In Episode 8 of Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis, we’re diving into what it really means to live the soft life—and why for Black women, choosing softness is a bold, revolutionary act. We’ve been taught that strength means pushing through, never asking for help, and always being the “strong one.” But in this episode, I’m challenging that. Because real strength is being soft without apology. 💭 In this episode: The truth about the strong Black woman myth What the soft life really means (beyond the aesthetic) How I started embracing rest, peace, and emotional safety Why softness doesn’t equal laziness—it equals freedom ✨ Your softness is sacred. You don’t have to earn rest. You are already worthy. 👇 Comment below if you’re in your soft life season, or if you’re still figuring it out—let’s talk about it. — 🔔 Subscribe for more healing, elevation, and unfiltered conversations every week. 📲 Follow me on TikTok + IG: @MyaLamis 🎧 Listen to Beyond Nrml on Podbean, Spotify, Apple & more.
