In this episode of Unscripted Curiosity, Scott and Jenn sit down with Scott’s brother, Dan Jones—a former beat cop, current Chair of Justice Studies at NorQuest College, and someone who brings heart, grit, and wisdom to conversations about justice, trauma, and healing.

Dan shares the path that took him from being labeled and underestimated as a kid to earning a Master’s degree from Cambridge University, and building a career rooted in compassion, not just correction. He opens up about the emotional toll of policing, the importance of boundaries, and how he’s learning to stay regulated in a world that often isn’t. From his deep respect for Indigenous healing practices to the everyday rituals—like barefoot walks and feeding magpies—that help him feel human, Dan invites us into a conversation about vulnerability, resilience, and finding fulfillment in unexpected places.

This episode is full of laughter, honesty, and reflections on brotherhood, burnout, and why men’s mental health deserves more space. It’s a conversation about doing the work—and staying curious while you do.

In this episode of Unscripted Curiosity, we sit down with Caroline Cheng, a mental health educator with the RCMP, whose journey has taken her from science labs to forensics to the front lines of mental wellness in law enforcement. Caroline shares stories of growing up in an immigrant family shaped by academic pressure and high achievement, how she’s learning to quiet her inner critic, and why she believes curiosity and community are central to healing.

We talk about the shift from independence to interdependence, how perfectionism and cultural values can shape our mental health narratives, and the power of crying, cold plunges, and aerial circus arts as regulation tools. Caroline also reflects on integrating wellness into first responder culture, what she’s still unlearning, and the big, open-ended questions guiding her life right now.

Expect laughter, real talk, and an inspiring reminder that growth is rarely linear—and always better when shared.

In this heartfelt episode of Unscripted Curiosity, it’s Jenn’s turn in the hot seat as she opens up about her 4 decade journey through therapy, healing, and reconnection with herself. With Scott asking thoughtful, grounding questions (and bringing a few good laughs), Jenn shares the layered path that’s led her from rhythmic gymnastics and disordered eating to becoming a trauma-informed therapist with a deep respect for body-based healing.

She reflects on how traditional talk therapy often left her feeling more overwhelmed than supported, and how discovering somatic practices, trauma-informed yoga and movement, and Indigenous healing helped her finally start to come home to herself. From early sports psychology to land-based ceremony, Jenn shares candid moments of struggle, insight, and self-compassion—reminding us that healing is rarely linear, and always personal.

Scott also brings his usual warmth and curiosity, opening the conversation with stories from a recent retreat and time spent caddying for his son. The episode closes with a grounded reflection on the ongoing nature of resilience, the value of vulnerability, and how small daily choices can help us meet ourselves with more grace.
