What if we celebrated teens the same way we celebrate celebrities? ✨
In this inspiring episode of The Teen Anxiety Maze, I talk with Orlana Darkins Drewery, founder of The Shyne Awards, a red-carpet ceremony that honors young people (ages 13–24) doing incredible things in academics, arts, community service, and more.
We discuss:
🌟 How to recognize and celebrate the small wins in teens' lives
🧠 Why listening without judgment builds real connection
🎮 The importance of showing interest in what teens care about (even gaming!)
🙌 How The Shyne Awards is changing lives—and how you can nominate a teen!
Orlana shares her journey from feeling overlooked because of her zip code to creating a platform where youth can shine—literally and figuratively.
