Presence Over Perfection with the Hosts of Unraveled, Aseanté Renee and LaToya Maria

In this episode of The Unfolding: Presented by The Loveland Foundation Podcast, host Rachel Keener sits down with Aseanté Renee and LaToya Maria—the hosts of Unraveled Season 2—for a heartfelt and grounded conversation about mental health, self-love, and community.They reflect on how Unraveled has evolved, bringing deeper honesty, vulnerability, and integration of personal experience. Together, they explore self-love as an ongoing practice rooted in grace, consistency, and gentleness, and discuss how self-care, self-worth, and self-maintenance are deeply connected.The conversation offers practical ways to stay present—like checking in with yourself through micro-awareness and intentional pauses—and reframes the inner critic as a voice shaped by past protection rather than failure. Conflict, they note, can be a guide to understanding boundaries and capacity.Throughout it all, joy remains a central theme: not something fleeting, but a steady practice and a form of resistance. Aseanté and LaToya remind listeners that healing and joy both begin with showing up authentically for yourself and your community.Listen in for a conversation that celebrates growth, grace, and the daily work of self-love.More about Unraveled Season 2:Unraveled, presented by The Loveland Foundation, is an enlightening YouTube series that decodes the language of therapy—making it approachable and relevant for everyone.In Season 2, hosts Aseanté Renee and LaToya Maria explore how our sense of self-worth shapes the way we connect, love, and build relationships.Presented by The Loveland Foundation, Unraveled breaks down therapy terms and mental health concepts to make healing language both accessible and empowering.New episodes drop every Friday this October.–The Unfolding: Presented by The Loveland Foundation podcast is an additional resource not only to the public but also to our therapy fund cohort members.
