Why I’ll Never Stop Fighting for Our Teens — and Why Boxing Is Part of the Solution

This podcast starts the way most real conversations do, with a deep breath, a bit of backstory, and a whole lot of heart. If you work with young people, love young people, or were a young person who felt unseen, then this space is for you.

I know people raise their eyebrows when I say I use boxing to teach emotional regulation. I know they whisper isn’t that just asking for trouble? But they’re missing the point. Because the real trouble? The stuff that keeps me up at night? It’s not the kid who throws a punch. It’s the kid who never got the chance to. The one who was told to sit still, shut up, behave, repress. And now he’s 15 and shaking with the weight of everything he was never allowed to feel.

This episode is a call. A confession. A case for doing things differently.
