Episode 20: In this episode of The EducateHer’s Sanctuary, Dr. Lea explores the surprising truth behind feeling “tired” when chasing your next level. Is it genuine exhaustion—or is your subconscious regulating you back to your comfort zone? She unpacks how discipline must sometimes override emotion, why success can feel uncomfortable, and how to break free from self-sabotaging patterns. If you’ve ever found yourself stalling just as things start working out, this episode is the reset you didn’t know you needed.
Takeaways

- Awareness is the first step to change.
- You are becoming someone new with new goals.

- Don't let past versions of yourself dictate your future.
