In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam gets real about why speaking up can feel so hard, even when you know you have something important to say.

She unpacks the idea of the visibility wound of Calladita Culture, explaining how it goes way deeper than just lacking confidence. From family messages like "calladita te ves más bonita" to the pressures of code-switching and dealing with accents, Pam highlights how generations of cultural conditioning shape our reactions when all eyes are on us.

She shares personal stories, a client example, and research to show it’s not you—it’s your nervous system protecting you based on old survival instincts. If you’ve ever frozen up in a meeting or felt extra pressure as the only Latina in the room, this episode is for you.
