In this Radically Alive Women conversation, Julia Neumann speaks with AnnamĂĄria SĂźtĹ (âWolf Womanâ,) a Hungarian from Transylvania living independently in a small village, and her adult daughter Anna RĂŠka ĂtvĂśs, who is frequently traveling between Siberia and Hungary, and learning to feel âhomeâ within herself.Â
They discuss shifting the mother-daughter relationship from blame and constant arguing to listening, gratitude, and choosing to focus energy on oneâs own life.
AnnamĂĄria describes a turning point around age 35 when she stopped trying to change her mother from a rebel stance, made a gratitude list for what she received from her maternal line, and chose to change her focus on her own life and how she wanted to live. She also reflects âforwardâ to her relationship with Anna RĂŠka, acknowledging that she gave her all she could and that it is up to her daughter what she does with her life.
Anna RĂŠka shares her own realisations about boundaries, from having been an adaptive daughter, and seeing her mother as human, not an all-knowing goddess (âI donât need google, I have my momâ).Â
They link honoring mothers to respecting Mother Earth, embracing light/dark duality, and reconnecting to instincts, including practical reflection on using anger as life power, symbolised by âwolf womanâ teachings. They conclude by emphasising the importance of a womanâs intuition, and the role of fear and anger in that reconnection.Â
This episode is an ode to choice, presence and creation looking forward - not trying to fix the past, yet honouring the necessity of healing and acknowledging ancestors.
AnnamĂĄria and Anna RĂŠka offer Mother-Daughter retreats to heal the mother-daughter relationship. Contact either of them for more information.
The song in the background at the beginning is AnnamĂĄriaâs song âThe Strength of a Womanâ, in Hungarian. These are the lyrics in English:
â The strength of a womanâ
The strength of one woman moves the mountains awayÂ
The strength of two women ignites the firesÂ
The strength of there women opens the landsÂ
The strength of four women causes the springs forthÂ
The strength of five women calls the windsÂ
The strength of six women opens the worldsÂ
The strength of seven women opens the gates
The strength of eight women opens the soulsÂ
The strength of nine women opens the hearts
The strength of one woman gives birth to life.
