In this episode of the Spanish‑language podcast “Yo Pude, Tú Puedes,” hosts Margarita and Sofía interview journalist, author, and life‑coach Carlos Anaya. Anaya recounts his first experience of sexual abuse at age six in a kindergarten bathroom in San José, Colombia, where two older boys assaulted him. He then describes a seven‑year incestuous abuse by his uncle, detailing the psychological manipulation that kept him silent. Anaya explains his long therapeutic journey—over 20 years of therapy—using the metaphor of “peeling the onion” to uncover emotional wounds such as abandonment, rejection, and the pressure of the “American Dream” that forced him to hide the abuse. He introduces the “3 C’s” (I didn’t cause it, can’t cure it, can’t control it) and emphasizes that changing the narrative turns a victim into a survivor. The conversation covers forgiveness, confronting his uncle in Colombia, and the importance of not holding resentment for personal health. Anaya debunks myths linking sexual abuse to homosexuality, asserts that sexual orientation is innate, and discusses broader cultural taboos that silence men. He provides practical advice for parents on warning signs of child sexual abuse, stresses the need to listen to children, and calls for professional help. The interview also touches on his professional background—GLAAD award, work at Fox News Latino, and his spiritual business Cafecito Espiritual—and previews his upcoming book “Lo que callan los hombres,” which will address abuse, incesto, financial infidelity, bisexuality, and other topics. Throughout, the tone is conversational, empathetic, and empowering, aiming to break the silence surrounding male sexual abuse.
