S5-A E4: The LGBTQ+ Youth

It's very hard for so many teenagers and kids going through puberty where they need to face their sexuality, and some cases have nowhere to turn. They have religious families and will not accept them. So we need to worry about these things for the youth to keep us as humankind alive and continue.

Today, we will be focusing on the following:

  • Non-acceptance
  • Education
  • Suicide and mental health

It's so important to understand this issue more than a problem. Still, both sides give the misinformation regarding education on the LGBTQ community and, in some cases, confusing children and making matters worse. A child is a person they have feelings just like adults. So just because you think a child doesn't understand what your saying they do, hopefully, today we can raise awareness and possibly help with approaching a family member about their sexual orientation, or perhaps your a parent and you're going thru with your child right now this situation whatever the case may be remember a listening air and place where they feel safe is the best place to start.

If your someone/knows someone in the LGBTQ+ community and they/your struggling and you need to talk with someone, feel free to reach out to the Trevor project link is below.

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.
