Episode 3 - Juvenile Rehab

from Odyssey of a Teenage Dirtbag · host Michael J. McCorkle

In this episode, Michael dives into one of the most defining chapters of his life — the 28 days he spent in juvenile rehab. Before he fully dropped out of high school, and before the chaos that would shape the rest of his teenage years, this was the first place he was forced to slow down, look inward, and confront who he was becoming.Inside that building, he learned things he never expected — how to sit with himself, how to open up, and how to recognize the patterns he had been running from. Along the way, he even picked up something simple but memorable, like learning to spin a basketball on his finger for the first time. Those 28 days weren’t glamorous or inspiring in the moment, but in hindsight, they altered the trajectory of his life.For anyone who has ever felt lost, stuck, or on the edge of spiraling, this episode is meant for you. Thank you for listening and being part of the journey.
