Anna Mathur

[Basicbasic]

She is beyond repetitive. Churning out the same anxieties, spiels, cures, paragraphs again and again. If she genuinely wanted to improve maternal health she'd focus on improving maternity rights, conditions, healthcare, access to support.... anything. Instead she uses her Google cut and paste paragraphs about nice girls and rakes in the money. Completely disingenuous and an absolute boast.

Anna doing yoga this morning as she has the morning to herself. I work full-time and don't have that much time to myself never mind do a whole yoga sessions on a Wednesday morning. Yet she is overworked. The mind boggles

I’m genuinely amazed this is only the first thread!

Anna Mathur#2: privileged life, but what a moaning wife; burnt out from doing pretty much nowt.

 

[Londoner]

More pictures of her messy kitchen with some philosophical drivel of love your self. She is totally in control but figured unmumsymum formula works for masses. It is getting so boring now. I have only seen it as a friend sent a message along the lines, of you most follow this lady. Sure.

 

[Icantbelievemyeyes]

Im going to put it in black and white and hope that she reads this.
Anna, you are struggling with parenthood (despite your massive massive position of privilege) because quite frankly you are addicted to your phone and yourself. Put it down, focus on the life infront of you, and not the admiration of others. Stop trying to be something your not.

Absolutely! If she spent half as much time with her children as she did talkig to her phone she would have a much more fulfilled life. Blink and you miss it

So the nanny is live in, according to her stories tonight?! No wonder she has time for baths and yoga!!

wow! How relatable Anna - makes her ridiculous breakdowns seem even more disingenuous

 

[Slip slip knit]

I just find her content so contrived, she’s just rehashed the pink crisps thing after saying it a few months ago. And all of a sudden her bedroom is a mess after it’s been spotless for years? Just as her book comes out to show how relatable she is? Ok Anna.

 

[JoeBloggs]

I do believe she is cashing in on the hopeless monther, struggling trend. She clearly has a solid marriage with a husband who has a good job. They live in a very nice house in a nice area. Not exactly hard done by!

 

[Likeylikey]

For god's sake! Why is she shouting??

Why is she always so angry! I think she needs therapy

 

[Thecatthatgotthesourcream]

Yeah great idea Anna, keep that greedy brain fizzing away. If you're that desperate for every mum to have a copy email the e-book to the maternity wards and tell them they can email it out to anyone wanting it. I mean it costs you nothing to email the e-book across. Why would you need £100k funding for that??!! How dare you assume every mum wants it needs it. We are not one big homogenous money making mass. Anna is trying to take over bounty with the manipulation and forceful marketing.

Also why would the nhs, who can't sufficiently afford midwives and drs to keep wards fully open, give you - a charlatan, obscenely rich housewife - £100k for an ebook?

Fyi, I'm a mum and it's a firm NO from me for the book. Take it and stick it.

She is clueless , the NHS have services to support people that need it , they are not going to waste money on Annas book, who does she think she - every mum should have her book and it would save money FFS! For someone who claims she has no self worth she bloody loves herself ! She needs to stop! I can't actually believe she suggested this ! It's a kick in the teeth to those who do work in the NHS in perinatal teams or mental health teams who get paid about £20 an hour in comparison to Annas £450, they do real work and sit with people and their distress are care for them , not just repeat quotes or tell them how bad life had been for them like Anna does ! Stick to your coaching love ! The NHS won't buy into a book written by a coach when they have clinical psychologists working for them with years and much experience. How fricking offensive to the NHS can you be !! And get your spelling right - funding not finding !! Omg why do you need funding , and by funding you mean payment for you, you don't need funding to email your book out! Preying on the vulnerable again! Vile unethical self obsessed women !

I see. This makes a lot of sense - she’s rebranded herself as a celebrity coach for the extremely well off. I had a look on her website and she says she works in a solution focussed way and that her coaching doesn’t include working with trauma. Which is strange because that’s essentially the whole point of training as a psychotherapist. But at least she’s recognised how unethical it is for her to work with vulnerable people. I wonder if this followed a meeting with BACP after a complaint or two?

