What happens when you stop being quiet?
What happens when you finally stand up, say the truth out loud — and suddenly, you’re the villain?
In Episode 6, we dive deep into the emotional aftermath of standing up to a smear campaign. Because speaking up isn’t the end — it’s often the beginning of a new kind of survival.
This episode explores:
- What actually happens when you refuse to stay silent
- Why speaking up often leads to isolation — and clarity
- How to survive the fallout: the silence, the loss, the doubt
- How to find your people — the ones who hear your howl
- And how to turn that bravery into empowerment
If you’ve ever felt punished for telling the truth, this episode will remind you:
You’re not too much. You’re just the wrong size for the box they tried to keep you in. And when you’ve got the right wolves around you?
Standing up won’t break you — it’ll build you.
