In this episode of The Transformation Maven Podcast, Rachel welcomes her friend Maxine Nwaneri. If you’re looking for work/life harmony, you won’t want to miss this. Maxine’s story starts in the most unbelievable way. As a teenager Maxine found herself homeless, a drop-out, penniless, and standing face-to-face with a pimp in a London apartment. She eventually went on to graduate from Cambridge University and is now one of the top 30 people under 40 in her industry. She talks about overcoming imposter syndrome and creating the life that you desire, even as you juggle career and mommyhood. You will love Maxine (and her amazing accent!)
