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!
