In Episode 36 of Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis, we talk about one of the most powerful realizations a person can have:

You are already enough.

So many of us spend years trying to fit in, shrink ourselves, or become what others expect. But the truth is that authenticity is where real freedom, confidence, and connection begin.

This episode is about releasing the pressure to conform and learning to embrace exactly who you are.

✨ In this episode we discuss:

• The pressure society places on us to “fit in”

• Why people hide parts of themselves to feel accepted

• The emotional cost of pretending to be someone you're not

• The power of authenticity and self-acceptance

• How being your real self builds deeper relationships

• Letting go of comparison and external validation

• Quotes and affirmations to strengthen your confidence

• Giving yourself permission to live boldly and unapologetically

💭 “The moment you stop trying to fit in is the moment you start truly living.”

If you've ever questioned your worth, felt different, or struggled to be yourself in a world that rewards conformity, this episode is your reminder that being you is your greatest power.

In Episode 35 of Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis, we’re having a real conversation about what actually kills dreams.

We were told to “dream big” as kids… but once we turn 18, we’re handed bills, responsibilities, and survival mode. So what happens to the vision? The passion? The thing we once believed in?

This episode is a reality check — but also a revival.

✨ In this episode, we discuss:

• Why adulthood often pushes us into survival instead of purpose

• The Top 5 Dream Killers:

  1. Bills & Survival Mode

  2. Fear of Failure

  3. Lack of Support

  4. Comparison Culture

  5. Mental Health Struggles

• Why comparison is stealing creativity

• How society conditions us to stop dreaming

• Why it’s NOT too late to start again

• The importance of surrounding yourself with vision — not opinions

• Taking small strides toward big dreams

• Giving yourself permission to live

💭 “Dreams don’t die — they get buried under fear, bills, and other people’s expectations.”

This episode is for the person who once had a big idea… and slowly let it fade.

It’s time to revive the dream.

In Episode 34 of Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis, we talk about being overwhelmed by the world but not surprised — especially during Black History Month, when we reflect on the ongoing pain, progress, division, and resilience in America.

I open with a personal moment: responding to a rude commenter only to discover they’re actually my cousin — and how we handled it respectfully. From there, we dig into current events, racial justice, politics, and media narratives that continue to shape our society.

✨ In this episode we discuss:

• The emotional toll of constant bad headlines and feeling desensitized

• Racial profiling and controversy over immigration enforcement

• The ongoing fallout from the Alex Pretti shooting and investigations (where the FBI has declined to share evidence with Minnesota authorities) and the larger protests against federal agents’ actions in Minneapolis 👇

• How media spin and national narratives can obscure truth

• The Candace Owens / Erika Kirk / Megyn Kelly discussions circulating in public discourse

• Political accountability and the Trump administration’s approach to federal enforcement

• Division within the diaspora, systemic structures built to divide us

• Why consistency leads to success — personally and collectively

• Lessons from 2025 and how I’m applying them in 2026

• Building financial freedom, supporting each other, and valuing growth

💭 “This is a lot — and it’s heavy — but ignoring it doesn’t make it go away.”

This episode is for anyone who’s questioned what they see in the news, felt frustrated by ongoing injustice, or wants perspective on how to navigate truth while staying grounded and focused on purpose.

This episode is about job trauma, toxic work environments, and the emotional toll of workplaces rooted in favoritism, racism, manipulation, and dishonesty.
