Welcome to Untangle. I'm Patricia Carpice. In this episode, we sit down with young author and entrepreneur Giovanna Sylvester to discuss her life and her book, Confused Girl. Find your peace in the chaos. I loved her energy and courage and her passion for the work

she's doing now with inspirational active wear. She shares how her most intensely sad

moments have led her on this transformative journey from depression to self-discovery and

to doing the work that she now loves and that continues to

inspire her every single day. Her initial confusion, which she had in her 20s, hence the name of her

book, Confused Girl, stemmed from feeling stuck, un, and lost in the turbulence of which she describes

as the rush of societal expectations in this modern world. We all know about those.

Giovanna opens up about the pivotal moments that led her to embrace confusion as a virtue,

the power of vulnerability,

and the importance of staying curious about life and oneself.

In this conversation, we delve into her inspiring story of resilience, creativity, and the pursuit of authenticity.

in their late 20s, around late 20s, 30, 31. They call that Saturn returns. I heard that Saturn returns.

I know there's something about Saturn every seven years, but I didn't know it was particular to the late 20s. Yeah, and this is like every 27 years. So they call it Saturn returns. And it's let's say you're in a career and then you decide that this isn't working for you. You want to do something else. Or life hasn't gone the way you wanted to until you fall into
