Please provide more information, what is your project structure?
Are you using Route Groups? Normal layouts are nested by default

in my app directory i have my layout.js and my page.js
and my dashboard folder
in my dashboard folder i have layout.js and page.js
and some reason the navbar component is in my dashboard page
your layout is nested, it's expected that your navbar is displayed in dashboard folder

how do i unnest it?
You should read the docs:
https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/pages-and-layouts#nesting-layouts
To have unique layouts for each pages under a specific folder, use [Route Groups](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/route-groups)

In the route group, with all pages that you expected to have a navbar
