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.

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.

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:
