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:

Bills & Survival Mode

Fear of Failure

Lack of Support

Comparison Culture

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.

I shared why I feel overwhelmed but not surprised by what’s happening in America and unpacked a series of current events with honesty and context.

✨ In this episode we discuss:

A real conversation with someone in my comments — and how we agreed to disagree

How ICE and federal immigration agents are being criticized for use of force, including the death of Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse shot by Border Patrol officers during an enforcement operation in Minnesota in January 2026

Why the media spin often contradicts the reality people personally witness

How society responds differently to injustice depending on politics

Supporting each other as we learn new skills without breaking the bank

Why people tend to respect brands and images more than individuals

Supporting local businesses and valuing what you do
