Hey, I’m Ann. I’m obsessed with interpersonal conflict.

Most people know me from my viral tweets on the subject:

When my nearly 10-year marriage ended, I couldn’t think about anything else. What started as a distraction turned into an extensive research project—exploring everything from attachment theory and parenting to business negotiation and the limitations of the human brain.

Now, a book and course are in the works. ✍️👩‍💻🎨✨🪩 (Subscribe to my email list at the bottom of this page for updates!)

I’m also a community builder.

I run Twitter challenges, in-person workshops, an unconference called The Love Symposium, and the SF Intellectuals discussion group. Here’s a video of me talking about SF Intellectuals:

In a previous life…

I was co-founder/CEO of Photofeeler. I started and ended a few other companies, did some angel investing, was a marketer and a dev. (Relationship tech is still an area of great interest for me.)

Read what I’m about.

💡 How to Be Understood – On the limits of language and the blinding power of fear

❤️‍🩹 The Paradox of Self-Esteem – How low self-esteem hinders relationships (but requires them to heal)

💙 Understanding Interpersonal Conflict – My distilled “theory of everything” vis-à-vis conflict and relational health

💧 Emotional Validation (My Vision) – A reflection on how I came to value emotional data and my hopes for us as a society
