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":"2026-07-30T16:20:01.174911+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/being-human-with-leana-deeb-7817511"},"episode":{"title":"What I Learned About Womanhood, Faith & Hormonal Health at a Women’s Retreat","slug":"what-i-learned-about-womanhood-faith-hormonal-health-at-a-women-s-retreat","published_at":"2026-07-02T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/being-human-with-leana-deeb-7817511/what-i-learned-about-womanhood-faith-hormonal-health-at-a-women-s-retreat","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/PNO5835492723.mp3","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/claritaspod.com/measure/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/p969720/traffic.megaphone.fm/PNO5835492723.mp3","summary":"In this solo episode, Leana opens up about everything she learned on her week-long faith-focused retreat in Deià, Mallorca, Spain.
