In this unflinching episode of Feral But Sober, Leanna sits down with Josh—better known as The Dopeless Fiend—author of Flip Side different sides of the same coin. From trap house survival to spiritual awakening, Josh shares the gritty truth behind addiction, identity, and the radical act of flipping your own narrative.
We dive deep into the duality of destruction and redemption, the shame that silences, and the storytelling that sets us free. With punk-infused honesty and trauma-informed insight, this conversation is a raw reminder that recovery isn’t just sobriety—it’s rebellion, rebirth, and reclaiming your voice.
Topics include:
• What it means to be “dopeless” in a world built to keep you numb
