Listen "Negotiating with Toddlers and Other Emotional High-Stakes Moments: A Conversation with Chelsea Elmquist"
Episode Synopsis
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.Connect with Jenn & Scott:https://twistedoakyogaandwellness.offeringtree.com https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1262404 Email us at [email protected] We'd love to hear from you!
