The Beyond Nrml Mindset | Thinking Outside the Box & Embracing Difference ft. Tae | Ep. 21

In this episode of Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis, I’m joined by my friend Tae to dive deep into what I call The Beyond Nrml Mindset. It’s about thinking outside the box, embracing difference, and knowing you were meant for more.
Together, we explore how being “different” isn’t a flaw — it’s a gift. Society often pressures us to fit in, but the truth is, we were made to stand out.
✨ In this episode we cover:
What it means to live with the Beyond Nrml mindset
Why thinking differently sets you apart in life & business
The beauty of standing out instead of blending in
How to embrace being “different” in a world that values sameness
Encouragement to chase the vision you were created for
💭 “We weren’t made to fit in — we were made to stand out.”
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, overlooked, or like you don’t fit the mold — this conversation will inspire you to own your uniqueness and elevate beyond what’s “normal.”
