Wellness creator Leana Deeb welcomed TikTok personality Leo Skepi to her podcast Being Human with Leana Deeb in an episode titled "Leo Skepi: On Hate, Healing, and Why He Opened the Bible." The conversation, available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, leans into territory most influencer interviews avoid.
Two creators, one long conversation
Skepi is best known as the host of the Aware and Aggravated podcast and for the blunt commentary style that built his TikTok audience, which now extends across his YouTube channel as well. Deeb, by contrast, frames Being Human as a space for what she calls honest conversations and reflections around faith, identity, discipline, purpose, health and everything in between, per the show's official Apple Podcasts description. The two voices sit in different lanes, which is what gives the pairing room to move.
What the episode covers
According to the episode listing tracked on Apple Podcasts, the two work through subjects including mental health struggles and past suicidal thoughts, journaling as a tool for self-knowledge, prayer and faith, relationships, weight loss and physical practice, and Skepi's experience coming out. The framing matches Skepi's own pivot in recent months toward more reflective content on YouTube, where he has discussed reading scripture and rethinking his approach to confrontation. Rather than staying in surface-level creator gossip, the conversation circles repeatedly back to what each of them does when nobody is filming.
Where it fits in Deeb's catalog
Deeb launched Being Human as a mix of solo episodes and guest sit-downs, with the welcome episode posted on Spotify. The Skepi episode is positioned as one of the longer guest conversations in the run, and follows Deeb's own appearance on Gary Brecka's The Ultimate Human, where she covered similar themes around faith and fitness. The show is also distributed through iHeart, broadening its reach beyond the Apple and Spotify regulars.
Why the pairing works
The episode does not pretend the two creators agree on everything. What it does instead is let each of them describe, in their own register, how faith and self-discipline reshaped their public output. Listeners looking for a quick-hit clip episode should look elsewhere; this one is built for the long drive.
