Debra just launched her second book in July 2025, What If Your Teen Isn’t the Problem? A Guide to Conscious Parenting—a powerful guide to help parents manage their fears and emotional triggers, communicate more consciously, and build stronger, healthier relationships with their teens and parent from their heart, instead of a place of fear. When you parent from fear, that energy can negatively affect your interactions, causing your teens to pull away. But when you lead with awareness, reflection, and emotional maturity, you build trust and connection. 

Debra is also the award-winning author of My Feet Aren’t Ugly: A Girl’s Guide to Loving Herself from the Inside Out, a trusted guide for adolescent girls navigating self-esteem and identity. My Feet Aren’t Ugly, was published by Beaufort Books in 2007, with two new revised editions.

Debra Beck is the founder of Empowered Teens and Parents, award winning author, dedicated retreat facilitator and mentor specializing in teen-parent relationships. Debra brings deep insight and compassion to her work, helping families heal, reconnect, and thrive.

Through her one-on-one Mother-Daughter and Family Retreats in Sedona, Arizona, Debra continues to support parents and teens in breaking through disconnection and cultivating deeper bonds.
