About Ana
A quiet brain,
an aligned heart.
Hi - I’m Ana. I’m so glad your curiosity brought you here.
I’m a Cuban, Middle Eastern, Jewish woman in my mid-50s. Which means: I laugh loudly, I give full-body hugs, I show love by overfeeding people, and I grew up thinking that spirited debate was just everyday conversation.
I’m married to Ken Blackman, a remarkable man I adore, who teases and annoys me as his favorite form of flirting. We share our home with Joey, a rescue pup who also loves to tease and annoy us, though in his case, it’s just puppy mischief. ;-)
Today, my life feels deeply blessed. But it wasn’t always this way.
I’ve lived through trauma that shattered me:
-
Sexual abuse starting at age 5
-
Growing up in a violent, narcissistic household
-
The brutal, gangland-style murders of my father and brother
-
Years of depression, suicidal thoughts, and living out of my car
And still, I chose to fight for myself.
I left home at 21 to follow my dream of being a Broadway actress — and I made it. But behind the curtain, I was in pieces.
It’s taken more than 30 years of deep work, relentless commitment, and learning to meet every broken place inside me with compassion to become the solid, whole woman I am now.
That’s why I do what I do.
I’m a Women’s Rightness Expert, which means I guide women back to the unshakable freedom of being fully themselves: a quiet mind, a light heart, your unapologetic truth.
Rightness isn’t perfection. It’s the cultivated power of a woman who’s no longer at war with herself. Because in a world that tells women we are both too much and not enough, being unapologetically ourselves is not self-indulgence. It’s a revolution.
I’ve spoken to audiences across the country and coached women from rock stars to CEOs to homemakers on the freedom that comes from authentic rightness. My work has been featured in NPR, The NY Post, People Magazine, Shout Out LA, and The Moth.
If you’re ready to stop contorting yourself into what the world says you should be, and start becoming solidly, radiantly yourself, I’d love to walk with you.
