In today's episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya is joined by a leader in the field of mindfulness psychology Dr. Shefali to talk about reclaiming feminine power and the freedom to simply be. The healing journey begins with our inner child and stays with us through adulthood, as past experiences and conforming to expectations have lasting effects into our relationships. It's by embracing our own feminine power and destigmatizing our own beliefs and personal relationships with our own bodies that we can begin our transformations and stand in our own power, even when at conflict in relationships. Dr. Shefali talks about how her courses are designed to empower women to embody their feminine power and relinquish control, allowing their needs to be met and their pleasure prioritized, leading to stronger and healthier relationships.
IN THIS EPISODE:
[05:36] The flow of the Free To Be course and how to begin your transformations
[10:46] The power in and importance of overcoming existing societal expectations
[12:03] Destigmatizing knowing our own bodies
[13:02] Standing in your own feminine power in face of relationship conflicts
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
So often feminine pleasure and power take - at best - a back seat. But speaking with Dr. Shefali, we discuss how we can reclaim the power over ourselves and our own pleasure with intentional transformations, healing and destigmatization.

In today's episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya dives into the source of so many health complaints, from fatigue to low libido and more: adrenals. Did you know that a LOT of your long-term vibrancy complaints might be linked to poor adrenal function? Brain fog, digestive issues, exhaustion, rashes - they can all be because of adrenal issues. One of the BEST ways to get your adrenal function back in balance is through adaptogens and what I like to refer to as "adaptogen elixirs." These are strategic mixes of different adaptogens, mixed with a protein and fat source and taste amazing, to promote your long-term adrenal health. In this episode, we look at what different adaptogens are recommended, where to find them, what issues they address and so much more. Are you ready to correct your adrenal issues?
IN THIS EPISODE:
[00:09] Symptoms of poor adrenal health
[01:55] Different adaptogen elixirs to help varying adrenal problems
[13:00] Specific adaptogens, their sources and their effects
[18:27] How adaptogens function foundationally and the long-term positive effects on your health
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Adrenal health is a key part of your body's functions. If your adrenals are out of balance, you'll likely see unwanted symptoms, from fatigue to digestive problems, manifest in various ways. Getting your adrenals back into form is so important, and adaptogen elixirs are a fantastic, healthy and customizable way to fix those issues.

In today's episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya is joined by esteemed human-centered consultant Tressa Yonekawa Bundren to explore feminine power, intuition, presence, self-trust and more. Women's success and equality has historically been blocked. "We won't give you the funding, but I'll take you out for a drink" she was told. As Tressa and Maraya discuss, a woman's empowerment comes from making deliberate choices to stand in the truth of our power. In order to stand in our own power, we need to look inward, question and learn to trust ourselves. That may sound easier said than done, but this episode eases listeners into the concepts and practices.Embodying feminine power and presence doesn't just affect our reality - it gives our next generation of females permission to do the same. They do what we do, not what we say we will do.
IN THIS EPISODE:
[07:08] Factors of influence and consideration in self-identity and female power in today's society.
[13:57] How self-worth ties into living a legacy
[17:40] What true power really means and where it can be found
[22:28] Practices to build regular presence and power practice
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
With societal biases that can often make things turbulent for women to navigate, it's more important than ever to trust our own selves and step into our power. Between introspection, examining interval v. external validation cues, leaning into our intuition and more, we can begin to take those necessary steps toward personal empowerment.

In today's episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya discusses a common female worry: vaginal health, odors and discharge. Talking about the smells and emissions down there has been often stigmatized to be an uncomfortable subject, but it's simply a regular part of health and of healthy maintenance. Differences in discharge type and pH levels are usually nothing to worry about, and can stem from a variety of internal or environmental factors - and the same goes for vaginal odors. Except in rare extreme cases, most have a relatively harmless root cause and any lingering issues can be fixed with lifestyle tweaks or simple remedies, as Maraya explores in an accessible and informative talk.
IN THIS EPISODE:
[02:05] Normal vaginal pH ranges
[07:36] Factors that can affect discharge and discharge cycles
[08:24] Discharge issues, causes and different remedies to try
[11:35] Vaginal odors - reasons and courses of action
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Vaginal health is so important but can be so stigmatized. At some point, most women will experience fluctuations in discharge look and type as well as vaginal odors. It's nothing to feel ashamed of! While in extreme cases it can be a serious matter, some ups and downs in vaginal odors and discharge are normal and can stem from a variety of reasons - and most can be solved with a variety of simple remedies or lifestyle tweaks.

In today's episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya is joined by renowned intimacy wellness expert Susan Bratton to discuss female libido on a deep level. In our society, talking openly about feminine sexual desire - and sexual hesitancies - is often looked on as taboo. However, sex from a patriarchal standpoint is often celebrated. That leaves many women lost and feeling disconnected, especially when they are experiencing low bouts of libido. It's possible to experience passion and healthy intimacy at any age for women, and a lot of the work of uncovering intimacy disconnections comes from a variety of places: past trauma, physical pain, a lack of understanding of a woman's own anatomy, lack of supplements, etc. By speaking frankly and openly about sex both anatomically and intellectually, this episode helps get to the heart of reclaiming libido at any age.
IN THIS EPISODE:
[04:45] The different aspects of libido
[09:37] How female and male sexual anatomy are similar - and how they're different
[21:37] Understanding how different aspects of sexuality education work together
[24:07] Techniques, schools of thought and supplements for women to regain lost libido
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
The feminine experience with sex can be quite different from the patriarchal perspective, leaving many women to suffer through lost libido or uncomfortable sex in silence. But by destigmatizing the topic and by looking at sex and its associated issues as anatomical and psychological, we can get to the heart of how to master powerful, healthy and pleasurable libido as women at any age.

