About Maxine
Maxine Ebanks is the founder of Royal Eagle MoMtality, a motivational brand dedicated to empowering mothers and caregivers through faith, wellness, self-care, and intentional living. A clinical laboratory technologist by training, wife, mother of two, caregiver, entrepreneur, and author, she has built her life around serving and uplifting others. Her experiences balancing her medical career, motherhood, and caring for her mother during her health battles inspired her to create a platform that reminds women they can be resilient, confident, graceful, and nurturing while still prioritizing themselves. Through The Royal Eagle Brand, Maxine provides faith-based resources designed to help busy mothers create balance in their daily lives. Her work includes The Royal Eagle Mom Journal, a faith-filled life planner and prayer journal for Christian mothers, as well as motivational merchandise and wellness initiatives. Drawing inspiration from her Caribbean heritage and the strong women in her family, she developed the 4Ws framework—Wake Early, Water, Workout, and Worship—to encourage mothers to intentionally care for their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. She also offers a family-friendly workshop that combines movement using the SocaCize culture, and community. Maxine's entrepreneurial philosophy is rooted in faith, resilience, and confidence. She encourages aspiring mompreneurs and women with motivational ideas not to dismiss themselves or their concepts as unoriginal, emphasizing that a unique voice and personal approach can resonate deeply with the right audience. By continuing her work in the medical laboratory field while growing Royal Eagle MoMtality, Maxine demonstrates the power of pursuing purpose while honoring family responsibilities. Through her brand and personal example, she seeks to inspire women to embrace their God-given identity, prioritize their well-being, and soar confidently through every season of motherhood.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Maxine
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to faith, persistence, grit, and optimism, inspired by the resilience of the remarkable women in my Caribbean family and Church Family. My mother taught me that true strength comes from scripture, perseverance, compassion, and purpose, and that investing in yourself empowers you to lead and positively impact others. My father thought me to be a trailblazer and to make my own path while leaving a legacy!
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve received is to let challenges strengthen me rather than define me. My mother taught me through her example that resilience is built one faithful step at a time, and that perseverance and service can inspire others.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don’t be afraid to believe in your ideas. Even if someone else is already doing something similar, your perspective and approach may be different. Have confidence in yourself, stay persistent, and don’t let self-doubt hold you back.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges for women today is losing their identity while balancing work, family, caregiving, and other responsibilities. I also see a growing opportunity through entrepreneurship, wellness, and faith-centered communities to empower women to prioritize themselves, embrace their worth, and define success on their own terms.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Faith, resilience, compassion, and self-worth are the values that guide me in both my work and personal life. I believe every woman deserves confidence, grace, and unconditional love. My own health journey also taught me the importance of wellness, balance, and intentional self-care. Today, I strive to inspire women to live with purpose, prioritize their well-being, and find hope and confidence in everyday life.
