The Facade Project

Happy New Year Facaders!! My sister Kayla joins me for a very special podcast where we look back at our year and let you know the 5 things to remember in 2018. When a new year approaches we always get that clean slate feeling. We look forward to new opportunities for example, finally getting our health together, traveling, working on our financial growth, or just doing something that we have never done. Kayla and I delve into all of this in this exclusive episode. A lot of times we want to put whatever struggles or failures we went through the prior year behind us, BUT the reality is, the low points are one of the main points in our lives that cause growth. They are a huge part of our story and no matter how much we want to put the struggles we went through behind us to start fresh… new struggles are always going to arise. Of course the Facade project’s goal is to show the beauty in all of our struggles because we wouldn’t be the person that we are today if we didn’t learn how to get through our low points. In this podcast Kayla and I just kind of talk about how we got through our low points in 2017 and what we hope to accomplish in the new year. We have 5 tips for you to remember heading into 2018 and something very exciting popping off on January 1st, 2018 so make sure to listen until the end. NOW Let’s break some facades! @kharisss

Darius Feaster is a Wisconsin transplant who moved to LA for a job opportunity but also to get out of his comfort zone and have a change of pace. He works in medical sales and hasn’t just found what he wants to do career wise yet but knows whatever he does, he wants to incorporate making an impact on youth in his community. Darius opens up to me about what it means to be a leader, why he gives back to his community and what he thinks is important to remember at the end of the day. He broke down his facades of all his party and travel pics on the gram to tell me who he is and what he hopes to accomplish in this world. I learned from this interview how important it is to stay grounded in a major city like LA and honestly how important paying it forward is in general. I don’t know about you but I always feel so much better when I am helping others where needed. I think sometimes we forget that we don’t always have to help financially but a little time, a little energy and a little effort goes a long way. Darius was ready to break the facades.

What’s up Facaders, my next guest is Sara Lane. She is a freelance writer currently living in Orlando, Florida. She moved to LA right after graduation to work in a public relations and advertising firm. While living in LA, she had a lot of trouble getting adjusted, and simply found out that LA was not the place for her. She moved to Seattle for a bit and then eventually took a job offer back home in Florida. Through all of the ups and downs, Sara doesn’t really find too much trouble breaking the facades in her life which is great to see especially when there are many of us who don’t show what’s real, who put up that front without breaking the facades. I think that this interview taught me that your mindset is everything. When moving to a new place thats out of your comfort zone, where you are starting over, and trying to make your way, it’s important to note the things that you value and stay true to those things whether professionally or personally. Sara is ready to break the facades, are you? @slane34

This week's guest is Yash Naran! I met him through a mutual friend and found out that we went to the same university and I knew I had to have him on The Facade Project. He has such a warm spirit, is on his grind, and is doing what he has to do to attain his goals and dreams. He moved out to LA almost a year ago to pursue acting and dance. Like most of my guests, he has his struggles and is working hard to get to where he hopes to be. In this podcast he talks about the struggles of really finding his support system, a lot of people having an opinion on what they think he should be doing and how he shuts those voices down. He also talks about the importance of not comparing, you may be on page 3 while someone else is on page 23 but thats ok. You’re just not on that chapter yet He’s definitely ready to break the facades, are you? Follow him @yashers
