Good book that has a lot of basic yet sensible things to say. It was a quick and easy read that was enjoyable.

This book was interesting with being both part memoir and part self-help. I found it to be decently educational, especially when it comes to the culture of the author. I learned plenty from this. I also learned about the struggles of the author and her family and this is where I found myself struggling through it. While there were many chapters that I flew through, there were also plenty of them that I struggled to read because they just didn’t hold my attention. Each chapter is followed by additional explanations into the cultural ideas introduced in those chapters and these were the parts I found absolutely unputdownable. I find healing practices to be fascinating and this book did not disappoint for that.

While I normally don’t rate memoirs, I’m going to rate this one since it’s also part self help. I went 4 stars because it feels right for the feelings this book left me with. While it wasn’t my favorite, it was still good.

I really enjoyed my time with this book. The author pretty much let us into her life for the time that she had set aside to reclaim herself and I appreciated that she let us in on it. Her openness, the research and history of her family was just what I needed.

Booksource: Netgalley in exchange for review.

A memoir by a woman who takes nine months to experience a traditional Mexica spiritual journey. Interspersed with some guidelines for the reader to explore some of the teachings and techniques she used.

Moreno has crafted a beautiful book! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Five stars! I liked her writing style and how she shared her healing journey with us. I was able to learn important information about wellness and fresh ideas for my own journey.

Get Rooted by Robyn Moreno is a deeply spiritual, authentic memoir/guide about how to find your true self and break generational curses. This book is a celebration of Robyn's culture and heritage with many personal stories of traditions and loved ones. Her writing is raw and emotional as she highlights her journey to wellness by immersing herself in the Mexican practice of curanderismo. I was moved by Robyn's journey and enjoyed learning more about the ancient healing system that she holds so dear.

I only made it about 15% of the way through the book, even though I tried multiple times. It was more memoir than guidebook or spiritual "how to". I'm certain there is a wonderful audience for this, but I'm not a big memoir fan so it wasn't for me.

Robyn is living life, moving along the path as she rocks the #Momboss mode, until something happens and everything comes crashing down around her. As she tries to pick up the pieces, she begins a search that takes her back to the roots of her ancestors in 260 days, in this case, Mexican grandmothers, and she starts paving a way forward of a journey of healing, for her and her family. Raw, real, and reminiscent of journeys we've seen before like Cheryl Strayed's Wild, or Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love.
*I received a copy of this book from NetGalley. This review is my own opinion*

Great premise - and this book is sure to find it’s audience. The concept of what makes a healer and drawing from nature needs to be explored more. Robyn Moreno does well entering into this difficult to navigate space.

An interesting memoir of a woman who traveled and explored her heritage in order to heal her life and find peace. I was hoping for more concrete stuff that would help others but it was an interesting read nonetheless.

An interesting look at the curanderismo, a type of medicine woman rooted in the Mexican culture. i enjoyed reading about how Robyn Moreno developed a deeper connection with her family and her heritage as she learned about some ancient medicinal and spiritual traditions. I always enjoy reading about a woman on a journey, and this one was definitely unique.
