223. Leana Deeb: On Faith, Fitness, and Finding Purpose

The fitness industry tells women that the more skin they show, the
more they’ll grow; but what happens when a 24-year-old influencer
proves that philosophy wrong? Leana Deeb shares her radical
decision to transition from revealing fitness content to becoming
GymShark’s first modest fitness ambassador. This raw conversation
also opens up about chasing external validation and why women don’t
feel safe in their own bodies, connecting the dots between constant
appearance anxiety and physiological stress responses.  CLICK
