Private Perspective
A quiet space for clearer thinking during complex life transitions.
I’m Vana Cristina.
I work at the intersection of clarity, judgment, and life transitions.
I’m Vana Cristina. My work centers on clarity during periods of transition — particularly moments when life feels unsettled and decisions feel harder to trust.
Over time, I’ve come to understand that uncertainty often isn’t a lack of information, but a lack of perspective. When circumstances shift — through divorce, relationship change, or other significant life transitions — people can feel pressured to move quickly, decide prematurely, or seek certainty where none yet exists.
This space exists to slow that process down.
The perspective work I offer is quiet, structured, and deliberately limited in scope. It is not designed to produce outcomes or direct change, but to support clearer thinking — helping surface assumptions, examine priorities, and create room for more considered judgment.
I approach this work with discretion and restraint. There are no formulas, programs, or prescribed paths forward. Each conversation is shaped by the complexity of the moment itself.
This work exists independently and alongside my writing and professional life. It is meant to complement — not replace — other forms of support or counsel people may already have in place.
Availability is limited, and engagements are selective by design.
