I’M ENGAGED! How I Knew He Was the One + My Biggest Life Update Yet

In this solo episode, Leana is back with her biggest update yet — and she has a lot to share. She got engaged, she bought a house, she is stepping into a new era of her business, and she is navigating all of it while trying to stay grounded, disciplined, and close to God. This one is raw, unscripted, and straight from the heart.

For every woman who is in a season of big changes and is trying to hold it all together with grace… You’re going to love this one!

Leana gets into:

→ How she met her fiancé — first in 2019, then again in 2023, and why the timing was never right until now

→ What she wrote in her journal about the partner she wanted — and how he checked off every single thing on that list

→ Why she was not ready for a relationship before and what changed in her that made her finally open to it

→ The Islamic approach to dating and why there is no closed-door alone time before marriage

→ Getting engaged in about a month — and why when you know, you know

→ What it actually takes to balance a career and a relationship without letting your routine slip

→ Buying her first home through Islamic financing — what that process looked like and why she chose it

→ The renovation process and what she is building the home into

→ The project she has been sitting on for four to five years and why now is finally the right time to launch it

→ Onboarding a new team member, learning how to delegate, and what being a better boss is teaching her about herself

→ The Uplift You Discord community and what it has meant to connect with her audience one on one

→ Tawakkul — true trust in God’s plan — and how leaning into it makes uncertainty feel manageable

→ Going through a stalker situation in 2024 and how it made her want to disappear from the internet entirely

→ The messy chapter she had to walk through to finally feel grounded and at peace

→ Why a relationship will never fill a void — and why loving yourself first will always come before everything else

→ Entering her feminine era and what that is starting to look like in her daily life

“If it is written, it is going to come to you. But in order to attract the partner that you want in your life, you have to be the partner that is going to attract that person.” — Leana Deeb
