Walking the Path: Audrey Cruz's Story of Strength and Identity

We sat down with Audrey Cruz, a remarkable mom, podcast co-host of Rule 42, and an absolute force of nature. 💖 Audrey shared her deeply personal story of adoption, a journey of resilience, cultural exploration, and the beautiful, complex path to finding her identity.

Imagine learning your path was different than you thought... Audrey navigated this with grace and strength, and her insights are truly profound. We even explored the powerful poem "Caminante, son tus huellas" by Antonio Machado, reminding us that "the path is made by walking." 👣

We asked Audrey about the moment she learned about her adoption, how it shaped her motherhood, and the misconceptions she wishes people understood. Her answers? Heartfelt and eye-opening. 🤯

Creative Content: Caminante, son tus huellas by Antonio Machado.

Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino, y nada más;
caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar."

Translation:
"Traveler, your footprints
are the path, and nothing more;
traveler, there is no path,
the path is made by walking.
