Listen "The Power of Friendship"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Ana Cruz reflects on how our understanding of friendship evolves as we do. From the independence of being the “new kid” to the calm wisdom of a friend named Grace, she explores how the people in our lives help us grow — sometimes long before we realize it.Ana shares stories of friends who began as background characters and slowly became main ones, the quiet persistence of a friendship that stretched across decades, and the way her own children now carry those lessons forward in their lifelong bonds.It’s a heartfelt conversation about chosen family, belonging, and the kind of friendship that doesn’t need daily proof — only presence.And as Ana looks toward the years ahead, she imagines a “Golden Girls” compound filled with laughter, honesty, and love — a reminder that maybe friendship is the real love story, the one that keeps unfolding long after everything else changes.
