Episode 63

American Groove - #63 Feeling Pain, and how to deal with it.

Into the raw, and unfiltered conversation about life's ups and downs. Sharing personal stories, both of us having having tough weeks. With dealing life changing shit, and abusive situations. As the smoke gets thicker, we emphasised the importance of setting boundaries and protecting ourselves. While also laughing at the absurdities of life. Feeling pain, and being misunderstood to the challenges of staying true in the moment. In a world that often feels like it’s against us, not for us.

Dealing with the hypocrisy of societal norms, and the roles of food science. How it's impact of government regulations on our personal freedoms. The ironies of living in a world where we can choose to drink alcohol, and that's fine. When it comes to food and substances we shopuld have the right for us to make our own choice. As if, a rollercoaster of emotions and hypocrisy, offering a glimpse into our minds and the question's we face. The complexities of human connection, and our rights while smoking the devils lettuce.

Lost in the Groove is my space to explore the real, raw, and unexpected. I started this podcast because I was tired of feeling like nothing ever changes. My therapist once suggested, I write letters to the government to express my frustrations. Then I thought, "Why not create a podcast instead?" Here, I can talk about what I want, with whoever I want, no matter their beliefs. For me, it's about having honest conversations,. Breaking down walls, and getting people to think beyond the surface.

I grew up in a blue-collar family in the suburbs outside New York City, raised as an Orthodox Jew. Leaving the religious community in 2017 was a pivotal moment for me. It allowed me to embrace my identity as an artist, and chart my own path. Who I am today, and what this podcast represents, is deeply tied to my journey. Leaving a community that was a cult; still is. Discovering authenticity, creativity, and independence in myself.

I’m a car enthusiast, an artist, and someone who thrives on creative expression. From old-school rap, and psychedelic rock. To vintage muscle cars and European classics. I’m all about the things that inspire passion.
My co-host, Karissa Andrews, joins me for American Groove. Our segment on stoner culture, and life’s weirder twists. She’s an incredibly talented makeup artist, aesthetician, and candle maker. She brings a spice, pizazz, and realness to every conversation.

This podcast isn’t about chasing fame or conforming to trends, it’s about the experience. I want listener, whether they’re driving home, cooking, or just unwinding. To feel like they’re part of something real. Lost in the Groove is my way of staying true to myself, while connecting with others. learning, and having fun along the way.
