BE VULNERABLE: What's Your Story?


Listen Later

On July 13th, 2020, in the second episode of "Let's Get Shit Done.", Iman Huschmand and Jasmine Karshenas lay it out all out. True happiness starts within and in order to reach it, one must accept, embrace, and evolve from experiences of the past. Some experiences are in your control and some aren't, but the reality is that wherever you are today in your life, is the result of many things, people, and decisions that have compounded throughout the years. For the very first time, both Iman and Jasmine share their stories of personal and professional hardship, to serve not only as a stepping stone in their own growth but in the hopes of encouraging others to do the same. To dig deep inside, analyze their past behaviors (and those of others), forgive themselves (and others), and work on finding their authentic self, voice, and happiness. One of Jasmine's goals has been to be more vulnerable and she undoubtedly achieved it by sharing the most intimate details of her relationship, or lack thereof, with her father and how now looking back, the profound impact that it has had on her relationships with men, personally and professionally. Iman's story is different but the long term effects have been profound in its own right. His story, as he recently realized, stems from getting bullied at a young age growing up in Germany and the constant moving from one country to another, led to him being unable to build solid friendships and the ability to "fit-in". A new DJ business during college led to a sudden burst of local "celebrity" status in the DC Metro area which resulted in not just fitting in, but being "cool" and "relevant" for the first time. Unbeknownst to him, ego seeped into him and the eventual side effects spread through his relationships and ultimately a major financial crash in 2019. Both Iman and Jasmine hope that their stories of trials and tribulations will be an opportunity for others to have tough conversations with themselves and important individuals around them that will help them reach the ultimate level of authenticity, which is the only path to true internal forgiveness, healing, and happiness. Once you reach that point, a new purpose is found, which has the ability to transform a life, which everyone is deserving and worthy of.
