    Shooting the Sh*t (But Make It Thoughtful) with Just Us Today | S2 Ep6

    In this episode of Unscripted Curiosity, it’s just Jenn and Scott catching up—wandering (intentionally) through protein drinks, teaching reflections, writing practices, and the strange brilliance of the human mind. Jenn shares the bittersweet close of a recent teaching experience and reflects on her shift toward more experiential, embodied ways of learning—both in the classroom and in her clinical work. Scott brings his steady curiosity to everything from smoothie logistics to journaling routines, offering a grounded perspective on writing, breathwork, and the value of doing things imperfectly but consistently. Together, they explore the unconscious mind, the ways we catastrophize, and how simple practices like writing, breathing, and paying attention can gently shift how we relate to ourselves. Along the way, there are detours into cooking shows, upcoming adventures, book recommendations, and a possible (unconfirmed) river otter sighting in Toronto. It’s thoughtful, a little rambling, and exactly what it sounds like when two curious humans give themselves space to think out loud. PSA: At points Jenn’s mic seems to briefly transcend this dimension—apologies to your ears (and nervous system) if it sounds like she’s yelling into the void.  Connect with Jenn & Scott: https://twistedoakyogaandwellness.offeringtree.com https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1262404 Email us at unscriptedcuriosity@gmail.com We'd love to hear from you!

    When Your Practice Evolves (and You Let It) with Jill Gaumont | S2 Ep5

    In this episode of Unscripted Curiosity, Jenn and Scott sit down with Jill Gaumont, founder of Beyoutifully Aligned, for a grounded and quietly inspiring conversation about movement, aging, and evolving with intention. Jill shares her non-linear path—from nursing to accounting to yoga—and how her teaching has grown alongside her own body and life experience. What began as a traditional yoga practice has expanded into a more integrated approach that includes strength training, accessibility, and real-life functionality—especially for women navigating aging bodies and shifting capacities. Together, they explore what it means to listen to your body over time, adapt when something no longer serves, and build a movement practice that actually supports your life. Jill also offers a refreshingly simple take on nervous system regulation—not as something we force, but something we cultivate through the way we live, move, and structure our days. With reflections on retirement, grandparenthood, and the quiet power of consistency over perfection, this conversation is a gentle reminder that strength, resilience, and curiosity don’t have an age limit—they just keep evolving.

    Yoga and Mobility That Your Body Loves and Living Authentically with Brea Johnson | S2 Ep 4

    In this episode of Unscripted Curiosity, Jenn and Scott sit down with Brea Johnson, founder of Heart + Bones Yoga, for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about movement, creativity, and trusting your own path. Brea shares her journey from early yoga teacher to building an online platform rooted in functional movement and anatomical integrity. What began as a personal curiosity evolved into a bold shift away from traditional yoga norms—one that invited both resistance and deep alignment with her values.  Together, they explore what it means to take risks in your work and life, especially when those choices don’t follow the expected path. Brea reflects on the balance between intuition and practicality, how she’s learned to pace herself after seasons of overextension, and the importance of creating space for creativity beyond business—through painting, astrology, and retreat experiences. This conversation weaves together themes of authenticity, evolution, and staying grounded in what feels true, even when it means outgrowing what once fit. It’s an invitation to move—physically and metaphorically—in ways that support longevity, curiosity, and a life that feels like your own.

    Lift Heavy, Live Light: A Conversation with Kathryn Bruni-Young | S2 Ep 3

    In this episode of Unscripted Curiosity, Jenn and Scott sit down with Kathryn Bruni-Young for a grounded and expansive conversation about strength, simplicity, and listening to your nervous system. Kathryn shares her transition from a decade of teaching yoga in Toronto to building a strength-focused studio in rural Ontario. What began as a curiosity about powerlifting evolved into a complete reimagining of her work—shifting from traditional yoga instruction to helping people build real, measurable strength. Along the way, she reflects on the surprising calm she found in small-town life, the importance of balancing energy (not just time), and how overbooking can quietly erode joy. Together, they explore what it means to challenge the body in ways that build resilience rather than depletion, especially for folks navigating aging, peri/menopause, and cultural narratives about limitation. Kathryn speaks candidly about the power of lifting heavy, the nervous system benefits of controlled stress, and why it’s never too late to start. This conversation is part personal evolution, part fitness philosophy, and entirely an invitation to rethink what strength—physical and otherwise—can look like at all seasons of life.

