In this episode of the Path of the Awakened Heart podcast, I’m joined by women’s health expert and modern-day midwife Maraya Brown for a grounded, deeply human conversation about embodiment, hormones, and the transitions that shape a woman’s life.
Maraya shares her journey from corporate life to midwifery, functional medicine, and guiding women through perimenopause and menopause, offering insight into what happens when the body begins asking for truth rather than compliance. We talk about why so many women feel dismissed in traditional healthcare, how hormonal shifts invite a deeper spiritual and nervous-system recalibration, and why the body itself becomes the most reliable guide during seasons of change.
Together, we explore the relationship between spirituality and physical vitality, the role of imagination and belief in healing, and how embodiment moves beyond information into lived, day-to-day reality. This conversation is especially for women navigating identity shifts, hormonal transitions, and the in-between space where something new is trying to be born.
Episode Highlights:
[06:00] How hormonal vitality, spirituality, and imagination work together in healing the body
[11:00] Why the body never lies and how nervous system regulation changes everything
[16:00] Understanding life transitions through the lens of birth, surrender, and support
