G,
What happens if you Object>Expand, then try again with stroked paths?

I think it has something to do with the Live corners function? When I scale
down and the corners thicken I get these little corner widgets? And if I
drag them around It changes the interior of the corner. But change the
sizing of the file and it reverts back to the image I shared originally. I
don't get it: it's just a stroke drawn with a brush... why does it treat
the corners oddly? Any help is appreciated Michelle.

Scale stroke and effects
Window > Transform > Check the scale stroke and effects
you can make it always active by getting in the preferences (CTRL+K) then check it there

Looks like you ran into the blob problem with the calligraphy brush.
Try and Object > Expand appearance before scaling it down.
