The EducateHer’s Sanctuary
The EducateHer’s Sanctuary is a mindset and personal growth podcast for women who lead, teach, nurture, and serve—whether that's in the classroom, at home, in business, or in your community. You’re always pouring into everyone else… but what about pouring into you?
Each week, Dr. Lea brings raw stories, honest conversations, and powerful mindset shifts to help you align with your purpose and reclaim your personal power.
You won’t just be inspired — you’ll feel seen. And you’ll walk away with the clarity, compassion, and courage you need to start living more intentionally… for YOU.
Because when you take care of yourself, you show up better in every part of your life — and that’s how you lead, love, and live from a place of overflow. Let's get into it.
The EducateHer’s Sanctuary
What if You're Not Becoming Her because You're Already Her? (And How This Changes Everything)
Episode 50: In this milestone 50th episode of The EducateHer's Sanctuary, Dr. Lea reflects on stepping into your true self as 2026 approaches. She challenges the myth that personal growth requires reinventing yourself. Instead, it's about aligning with the version of you that already exists. Through her personal journey of becoming her own blueprint, Dr. Lea explores why we straddle two identities, how old programming keeps us small, and the real cost of staying stuck. She reveals the spiritual truth that God doesn't call you to become something new. He calls you to step into what you already are. This is a powerful invitation to stop waiting, release old patterns, and claim your identity NOW.
