Episode 3 - They Tried to Make Me Go to Rehab...and I said 'Okay'

Episode 3 of Odyssey of a Teenage Dirtbag dives into one of the most defining chapters of my life — the 28 days I spent in juvenile rehab. Before I fully dropped out of high school, before the chaos that shaped the rest of my teens, this was the first place I was forced to slow down, look inward, and confront who I really was becoming.

Inside that building I learned things I never expected — how to sit with myself, how to open up, how to notice the patterns I kept running from… and yeah, even how to spin a basketball on my finger for the first time. Those 28 days weren’t glamorous or inspirational in the moment, but looking back, they changed the entire trajectory of my life.

If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or on the edge of spiraling, this episode is for you. Thank you for listening and being part of the journey. New episodes of the Odyssey drop weekly.
