I really like her. She sent me an incredibly kind, thoughtful reply when I was struggling with a PTSD diagnosis, and I found her posts about intrusive thoughts genuinely helpful. She genuinely engages with her followers. I’m not mad on affiliate links, but they’re always properly labeled and I don’t feel like her feed is full of them.

Oh nooooo I love Anna Mathur! Although I do totally get why people would find her annoying. I’ve got a real soft spot for her for some reason.

Yea of course, someone puts up a counter narrative and it must be the person themselves 🙄 all I'll say is I've followed her since she was mamas scrapbook and she used to do regular live chats and answer questions, helped alot of folk. She kept getting asked the same questions so put some courses together and free blog posts etc. No one is forced to buy anything from her she gives alot of advice for free. I get that we all have our different opinions, I'm fine with that. I just dont see her in the same league as the good for nothing instamums flogging cheap tat, exposing their kids and begging for new sofs. I can agree to disagree and leave it at that.

I did used to really like Anna, but the book thing has pissed me off.

She curated a whole feed around being a down-to-earth, busy mum, running a house with three kids while her husband works away during the week. Relatable! I'm just like you! Blah blah blah.

Turns out the whole fucking time she was writing a book! She definitely didn't do that without massive amounts of behind the scenes help. Why couldn't she just be honest? I thought she was being real with us, when in truth she's been upstairs writing from 9-3 while the nanny was looking after the kids and whipping the hoover round. Not as relatable is it?

The way she announced it was like: 'oh I just knocked out a book in between cooking chicken nuggets and doing the night feeds'. It's a lie. And it's lies like that which make women feel inadequate.

'If she managed to write a book while single-handedly looking after three pre-schoolers during the week, why can't I? I can just about manage to blow dry my hair in the morning and remember which day to put the bins out. Why am I so crap? I feel a failure.'

Because it's bollocks.

We could all churn out 300 pages of mediocre mum-lit if we had six uninterrupted hours to ourselves every day.

Shes the best out there. Nothing like the rest of these twits on insta. I cant think of any way she could be offensive to anyone. I dont see how her posts are staged or contrived. She doesnt hide she has a nice house or nice things but she shows the bad stuff too. She does alot of good and speaks alot of sense to those who need to hear it.
Dont get this one tbh.
