Ep10 – The Fear Fighter Manual by Luvvie Ajayi Jones
Maxine sneaks back from her holidays and tries to tell you all about the book she read months ago. But just tells you to read it yourself. Pretty much… It’s wonderful, it’s affirming, it’s the book we need to read because we have work to do if we are going to get this world fairer […]

Ep 9 – Food Freedom by Melissa Hartwig
In this episode, Maxine ignores all the lessons in this book and tries to bore you into joining her on her food freedom journey. She also thinks about how eating and self care relate to excellence (and evidently forgets that the book in ep 8 is the Power of Ritual by Casper Ter Kuile!)

Ep 4 – I am my brand by Kubi Springer
This episode goes a bit weird because I didn’t actually read all the book because it’s not super relevant to someone at the start of their journey. I talk about about how I’m just as excited about organisational improvment as I am self development and I find a key to the way out of my […]
