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.

How This Work Is Often Experienced

  • Clients often describe a greater sense of steadiness and clarity as they take more time to think through decisions and consider their options carefully.

  • Clients frequently note that our conversations help them slow their thinking, examine assumptions, and approach decisions with greater deliberation.

  • Some clients report feeling less urgency around decisions after engaging in this work, allowing for a calmer and more measured approach to next steps.

THE FACTS

  • The ability to think clearly, take responsibility for my decisions, and act without unnecessary noise.

  • Remaining calm, deliberate, and precise when the stakes are high.

  • Thoughtful adults who value clarity, accountability, and sound decision-making during periods of change.

  • Quiet coastal places that encourage reflection and perspective.

  • A well-made meal with simple ingredients — preferably shared, never rushed.

  • Familiar music from the 1990s — steady, uncomplicated, and grounding.

HERE’S WHAT I LIVE BY

01

Judgment

Clear thinking matters most when decisions feel personal.

02

ALIGNMENT

Decisions are easier when they reflect values, not pressure.

03

EASE

Simplicity often comes from seeing a situation clearly — not forcing an outcome.
