Self-Sabotage, Self-Forgiveness & Why the Way You Talk to Yourself Is Everything

In this solo episode, Leana gets into one of the most relatable struggles she has faced — self-sabotage. She opens up about how she used to let one mistake spiral into losing all her progress, dropping every habit, and going completely off track. This episode is her honest reflection on what it actually takes to break that cycle and why the way you speak to yourself when things go wrong is everything. This one is for every woman who has ever let one bad day turn into a bad week, a bad month, or a reason to give up entirely. Leana gets into: What self-sabotage actually looks like and why it keeps so many of us stuck Why it is okay to mess up — and why staying in that feeling is where the real problem begins The difference between suppressing your emotions and actually sitting with them Why God can forgive us but we struggle to forgive ourselves How to talk to yourself after a mistake the way you would talk to someone you love Journaling as a tool for self-awareness — and how to make it actually productive The five daily practices that keep her grounded: journal, pray, eat clean, learn, and train Why self-sabotage and consistency are so deeply connected The power of envisioning who you are five years from now — and starting to act like her today Why recognizing your worth changes everything about how you show up Living with the awareness that God is watching — and how that makes discipline easier A reminder that even in your lowest moments, you are making more progress than you think "Deep down, you already are her. It's just maybe a little bit of work that is needed to get there — but I'm confident in the fact that you will get there." — Leana Deeb TOPICS DISCUSSED (00:00) Intro & What Self-Sabotage Really Is (01:30) Why One Mistake Does Not Have to Ruin Your Progress (03:00) Sitting With Your Feelings Instead of Suppressing Them (04:30) Why We Can't Forgive Ourselves the Way God Forgives Us (06:00) How to Speak to Yourself After a Mistake (07:30) Journaling for Self-Awareness & Growth (09:00) The Five Daily Practices: Journal, Pray, Eat Clean, Learn & Train (10:30) Envisioning Your Future Self & Embodying Her Now (12:00) Recognizing Your Worth & Rooting for Yourself Stay connected with Leana Deeb: Instagram: @leanadeebb / @beinghumannpodcast TikTok: @leanadeebb / @beinghumannpod Learn more about your ad choices.
