What are you trying not to see? What do you refuse to know? What do you know that you try not to think about?

1. We should talk about blood more. This WhyDev post just reminded me that the taboo on discussing menstruation is not merely silly and annoying; it actively harms girls. Some girls think that menstrual pain was a sign that they were […]

Art history is brave

 |  No Comments

Seriously, it is. The People of Color in European Art History blog is fighting racism using its curator’s skills – the ability to discuss art history and find historical artwork for display. It is almost single-handedly disproving the popular idea that […]

What Clients Are Saying

“Alanna’s direct yet humane approach comforted me. Her knowledge helped me understand my behavior. Her concrete advice helped me develop actionable steps towards managing my emotions and becoming more assertive.”

“I approached Alanna to help me make a decision at a major professional crossroads. I was ready to leave the organization where I had spent all of my public health career, but I wasn’t completely sure what I wanted to do next, or frankly even how to make that decision…Alanna’s direct yet kind approach helped me discard some of my own deeply entrenched ideas about what the “right” move for me would be, and on a more tactical level helped me quickly eliminate some options that just wouldn’t be a right fit.

My sessions with her helped give me both the clarity to pursue a new professional opportunity, as well as some concrete tools to help me manage the difficulties I faced as I wrapped up my former role.”
