Rooted in Reflection
A newsletter for inner child healing. I'm Cynthia, first-gen Latine therapist, author, and expert in epigenetics and Marianismo healing. Host of the Confetti All Around Podcast and founder of Rooted in Reflection, where I blend neuroscience with ancestral wisdom to transform generational patterns. I create soft spaces for epigenetic healing through nature, nostalgia, and connection.
🧳 Last call for saving on Enlightened Legacies retreat in Mexico (also I made you a whole video because apparently I can't help myself)
A Note from Cynthia Perez Rooted in Reflection WORK WITH ME FREE RESOURCES PODCAST THREADS Early bird for Enlightened Legacies ends Sunday → Hi, The $200 INNERCHILD discount code ends tonight at midnight. After that, the retreat goes to full price—$1,500 instead of $1,300. I'm not going to pretend this is some casual decision. We're living through some heavy times. The world feels like it's on fire in twelve different ways. And I'm asking you to get on a plane and come do inner child work in...
On grief, shadow work, and timelines
A Note from Cynthia Perez Rooted in Reflection WORK WITH ME RESOURCES PODCAST THREADS Early bird for Enlightened Legacies ends Sunday → I just released a new episode of Confetti All Around with Ellie Lee. As I'm writing this, the news feels heavy... I mean, when does it not anymore? My body has been humming for weeks. Maybe yours has too. We recorded this conversation because I needed someone to say out loud what I've been feeling. That 2026 is asking something different from us. That the old...

2025 really crashed out on us! Take note, 2026!
This season is finally coming to a close. It feels like this year is a rushed ending where the antagonists did not meet their fate, yet. It feels like we have to wait for the next book to see JUSTICE! I think of the people who are actively being oppressed, unjustly imprisoned, or separated from their family. It has always been finding the gifts in the shadows that pushes me through. While we are grieving really ugly systemic realities right now, we are also having people wake up a lot faster...

Fruits from a lineage of labor and love
"Self Love is the best love, I love me" Song by Brittani Williams, LCSW Self Love Summer Jam playlist Self Love Summer Jam MIXTAPE I remember being on my bike all summer as a kid. I would be gone from after lunch until it was dark. My bike was my getaway car and my friends were my stooges. We were adventurers, cast aways, street scientists and sometimes cast members on the 90's Nickelodeon tv show "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" in our own minds. Summer was always an invitation to love myself...
