A RestlessUrban Marketplace Pick
Robyn Moreno looked like she had it all together. Great career. Beautiful family. A life that seemed full from the outside. But behind the images and the pace she was overwhelmed and burnt out. A midlife unraveling pushed her to slow down and begin a journey she could not ignore.
To reconnect with herself she turned to the medicine and stories of her Mexican grandmothers and the ancient Mexica calendar. Over 260 days she explored her family history, learned about sustos or soul losses, and discovered ser, the true essence within each of us. She reconnected with relatives, uncovered the story of her great grandmother who was a curandera, cooked with a tough but loving chef, found peace in hiking, and eventually traveled into the jungle of Belize where real healing began.
Get Rooted is a moving story about looking back to move forward. It speaks to anyone in midlife who feels stretched thin or ready to rediscover who they are beneath all the roles and expectations.
Why we recommend it
A powerful and relatable guide for anyone seeking clarity, healing or personal renewal. A meaningful companion for readers embracing midlife as a time of growth.
