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?
  • How to climb the emotional guidance scale from fear to joy
  • Why rest isn’t a reward - it’s a requirement for powerful feminine leadership

 

Whether you're juggling family, business, and community or simply feeling overwhelmed, this episode invites you to reclaim ease, pleasure, and presence. If you’ve been asking for permission to slow down, this is it.
