After being screamed at on a Medellín sidewalk, Mafe realized her silence had cost her dignity—and a year’s worth of therapy bills. This episode is a firestarter for anyone who’s ever been told they’re too much.

She opens up about the emotional scam that cracked her open, and the slow, intentional journey back to confidence. Spoiler: silence isn’t peace—it’s self-betrayal. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to raise your voice, take up space, and stop shrinking… this is it.

⚡ Mentioned in this episode:

• How to turn painful experiences into war cries (and reclaim your power)
• The high cost of silence—and why it’s never worth the price
• Tactical ways to weaponize your voice and unlearn the “good girl” conditioning
• Why walking away is always a flex—and your first step to freedom
