In this episode of Unscripted Curiosity, Jenn and Scott open up about their very different approaches to planning and presence—Jenn’s love of preparation (thanks to her past in event planning and engineering) contrasts with Scott’s go-with-the-flow mindset shaped by years as a crisis negotiator. A missed appointment sparks a deeper reflection on anxiety, catastrophic thinking, and the inner voices we all wrestle with.
The conversation flows through topics like negativity bias, the tug-of-war between discipline and self-compassion in exercise, and the essential role of active listening—whether in therapy or crisis situations. Jenn shares candidly about becoming a therapist in her late forties, while Scott reflects on his own transition out of law enforcement and into wellness work for first responders.
Throughout, they explore what it means to stay grounded, stay human, and stay curious—even when life doesn’t go as planned. Plus, a peek at future guests and their hopes for what’s next on the podcast.
