🎸 From Grief to Tesla and Tears: A Journey Through Emotions 🎸
This week, Michael opens up about a deeply personal chapter—losing his dad just seven days ago. But don’t expect a somber vibe! Instead, this episode of Let's Get Real dives into the unexpected ways grief shows up, like 80s hairbands, rusted sprinklers, and a Whole Foods parking lot. Michael shares how Tesla's Modern Day Cowboy became the soundtrack for a cathartic, tear-filled truck ride through St. Pete. Buckle up for laughs, tears, and a surprising message from the inner child.
Through nostalgia and raw honesty, Michael and Spanish explore how music, memories, and moments of frustration can crack open emotions we didn’t know we were carrying. Ever cried while rocking out to a playlist? You're not alone! This episode is a reminder to let yourself feel it all, because even the messy moments bring clarity and healing.
