🎙 In this special California episode of Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis, I’m joined by DJ Rootz — DJ, fiancé, father, and leader of the band Seven23 — along with my brother Esjay, who blesses us with live guitar vibes in the background.

We go deep into the art of consistency, small habits, and authenticity while also having fun with music, improv, and storytelling. This episode is full of gems, laughs, and wisdom you don’t want to miss.

✨ What we cover in this episode:

• How the band Seven23 got its name 🎶

• The power of small habits & celebrating small wins

• Why people chase instant gratification vs. putting in the work

• Do you really want it if you’re not willing to be consistent?

• The science behind repetition: from Dr. Umar to Lil Wayne, Drake & Nicki 🎤

• Anxiety and where it stems from

• Manifestation, vision, and living authentically

• Giving yourself grace + being present in the NOW

• Challenge: If it takes less than 2 minutes — do it now!

• Snippets of DJ Rootz’s music + live guitar from Esjay 🎸

• Freestyle song improv we created on the spot 🎶

• Why you’re not the main character in other people’s stories

💭 “Huge goals can be intimidating, but small habits build big wins.”

This episode blends music, mindset, and manifestation into one powerful conversation. Tune in and elevate with us.
