Deborah Cruz

Deborah Cruz is the unapologetically honest voice behind The TRUTH about Motherhood, a parenting|lifestyle|travel website serving up realness for moms of all ages and levels navigating parenthood.

As a proud Latina from Chicago, Deborah is a girl mom to two strong, intelligent Gen Z ballerinas. With an M.S. in Digital Marketing, a B.A. in Politics and a relatable, witty writing style, she's on a mission to dismantle the picture-perfect illusions of modern motherhood.

Whether she's dishing out hilarious tales from the trenches or offering no-BS advice, Deborah's words always hit you right in the mama heart. As she likes to say, "I'm just here to tell you the sh*t no one else will."

When she's not busy creating content or empowering her daughters, Deborah can be found walking her daily 5K, sipping on a super spicy iced chai or planning her next Disney adventure with her college sweetheart, husband, whom she affectionately refers to as the Big Guy.

Deborah's writing has been featured all over the internet but her true passion is making moms feel seen, supported, and a little less alone.
