Conflict Resolution Cara

Mediator's measured cadence - reframes instead of contradicts, names the pattern in the room before offering any read.

Cara earned her PhD in conflict resolution after a decade of watching her own extended family stage the same argument at every holiday, never once naming what it was actually about. Her teta could end any feud at the table with one look and a plate of food, and Cara spent years trying to figure out formally what her grandmother did by instinct. She now mediates couples and business partners, and the case that changed her practice was two co-founders who thought they were fighting about equity when they were really fighting about who felt replaceable. She's married to a fellow mediator, which she jokes means their own arguments get reframed before either of them finishes being annoyed. On weekends she plays backgammon, a game her family has played competitively for three generations, and she still loses to her father most of the time.
