EP361 Repairing Relationships Via Conflict Resolution, with Jill Nagle of Mendful.world
Most disputes we cover end up in front of a mediator or a judge. But the vast majority of everyday conflict — with a coworker, a neighbor, a family member — never reaches a professional at all. On this episode I sat down with Jill Nagle, Founder & CEO of Mendful, the first platform offering human-led conflict resolution on demand — help in minutes or hours, not days.
Watch the full conversation:
About Jill & Mendful
Jill braids two decades in tech (UX/content strategy) with 20+ years in Nonviolent Communication and somatic counseling. She previously founded Evolutionary Workplace and the 22nd Century Leaders program, created the “Wisdom of the Body” approach, and is a published author and patented inventor. Mendful’s mission is to “normalize care and repair,” and she’s training a global cohort of Mendful Conflict Resolution coaches, with the next training starting October 16.
What we covered
- Two worlds, one platform — how Jill’s UX career and decades of Nonviolent Communication braided into Mendful.
- Mendful in a nutshell — “call a coach like a ride-share,” available in minutes; work solo or with the other party.
- Human-led, by design — where the AI (“Mendy,” via a Parivox partnership) helps, and why you can always bypass AI entirely.
- The real cost of conflict — “more than one in four adults is estranged from a family member,” and why immediacy matters.
- The method — Nonviolent Communication plus somatic (nervous-system) work.
- Training a global cohort — coaches across Brazil, Colombia, Nigeria, India, and Canada; the October 16 start; who makes a great coach.
- What’s next — the proof-of-concept rollout, and how to try it, apply to train, or invest.
“We always want to give people the option to bypass AI entirely. Many people don’t trust it — they want the human.” — Jill Nagle
