Boundaries, Burnout, and Other Adulting Adventures

In this episode of Unscripted Curiosity, Jenn and Scott return to their roots with an unscripted conversation that moves through themes of trauma, nervous system regulation, and the evolving nature of boundaries. They begin with a reflection on the Netflix film Night Always Comes, touching on housing insecurity, personal privilege, and the complexity of the language we use to describe lived experiences.

The conversation opens into a wider exploration of somatic therapy, mindfulness, and the ongoing work of self-regulation. Jenn shares insights from her clinical practice, including how she tailors her approach to each client’s needs, while Scott reflects on the importance of boundaries in high-stress work environments, drawing from his background in law enforcement.

Together, they consider the practices that keep them grounded—meditation, movement, time in nature—and the ways they’ve each learned to hold space for others without losing themselves in the process. What emerges is an honest and thoughtful dialogue about aging, capacity, and staying connected to what matters most.
