and founder of House of Rise, about the hidden pressures facing high-achieving teens.

They explore how grades, sports, comparison and the need for approval can become tied to self-worth—and how parents can support their children without rescuing, fixing or adding more pressure.

Dr. Carla shares practical ways to help teenagers:
• Separate self-worth from achievement
• Build self-trust and emotional intelligence
• Develop resilience through mistakes and responsibility
• Manage perfectionism, anxiety and pressure
• Become more confident and independent

A valuable conversation for parents, educators, coaches and anyone supporting young people who may be capable on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside.

Listen in for practical insights on raising confident, resilient and emotionally healthy young people.
