In this conversation, Cynthia Perez discusses the concept of marianismo and the importance of protecting one’s peace. She emphasizes the need for awareness, boundaries, and compassion for navigating our own inner peace. Cynthia shares personal stories and highlights the impact of marianismo on Latinas and women of color. She also explores the role of epigenetics and ancestral healing in understanding and addressing marianismo. Cynthia encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences and offers resources for further exploration.

This episode is from the free course provided at rootedinreflection.org from 2022-2023. Cynthia provided Continuing Education Courses for therapists and scholars on this topic. Since then Cynthia has led trainings and groups on detaching from Marianismo.
