The Women's Vibrancy Code: Women's Health And Wellness

What if the pain, doubt, or addiction you're hiding is the very doorway to becoming who you truly are?

In this soul-stirring episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya Brown sits down with Adam Jablin - bestselling author, life coach, and creator of The Hero Project for a raw, heartfelt conversation on sobriety, healing, and awakening the hero within.

Adam shares how his own journey through addiction, divorce, and dismantling his family's multi-generational business led him to build a life rooted in service, recovery, and deep emotional honesty. Together, they explore how healing isn't a one-time event. It's a daily choice to go inward, tell the truth, and reconnect with purpose.

• The real story behind Adam's sobriety and spiritual awakening

• How he went from people-pleasing and addiction to coaching high-level leaders

• Why loneliness is a spiritual wound, not a circumstantial one

• The truth about men, vulnerability, and emotional safety

• How the Hero's Journey mirrors recovery, reinvention, and rebirth

• Why helping others is the most powerful part of healing

• The surprising thing Adam wishes he had at age 16 and how he wants to give it to the next generation

This is not your typical recovery story. It's a deeply human reminder that healing begins when we stop hiding and start telling the truth, even if we're scared.

Whether you're navigating your own transformation or supporting someone who is, this episode will leave you feeling seen, uplifted, and ready to take your next brave step.

In this empowering episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya Brown explores the life-changing impact of something deceptively simple: puttering.

Drawing on powerful metaphors like the Executive Monkey Study and insights from thought leaders such as Alison Armstrong and Oprah, Maraya breaks down why high-achieving women often carry too much and how it's silently wrecking our hormones, nervous systems, and joy.

You'll discover:

• Why "being in control" creates chronic stress and burnout
• The overlooked importance of adrenal health for women
• The feminine medicine of puttering - Doing gentle, non-urgent tasks with no outcome required
• How white space and creative flow can lead to visionary breakthroughs
• A transformative question to reframe emotional pain: Where have I felt this before?

• Symptom checklist: migraines, PCOS, insulin resistance, rheumatoid arthritis, neuro-degeneration—how low melatonin links them all.
• Smart supplementation: plant-based (phyto) melatonin vs. synthetic, starter micro-dose 0.3–1 mg, and how to avoid next-day grogginess.
• Life-stage shifts: why levels plummet after puberty and crash at 50 (and how peri- & post-menopausal women can benefit).
• Action blueprint: 6 step-by-step fixes—morning sunlight, evening screen curfew, fiber-rich gut foods, daily movement, Dutch Plus + GI-MAP testing, and rhythmic sleep hygiene.
