My name is Maxine Prince. I am the CEO of the Quiet Ache Club, a mother of two, a student, an entrepreneur and I work full-time in healthcare.

Soft PAWS is the first of the series of books that is released from the Quiet Ache Club, it was born from real life -from moments where emotions speak faster than wisdom and where words too quickly can leave permanent marks on temporary feelings.

This space is about learning to pause.

To breath before reacting.

To step inward before responding outwardly. Because sometimes the smallest pause can bring the clearest understanding.

I know what it feels like to be emotionally loud, to feel deeply and to still be learning how to communicate without breaking what matters.

Soft Paws is for anyone who has ever needed a moment to slow down, reflect and choose clarity over impulse.
