Creating a Home Within — Even When Nothing Outside Feels Safe What happens when the life you thought you wanted… turns out to be a golden cage?
In this raw and beautifully honest conversation, Amanda Maxime shares her story of leaving behind a prestigious diplomatic career, a picture-perfect life abroad, and a tightly controlled identity — to rediscover who she really is. We talk about burnout, belonging, ambition, the guilt of wanting more — and what it means to finally choose yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you “should be happy” but aren’t… this one’s for you.
