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.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-12T10:18:40.772498+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/being-human-with-leana-deeb-7817511"},"episode":{"title":"Discipline, Pilates & the Independent Woman: Ambition, Love & Building Your Dream Life w/ Raven Ross","slug":"discipline-pilates-the-independent-woman-ambition-love-building-your-dream-life-w-raven-ross","published_at":"2026-04-30T22:59:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/being-human-with-leana-deeb-7817511/discipline-pilates-the-independent-woman-ambition-love-building-your-dream-life-w-raven-ross","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/being-human-with-leana-deeb-7817511","url":"https://pdst.fm/e/claritaspod.com/measure/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/p969720/traffic.megaphone.fm/PNO6596116622.mp3?updated=1777590872","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/claritaspod.com/measure/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/p969720/traffic.megaphone.fm/PNO6596116622.mp3?updated=1777590872","summary":"In this episode, Leana sits down with entrepreneur, dancer, and former reality TV star Raven Ross for a conversation that is raw, real, and completely unfiltered.
