179. From Addiction to Awakening: Adam Jablin on Recovery, Connection & the Hero Within

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.

In this powerful conversation, you'll hear:

• 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.
