In this episode of The Unfolding, presented by The Loveland Foundation, host Rachel Keener sits down with actress and podcaster Jasmin Savoy Brown for a deeply personal and open conversation. Jasmin shares navigating her Saturn Return while weaning off antidepressants, and balancing rest and productivity.

They dive into why she created Today in Gay, a podcast celebrating joyful queer stories—offering listeners a space where lightness and community coexist. From Pride Month's roots to finding the right therapist, Jasmin’s Black, queer artist perspective brings honesty, warmth, and depth.

This isn’t just a conversation about mental health or identity—it’s about showing up for yourself and others, especially when joy feels like a radical act. If you’ve been craving a real, grounded, and uplifting conversation, this one’s worth a listen.
