Fernando Arau — "Cada día era más rico… Pero más miserable" | En Positivo con Lourdes Del Río

In this episode of En Positivo, I talk with Fernando Arau about one of the most powerful and transformative moments of his life. Fernando recalls how, amidst the success of Cachún Cachún and his immense fame in Mexico, he began to lose his way. He had money, recognition, new friends, and a vibrant social life, but he also started drifting away from what mattered most: his wife, his children, and his home. After five years living what he calls “la vida loca” (the crazy life), he reached a point of utter loneliness where he understood that fame couldn't fill the void he felt. It was then that he decided to go back to his family, ask for forgiveness, and try to reconnect with them. In this conversation, he also talks about the spiritual moment that changed his life: the first time he entered a church, the impact of hearing a message that felt directed at him, and how that day he ended up surrendering to God. A profoundly human story about fame, repentance, forgiveness, faith, and second chances.
