Sin Reserva | El viaje al niño interior

In this episode of Sin Reserva, Colombian singer-songwriter Santiago Cruz opens his heart to explore the deepest wounds of his inner child.
The heartbreaking story of his absent father, his arduous struggle with addiction, and how he transformed family trauma into the strength that keeps him going. What lies behind the man who sings the country's biggest hits? Watch the full video and don't miss it on Sin Reserva.
Join us for a revealing conversation where Santiago Cruz recounts the best-kept secrets of his childhood in Ibagué. In this episode hosted by José Fernando Patiño, we explore the transgenerational trauma of growing up with an absent father who ended up as a drug trafficker's pilot and serving a ten-year sentence in a Dominican Republic prison.
Santiago details with astonishing honesty how this immense emotional void pushed him into the clutches of alcohol and drug addiction, living under the dangerous trap of the "cursed poet" who romanticizes pain. However, this is primarily a story of redemption, light, and resilience. We will learn how the unconditional love of his wife, María Paz, the birth of his children, and his own determination propelled him to break down the mental prison he had built for himself.
Furthermore, Santiago gives us an exclusive, raw, and heartbreaking performance of his latest musical hit, "Donde Quiera Que Estés" (Wherever You Are), a posthumous letter of dialogue and reconciliation dedicated to his father, and reflects deeply in front of the mirror on the child he once was in the plazas of his neighborhood.
An essential episode for understanding the psychology behind the artist, his handling of grief, the importance of fostering healthy childhoods, and the true meaning of success.
