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.
