La Vida Más Chévere de Childfree Latinas
Childfree Latinas: you’re not alone. You're a movement! This podcast is here to make that loud and clear.
Hosted by speaker and community builder Paulette Erato, this Spanglish show digs into what it really means to choose a life sin hijos in a culture that treats motherhood like an obligation. But we don’t stop there! LVMC pushes past the surface-level “childfree” conversation and into the messy, cultural beliefs we were all raised with: the silence, the guilt, the constant self-sacrifice, the pressure to make ourselves small, agreeable, and convenient.
Every other Tuesday, Paulette (and sometimes guests) invites childfree Latinas y Latines to say F THAT! Let’s unpack the toxic traditions and generational scripts that keep us calladitas. Because once you see how these patterns show up in our careers, relationships, families, finances, creativity, and identity, you can’t UNSEE it. So let’s do what it takes to unlearn them without burning down our entire lives.
This is not a judgment zone, but it’s also not a polite one. It’s a space where we name things out loud: machismo, marianismo, internalized misogyny, cultural expectations, and all the emotional labor we were told was just part of being “a good girl.”
By mixing real talk, sharp analysis, and bilingual humor, the show helps you let go of the old burdens we were raised to carry: the duty to please everyone, the fear of disappointing la familia, and the constant need to defend your choices. If you’re ready to trust yourself more, reclaim your time, live on your own terms, and design a life that actually feels like yours, you’re in the right place.
And that’s a burrito!

Hey mis amigues, and we're back for day two of what I'm calling the LVMC Podcast Block Party. Follow that hashtag on socials. Oh, I should tell you who I am. Hi, I'm Paulette Erato, the host of La Vida Más Chévere de Childfree Latinas. For day two of this celebration, I wanna introduce you to Sex in Spanglish, hosted by another childfree Latina, and our most recent guest, Ana Lopez. If you missed that episode, you're gonna wanna check it out. So I linked it in the show notes. Do you know what a smut consultant is? You will after listening, enjoy Sex in Spanglish. Hola y bienvenidos a Sex in Spanglish where we empower mujeres to get in touch with their bodies, own their own pleasure, and where we discuss all the cochinadas our abuelas didn't tell us about. Hi all, my name is Ana, a certified sex coach who was earning a Master's in social work and human sexuality education. I created this podcast as a way to start a conversation about sex in the Latin community. Because let's be real, we don't talk about sex in our community. It is my vision to have La Familia Latina discussing sex with one another just like they do with chisme. Join me every week to hear me talk about orgasms, STIs, birth control and all the other cochinadas your abuela didn't tell you about. Until then, be sure to follow me on Instagram for weekly topics and updates. And to get more information about how you can get personalized coaching from a Latina certified sex coach who can help you navigate your culture and your sexuality, be sure to check out my linktree located in the bio on my Instagram at Sex in Spanglish. Instagram is where you'll find me discussing sex and my other passions, food, social justice y Latinidad. It's also where you can access my Facebook and Twitter accounts. Make sure to leave me a comment to let me know you heard this. Espero verte pronto! Hey mira!. If you love this trailer as much as I did, then seriously go subscribe to the show right now. All the links to do that are in the show notes. Y no se te olvide, this is all part of my birthday celebration, so keep tuning in every weekday to discover new podcasts you might enjoy.

Muchísimas gracias for celebrating my birthday with me. Y hasta la próxima vez, that's a burrito.
