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.

• Straddling two identities hinders your growth.
• Fear often keeps us from stepping into our true potential.
• Desires are a guide to the version of you that already exists.
