Predictive Brains, Regulated Bodies: How Teens Actually Change

In this episode, Lena Moxon gets real about what’s missing in most school-based support for teens and how Beyond Boxing fills the gap. Blending neuroscience, lived experience, and trauma-informed practice, Lena explores how identity is shaped not by what we’re told, but by what we feel in our bodies and experience in safe, structured relationships.

This isn’t about performance. It’s about process. And it’s about giving young people proof (not just praise) that they are capable of becoming something more.

You’ll hear:
Why schools often unintentionally dysregulate the very kids they’re trying to support
The science behind predictive processing and identity formation in teens
How Beyond Boxing uses movement, rhythm and relationship to create real transformation
Why we need to move beyond behaviour charts and build real contexts for self discovery

This one’s for the educators, parents, youth workers and anyone who believes young people deserve more than just being “managed.”
