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!

Our podcast block party is wrapping up (coming to a burrito, if you will!) with a bit of déjà vu. Remember host Angela Briones from Day 4? She's back to close out the party with her second show Thank You For Joining Me.
On this show, Angela offers a blend of real talk, practical advice, and encouragement that’s perfect for anyone navigating the early stages of podcasting. She’s a seasoned creative with a brilliant take on the behind-the-scenes of audio storytelling. AND her voice alone is enough to get you to hit the follow button.
Plus there's a bonus! All good parties have swag bags to enjoy later and this is no different. Angela is also a childfree Latina and will be featured in the next full episode of La Vida Más Chévere. That's a particularly juicy episode where we talk about the word “selfish.” But first, enjoy Thank You for Joining Me, a show made for those who want to create with purpose and podcast with confidence.
"Thank You for Joining Me is for the newbie and indie podcaster. It's about what happens before (and after) the episode and most importantly, what happens in between.
From the excitement of episode one to avoiding the podcrash after episode ten, we'll not only cover the nut-and-bolts of creating your podcast, but also the mindset that will keep you going!
Join in for episodes ranging from my personal podcast thoughts to sharing the space with podcast friends who will share their podcasting process, as well as insights of how to balance it outside of real life.
We'll also talk about the hurdles of sharing our voice, and how to keep the creative spark going. This is a space where we can talk about what's working - and what's not working - in our podcasty life, share insights, and stay inspired so we can all keep hitting PUBLISH!"