    Urgent but Not Important: A Crisis Negotiator and a Curious Therapist Walk Into a Podcast | S2 Ep 2

    In this episode of Unscripted Curiosity, Jenn and Scott catch up over a tightly scheduled, military-style timeline—reflecting on urgency, boundaries, and the very human tendency to overcommit. Jenn shares how she’s been saying yes to too many exciting opportunities, and Scott offers a simple task-calibrating tool (hint: no sevens allowed). Together, they explore what it means to prioritize well-being, resist hustle culture, and stay grounded amid tight timelines and shifting responsibilities. The conversation meanders, in true Unscripted fashion, into musings on social media boundaries, American grief, trauma-informed crisis work, and a delightful sidebar on the resilience of red squirrels (yes, really). From bridge negotiations to squirrel tunnels, this episode is a cozy blend of reflection, humour, and a new year busyness exhale.

    Courageous AF: Theodore Ambie‑Barango on Faith, Curiosity, Doubt and Becoming | S2 Ep1

    In the Season 2 opener of Unscripted Curiosity, Jenn and Scott are joined by the thoughtful, funny, and deeply reflective Theodore Ambie‑Barango for a conversation about courage, curiosity, and the long road of questioning what we were taught to believe. Theodore shares his journey from growing up in a deeply religious home in Nigeria to moving to Canada for university, building a career in tech, and eventually writing his book Lost in Scripture—a vulnerable exploration of faith, doubt, and deconstruction. He speaks openly about the tension between honoring where we come from and having the courage to think for ourselves, especially when education, lived experience, and curiosity start asking new questions. Together, they talk about how doubt often begins quietly, how learning to hold multiple perspectives can deepen empathy, and why understanding the “why” behind our beliefs (and each other) matters so much—whether in families, relationships, or across cultures. Along the way, they touch on music, writing as a healing practice, therapy, and the teachers and mentors who shape us in lasting ways. This conversation is an invitation to stay curious, stay compassionate, and be brave enough to grow—even when it’s uncomfortable.

    Season One Reflections: On Rest, Routines, and Red Squirrels with Scott & Jenn | S1 E16

    In this final episode of 2025, Jenn and Scott cozy up for a reflective (and squirrel-adjacent) conversation to close out Season One of Unscripted Curiosity. They look back on a year of podcasting—16 episodes filled with real talk, remarkable guests, and a growing comfort with doing things imperfectly. Jenn shares how the podcast helped her loosen the grip of perfectionism, while Scott reflects on finding freedom in unscripted dialogue and the joy of connecting with curious minds. They talk about what it’s meant to prioritize rest, set boundaries, and let authenticity lead the way—even when it means canceling an episode or mixing up the start time due to time zone differences. From wellness ruts to retirement pacing, journaling goals to gym routines, the conversation moves through work, identity, and what it means to choose a life that feels like your own. Also mentioned: red squirrels, paper calendars, and starting a journaling group in 2026—email us if your curious about joining the group (or want to know more about squirrels or how things were scheduled before Google calendar).

    Negotiating with Toddlers and Other Emotional High-Stakes Moments: A Conversation with Chelsea Elmquist | S1 E15

    In this episode of Unscripted Curiosity, Jenn and Scott are joined by friend of the pod Chelsea Elmquist for a grounded, thoughtful, and often funny conversation about career pivots, parenting, and the power of presence. Chelsea shares her journey from policing and crisis negotiation to pursuing a Master’s in Counselling Psychology—while raising two kids and rethinking what self-care actually looks like. Together, the trio explore the transferable skills that come from high-stress jobs, including active listening, empathy, and learning how to set boundaries without burning out. They touch on the evolving nature of self-care, how strength training supports mental and physical health, and why walking mindfully (sometimes with snacks) might be more healing than sprinting through the hard stuff. This conversation is a mix of wisdom, humour, and real talk about navigating transitions with intention, whether you’re in a negotiation room or making dinner for toddlers.