I can’t imagine ever needing to pay hundreds of pounds for someone to tell me what to do, I might as well ask my mum

I think she is basically selling herself at this stage, if you want to listen to me pay £450

Anna's husband doesn't work away. He lives at home and commutes to London everyday and back. It's called commuting for work not working away. Am I missing something? Also the fact that he works full-time in London affords you this lifestyle and million pound house Anna and allows you to work flexible.

I hate when people make out to be so sad that their partners are working away and they are holding the fort at home... The fact that your partner works full-time while you chose your hours of work means that he or she is bringing more money to the table... It's got nothing to do with genders or differences in man and woman's lives like Anna tried to make out.

If you are so bothered then swap with your partner. You go and commute to London everyday and he stays at home with kids and works flexible hours. Plenty of couples have reversed roles these days or woman works and man is a stay at home parent. I don't get why you have to be so resentful to the other parent. If you are so bothered and upset by your situation then change it! No point complaining and Instagram about it.

My partner and I both work full-time. I commute for work and he works in Hometown and we are happy with our arrangement.

 

[Rosie878]

Yes she’s the last person I’d want to take advice from on how to handle my emotions. It’s almost as if she’s embarrassed by how visually pleasing her life is: she’s attractive, wealthy, nice house, cute kids so she’s trying to make up for it somehow by telling everyone how awful she feels all the time. But it doesn’t make sense when she is selling products on how to improve your mental health. If she had no qualifications and was just an insta big sister type figure she’d still be annoying but the approach would make more sense.

Also, as a woman with professional qualifications and expertise, selling yourself via advertising your own shortcomings all the time doesn’t feel very empowered and it’s not setting a great example.

 

[NellieMo]

I think she’s only moaning about Tarun as a ‘oh look another one of my normal, relatable struggles’

Definitely. She leads a very privileged life, husband who earns big money in the city, three kids, plenty of childcare, supportive parents and in-laws, a cleaner, million pound house in Surrey, flexible career, foreign holidays and trips away every year. She might be relatable to middle class housewives but not really to the average person.

 

[Lilinpops83]

I find the subtle (deliberate) ‘daddy issue’ referencing an interesting one. She may well give us more glimpses into this over time, but in half admissions and half truths. Whatever she chooses to reveal, it will reflect well on her It certainly will not dim the beautiful aesthetic of her brand.

Anyone who has to post endless pictures of their material possessions is a social climber. I suspect this is where much of her insecurity comes from. Note her accent changes on a daily basis.

But if she could be honest about who she really truly is, it might be more endearing. Or dull? Who knows.

 

[Flyingbaby]

I wish I could take the afternoon off from scamming vulnerable people on Instagram and swan around shopping and having lunch and showing off everything I had purchased

 

[Linkylu]

I definitely wouldn’t be taking advice from her, I work in mental health and no one would be doing what she does, whinging, moaning trying to make themselves look relatable with mess etc to detract from the help and advantages she has. Not saying people with privilege don’t struggle. She’s just disingenuous, all about cashing in from those cards and her book. Also used to think it was a bit weird filming herself coming out of the shower or in bed and then seeing clients, not sure I’d want to do that, but each to their own. My husband would be really unhappy too if I moaned like that about him. She just comes across like an entitled brat.

 

[Basicbasic]

Thing is she makes money from SELF- HELP strategies, writing and musings. How to be better, feel better, work better, parent better, deal with anxiety better.... keeping her own betterment strategies very very well hidden - nannies, cleaners and PAs.

If she was honest she'd say that having a nanny, cleaner and pa mean she is better able to cope with life and it's challenges. But if she was this honest she wouldn't be able to sell her courses and get all those freebies.

 

[Italy2]

I think that's Anna down to a T. She is insufferable and obsessed with herself. I think she has a narcissistic personality disorder as the only child/daughter and she never mentions her brother.w

 

[Dina2Dina]

I went through a stage when I first followed her of not really enjoying her so I unfollowed. Then I started to follow again and really enjoyed her content. I guess before her book really. Now I skip. It's a shame because I actually made a comment about her and how much I liked her. She also replied to me a few times. I suffer from anxiety, made worse post partum and could relate. It's a shame but I just dont believe everything she says anymore.
