She works with senior leaders at justice-rooted organizations -- especially queer folks and women of color -- helping them use conflict as diagnostic information about power, culture, and what needs to change. She came to this work after a decade inside public health, crisis response, and community-based care, where she kept noticing the same pattern: the most persistent strategy problems were almost always relational ones, rooted in power, story, and unaddressed conflict. She is also the writer and host of Intimate Practice, an ongoing research project on tending, thresholding, and what it means to move through transition.Here are some of the things Shivani and I discuss:Shivani’s background as a facilitator in public health focused on birth, sex, and deathWhy learning to disagree better is key to building the world we deserveAccountability as an invitation into deeper relationship, not moral judgmentHow systemic dimensions of privilege and oppression live in our intimate interactionsClaiming agency and making meaningful change in this political momentResources & Links:Shivani’s websiteCody Cook-Parrott’s class, Quilt in a WeekendShivani’s essay, How Conflict Becomes a Design InputSign up for Shivani's newsletter, Intimate PracticeSUPPORT FOR CREATIVE THINKERS⭐ Productivity Coaching with Dr. Kate Henry💌 Sign up for Dr. Kate's free newsletter📚 Download Dr. Kate's free Sustainable Productivity PlannerPodcast editing and support by Softer Sounds Studio.Theme song by Melissa Kaitlyn Carter.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ckd6diQYB3N3rCUx2hR2jNynveiq3YqtMeSjppbiK-k/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hYzU5/YWU0N2JiOTI4NDZm/ODdmNGY5Y2VjMGVl/YTZmZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
