Hi, I’m Ana Carini Seiford.

For years, I built my life around others — through work, marriage, motherhood, and constant relocation. Eventually, it caught up with me. Burnout. Identity loss. Emotional disconnect. I needed a reset.

Everything shifted when I discovered the power of slow—not as a trend, but as a way of being. It gave me the space to rebuild my voice, my values, and the direction of my life.

Now, I help others do the same. If you’re ready to rebuild from the inside out, with intention, you’re in the right place.

You can find me elsewhere on LinkedIn, Substack, and Instagram.

How I’m Here to Support You

I believe in clarity over noise — and in one question that guides everything I do:

“How can we begin again?”

In other words, I explore ways to rebuild life and work with intention and explain them in a way that is easy to use and apply to daily life.

How to reconnect to self — through reflection, emotional clarity, and storytelling.
How to redefine success — by unlearning performative, rushed, or defined paths.
How to create from wisdom — turning lived experience into meaningful offerings.
How to work with freedom — building location-free, values-aligned businesses.
How to live slower — integrating slow travel, rest, and presence as tools.
How to choose consciously — in how you work, build, travel, and relate to the world.

Much of what I share is rooted in lived experience — my own, and that of the people I’ve had the privilege to walk beside.

My work blends slow living, life transitions, storytelling, emotional clarity, and conscious entrepreneurship. Through it, I offer grounded insights and practical ways to help you create meaningful change in how you live, work, and show up in the world.

How I Got Here

After years of adapting and trying to keep up, I discovered the power of slow. Not just in pace; but in mindset, in choice, and in how we shape our lives.

Slowness taught me to pause, pay attention, and value depth over speed. Clarity doesn’t come from constant motion. It comes from presence. And real success doesn’t need to be loud, fast, or polished to be meaningful.

I was inspired by those who championed slowness and rest as rebellion, but I wanted something more grounded. A slower life that still made space for ambition. One that honored global transitions, cultural differences, creative identity, motherhood, and the messy parts of life in motion, changes I was navigating myself — across countries, callings, and stages of life.

Because when you slow down enough to hear yourself again, everything begins to align — your values, your vision, your voice, your self.

That’s how I got here. And that’s how I hope to help you begin again, too.

About Me

I’ve reinvented myself more times than I can count .

I’m Brazilian by birth. Italian at heart. American by choice. Asian by happy fortune. Shaped by heritage, culture, motherhood, global moves and a career in creative direction for brands like Oracle, Four Seasons, and The Ritz-Carlton.

But somewhere along the way, I lost myself in the roles I played. Burnout. Identity loss. Emotional disconnect. So I did something radical: I paused.

In that pause, I asked deeper questions:

What do I really want now?
What does success mean to me?
And how do I rebuild now — slowly, honestly, on my own terms?

Writing was the answer. And that’s where Sojourn began.

What started as a Sunday letter is now a growing platform and private membership for soul-led solopreneurs in transition, like me—both across borders and from within.

Those rebuilding their voice, values, and work after decades of carrying lived experience quietly… now ready to build something that finally feels like them.

Here’s what I believe:

You don’t need to go faster. You need to go truer.
You can build something meaningful, without burning out.
The way you live and work should reflect who you are now.
And freedom means more when your work moves with you, wherever life takes you.

I write and teach from that place.
Slowly. Sustainably.
From wherever I am in the world.

If you’re navigating change — personally or professionally — you’re not alone.

You’re in the in-between. And that’s exactly where your Sojourn begins.

Let’s connect: You can find me on LinkedIn and Instagram.
