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!

Welcome to Day 4 of the LVMC Podcast Block Party! Today's feature is The Gay Podcast for Everyone one of two podcasts hosted by Angela Briones.
Here's how Angela describes this show:
"When I came out to my family, I was essentially asking them to come on this new journey with me. They were now the family of an LGBTQ+ person, and it was new to all of us.
In this podcast, I chat with parents who chose unconditional love over fear and whose supportive conversations are helping to keep the closet door open. I also chat with folx in my LGBTQ+ community, who share their stories so that parents, families, and friends can listen in and understand the journey more.
You don't have to understand the journey to choose unconditional love, and unconditional love doesn't mean you don't have questions, concerns, or fears. It just means we have to help each other through that conversation. Let's talk about it!"

Today's audio delight is someone you're going to hear from more than once. Can you believe some people have multiple podcasts? I don't know how they do it, but Angela Briones manages to do it brilliantly. Her first podcast is called The Gay Podcast for Everyone. And as we gear up to celebrate Pride Month, which here in the Long Beach gayborhood kicks off in May, not in June, let's all celebrate the rainbow. Enjoy this trailer for the Gay Podcast for Everyone. Welcome to the Gay Podcast for Everyone. I'm your host, Angela Briones. If you join me from my previous podcast, They Can't All be Betty, you know, it was a podcast where my LGBTQ plus family and our allies could come together in conversation. And in that podcast intro, I always ended it with the words, this is the Gay Podcast for Everyone. And well that's exactly what this podcast is too. It's a continuation of stories shared by my LGBTQ plus friends and our allies so that we can continue to normalize conversations and keep building stronger ones together. So whether you are in the LGBTQ plus fam, or you're an ally, welcome to a new chapter in our journey together. This is still the Gay Podcast for Everyone. Hey mira!
