Confetti & The Method
¡El Playlist! volume 35 celebrates Latinidad, slowness, and creativity
Today’s podcast recommendations are an exciting celebration of everything that makes me a Latina: from Mexico through California, to Puerto Rico through New York.
First up Chicana host Cynthia Perez explore origin stories through the lens of the Mexican folklore anti-heroine La Llorona. Then NY native of Dominican descent M. Tony Peralta takes on a ride with Nuyorican artist Edgardo Miranda-Rodriquez and his Boriqua superhero.
Enjoy!
Confetti All Around
Description: Rooted in Reflection presents Confetti All Around, a podcast that provides an intimate space for vulnerability, inner child joy and ancestral energy to co-exist and give generously to others listening for the comfort and the cuentos. Confetti All Around is intimate and brave. It's compassionate and timely. We are pulling back the veil on all the work behind the scenes of coming to this part of our lives where we can celebrate and rejoice from the roots to the fruits!
Mission: On Confetti All Around we hold space for the celebration of our success and the mess after the party's over. We dive into vulnerability to share a moment in our lives we thought we did not have direction or felt utterly defeated and the lessons learned from them to get to where we are now. We center self compassion, creativity and intergenerational healing.
Host: Confetti All Around is hosted by Chicana Therapist Cynthia Perez, LCSW who has worked in the field of Los Angeles, CA for 15 years as a social worker in schools, homes and hospitals and realized what everyone wants is connection and a good story. Cynthia interviews friends, mentors and cycle breakers. *This podcast is not therapy.

Episode recommendation: Episode 4 of season 3 opens with a vow of slowness and moving within the energy, before threading in La Llorona’s origin story. It also asks us to consider what our own folktales are. Listen to La LLorona: Not Dead but Not Alive Either.
