“I don't have kids but I would like to have just one when God feels it's time. I actually didn't want a kid before. But as I matured, I really had to sit with myself and ask my soul if I truly wanted a child,” Maxene said.

“Because I certainly don't want to bring another soul into this world unconciously. I don't want to have kids just because everyone else is doing it,” she added.

The celebrity then said that she wanted to move at her own pace and so indicated that she will take time to learn everything about motherhood before having a child of her own.

“I choose to move at my own pace. So when I meditated on it, I realized that I would like a child for the sole purpose of passing on what I learned in my journey and also make the child feel the kind of love and energy that I offer. So that they can also pass it on to the future generations,” the celebrity continued in her answer.

She said that while she’s not a mother yet, she believes that there is no surefire formula when it comes to parenting and that one can read lots of books about it but there is really one thing that needs to be done.

“I may not have a child yet but what I believe is that there is no one formula for parenting. We can read all the books we want and study how to raise kids but if we don't do the inner work to heal, we will definitely have a hard time raising them,” Maxene said.

She then laid out her plan on how to go about it in case the time comes for her to have a child.

“What I would do is heal and work on my energy because kids don't follow what we say - they copy the way we behave. They absorb our energy,” she said.
