In this episode, I talk to Giovanna Leon, a Venezuelan photographer based in Switzerland. I asked her to come on this podcast because, for one, she’s become a friend of mine over the years, but also, she’s really one of the most experienced 20-somethings I know—you’ll see.

Giovanna shares her story of what it was like to be kicked out of Switzerland, falling into depression as a result, and giving her all to stay in a country that didn’t want her. We talk about therapy and different ways to cope, how we distract ourselves through eating, phone and social media addiction, or porn, and what strategies we use to manage emotions in a better way.

We won’t go too deep into these subjects, but if this is triggering for you, be careful.

Shieri Saga and I talk about running out of money, what we look for in a partner and the importance of initiative, loving yourself and spending time alone, online dating red flags and crazy experiences, long-distance relationships and getting into relationships just to avoid being alone, as well as Shieri's newfound love for female friendships. Enjoy!

Gosia and I talk about making friends and dealing with hate on social media, the beauty of being single and the pressure that comes with it, long-distance relationships, being compatible, mixing romantic and professional relationships, rebound relationships, what real friendship is about, being rich, anxiety and overthinking, having 10 babies, setting up boundaries with parents, and, of course, our plans for the future. Enjoy!
