😨 Why Am I So Afraid of Being ‘Cancelled’?

This week, César and I dive into one of my biggest fears—Cancel Culture. I explain in more detail why I (still) don’t use my face to promote this podcast and share my (hopefully) irrational anxiety about becoming the next person to be publicly shamed for an opinion I didn’t even realise was controversial.

In this episode, we discuss:

❌ What cancel culture actually is
💬 Why I’m nervous about expressing opinions online
📢 The pressure to not only think the ‘right’ thing but also say it loudly
📖 How past generations had more space to ‘learn’ without fear of social media backlash
🤔 Is shame always a bad thing, or can it serve a purpose?
