Being Human with Leana Deeb
Hi, my name is Leana Deeb, and this is the space I wish existed when I was growing up, finding myself, and figuring out who I truly wanted to be. We all go through seasons of growth and realignment, trying to stay grounded, build discipline, and stay true to ourselves. Every week, I’ll share honest conversations and reflections around faith, identity, discipline, purpose, health and everything in between. Sometimes it’s just me talking about what I’m learning, and other times I’ll sit down with people who inspire me to think deeper and live better. Some episodes will challenge you. Others will bring peace. But every one of them is here to remind you that you’re not alone, and that growth is never perfect, it’s personal. Welcome to Being Human with Leana Deeb.

In this solo episode, Leana says the things she has been sitting on for a while.

From there she gets into feminism and whether it actually makes room for every woman, what the con...

In this solo episode, Leana gets into one of the topics she lives by — discipline and how to actually stick to your word.

She shares the exact systems, mindset shifts, and daily habits that took her from someone wh...

In this episode, Leana goes solo for a raw, personal reflection on wanting a partner and not yet finding the right one.
