The Raw Mumcast

Oh, the stress that can come with the holidays and our (many times unrealistic) expectations of how much we need/should/must/have to do!

In this episode I share my to-do list managing practise that has helped me throughout the years and not just around the holidays. I also give a tip to each Human Design energy type to survive Xmas gatherings.

Some of the themes you will hear:

Understanding the pressure of holiday expectations

Creating and managing your holiday to-do list

Delegating tasks and asking for help

Prioritizing and enjoying the process

Managing pressure and expectations

Navigating social gatherings through the lens of Human Design

I trust that you will find something for yourself to take away and play with.

Lots of love,

Annamaria, xx

After giving birth to my son at home (in the middle of the living room), I had to make a hard decision - to transfer or not to transfer to the hospital. This episode is about that decision and all the emotions that flooded me - the guilt, the shame, the grief and the feeling of failure.

This is also the beginning of not only having my son Earth side, but also learning to cultivate more compassion for myself (which is still in progress).

In this episode you'll find themes like:

The Arrival of Leo

The Birth Experience & Decisions Made

The Beauty of the Placenta

The Hospital Transfer & Guilt

Reflections of Control & Grief

The Impact of Online Birth Narratives

Self Compassion & Healing

The Hospital Experience & New Beginning

It's an emotional story but even by recording it so much has shifted within. I trust that you will listen to it with your heart open and warm.

Lots of love,

Annamaria, xx

This episode is all about giving birth - from the moment I started to feel sensations, through the waves, the pain, the fears, the highs and lows to the point of my baby arriving Earth side. 

Going through labour and giving birth to my son and to myself as a mother has been the most intense experience of my life so far.
Birth asked all of me and more.
It got me onto my knees, broke me into half and when I thought there’s no deeper, there’s no further it cracked me open in places to find out that there was yet another path to explore.

It showed me my insecurities, my Good girl stories and my biggest fears.
It also showed me my power, my strength and how incredibly wise my body is. I mean beyond comprehension.

This is my story in its rawness, in its primal simplicity, and in its ability to connect dimensions and worlds together that are invisible to the naked eye.

Please rate, review and share my podcast so that we can normalise motherhood together and empower each other to feel good enough - in motherhood and beyond.

Love,

Annamaria, xx

Welcome to The Raw Mumcast, the show about the wins and f*ckeries of motherhood and mothering with a dash of Human Design and a sprinkle of shadow work. Let's normalise motherhood, ditch the mum guilt and celebrate being good enough - in motherhood and beyond.

I'm your host, Annamaria Papayova, and in this episode I'm sharing with you my vision for this show.

The idea of this podcast came to me in a middle of a sleepless night as I was rocking my baby back to sleep while crying my heart out. It took me more than a year to get from that idea to this point of launching the show, and I am super excited to embark on this journey.

I'm inviting you to join me every other Thursday for some raw, messy, funny and honest conversations.

Lots of love to you,

Annamaria, xx
