Ep: 021 Coming Home to Yourself: A Conversation with Maxine Mallen

About this episode

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Maxine Mallen, founder of Coming Home Coaching. Max’s work is shaped by both her professional training and her lived experience of rebuilding life after abuse and divorce. She brings a rare blend of psychological expertise and personal insight - supportingclients not just with theory, but with deep understanding, resilience, and hard‑won healing.

Trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Thinking Skills and Mindfulness, Max weaves structured therapeutic tools with compassion, grounding practices and practical strategies. Her approach helps people move through anxiety, low self‑esteem, relationship challenges, recovery and major life transitions with greater clarity, confidence and emotional stability.

For Max, healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s aboutrecognising your strength, reclaiming your voice, and creating a life that feels safe, aligned and empowered. Her story is a powerful reminder that riding the waves of change is a process of rebuilding, reconnecting and choosingyourself.

This episode is especially for midlife women navigatingmajor life transitions, healing from past relationships or seeking a more grounded, self‑led way forward.