In today's episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya explores vibrancy and - especially - the common feeling of having depleted physical/emotional/hormonal vibrancy. When you were younger, did waking up feeling mentally and physically and emotionally fresh seem easier? As we age, it's very common that we feel diminished, but common does not mean normal. Perhaps you're sluggish or experiencing bloating or you're not as connected to your passion as you once were. Maraya shares her own personal journey with feeling disconnected and out of step and what steps she took to reclaim her vibrancy, as well as sharing helpful thought patterns and personal action steps for getting back in sync. Plus, she dives into the upcoming Vibrant Life Workshop for maximum impact.
IN THIS EPISODE:
[01:53] Common issues that plague women
[05:55] The cycle of vibrancy
[06:44] The journey back to physical vibrancy
[14:57] Steps you can take to feel more yourself again
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Losing your sense of vibrancy (from feeling exhausted to feeling uninterested to feeling disconnected and more) isn't an uncommon thing, but it's definitely something you can reclaim! The path to regaining your physical vibrancy may look a little different for everyone, but there are many options you can explore to reconnect and rejuvenate, from creating patterns to taking action to the upcoming Vibrant Life Workshop!

In today's episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya is joined by internationally renowned coach, Laura Berman Fortgang, to dig into decision-making. With so many paths in life, so many options and obstacles, how can you really know if you're making the right choice? For a lot of women - most women, in fact - decision-making is tied to identity, which is also tied to complicated life history. Your lived experiences of the past and present define not only how you identify and perceive yourself, but how you make decisions. As your life changes and takes new directions, it's important to take a look at both past and present motivations to unpack decision-making. As a whole, the process of reinvention can be an intuitive one - we're so often in our heads and answering to outside perceptions, that it's important to get back to our basic concepts of self, wants and identities. In today's episode, Maraya and Laura look at what drives decision-making, how to be more in tune with the right decisions, when to realign your choices and more!
IN THIS EPISODE:
[14:50] The three blocks to clarity
[18:21] How your life history affects your future decisions and self-perceptions
[23:02] Adjusting plans as your life changes, unpacking past and present motivation
[27:09] Beginning the process of reinvention
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Decision-making is a complex process, influenced by external perceptions, lived experiences and self-given identities. What has motivated you in the past and in the present play a key part in making choices, as does the need to get to the heart of yourself, your identity outside of a career and your true wants.

In today's episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya looks at those fair-weather friends, the adrenals. Did you know that adrenal balance is directly related to multiple common issues? If you're experiencing seemingly unexplained weight gain, loss of libido, a lackluster immune system, fatigue and exhaustion, and/or anxiety, your adrenals could be a root cause. Many external factors, such as stress, early trauma, diet, etc. can affect cortisol spikes which, in turn, do a number on the adrenals. And when the adrenals are out of whack, they manifest symptoms throughout your hormones and body, causing everything from gut issues to brain fog to irritability and more. In today's episode, Maraya covers the many symptoms and triggers of adrenal issues, as well as how to treat them - and what to avoid for your healthiest adrenal state!
IN THIS EPISODE:
[02:39] The symptoms of adrenal problems
[08:46] What can contribute to adrenal issue triggers
[10:30] Steps for healing adrenal issues and how to assess your quantifiable cortisol curve
[20:18] Foods and supplements that can help with adrenal health - and what to avoid
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Your adrenals control a lot about your body. If they're out of order, you'll see the results manifest in a variety of unwanted ways. Putting them back into balance will help with brain fog, wonky libido, fatigue, weight gain and more.

In today's episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya welcomes special guest Elena Tonetti, legendary Spiritual Midwife and founder of Birth Into Being. How can we as women prepare for pregnancy and birth? How do we know when we're ready - and how can we help make ourselves ready? The body is an amazing thing, storing memories within itself that we don't even consciously know are there. From the good (the innate memory of birth) to the bad (trauma), how we store and access those inner memories plays a huge role in having a positive pregnancy and birth. In today's episode, we take a deep, deep dive into birth and the body. Elena shares her wisdom on the body's (and mind's) readiness for the birthing process, how not just trauma, but also hormone production affects the birthing process, the importance of pleasure, understanding free will, exploring the generational wonder of childbirth and how it creates imprints from mother to daughter and so on, and so much more.
IN THIS EPISODE:
[03:05] Assessing readiness for pregnancy and birth
[14:19] The effects of personal trauma, hormones and brain chemicals on birth
[19:50] The free will of pleasure - how to find it and why it's important
[25:14] The generational miracle of birth and self-love
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Pregnancy and childbirth are beautiful yet frightening. They are a huge part of life that a lot of women go through. But how can they prepare for that? What goes into this process? Elena Tonetti dives deeply into the subject of birth and the body. She talks all about the readiness of the birthing process and everything that comes with that process.
