May’s ACTIVA arrives today, a very special edition, dedicated to Mother’s Day. Mafalda Castro, on the cover, is preparing to become a mother for the first time, at the end of June. He is a boy! Pregnant with her first child, Mafalda Castro has an example in her mother: “I would love for my son to feel about me what I feel about my mother. I think it’s amazing to have that connection.”
The beginning was not easy, but presenter Mafalda Castro is finally experiencing a peaceful pregnancy. She confesses that bringing a girl into the world today would bring her more anxiety and that she will most likely be an obsessed mother. Wait and see!

Every month, ACTIVA gives a stage to women who inspire us and help us inspire those who read us. This edition is no different: the stories of mothers (and stepmothers!) that we bring you were handpicked by an editorial team of women accustomed to echoing feminine strength. The challenges and joys of motherhood without filters, so that we can live with our children without unrealistic expectations that only bring us guilt and intoxicate relationships.
Mafalda Castro was interviewed by Cíntia Sakellarides and photographed by Carlos Teixeira assisted by Tiago Mulhmann. With styling by Mafalda Mota Alvesmakeup by Joana Moreira and hair by Madalena Costa for Griffehairstyle.
