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, welcome to day seven of the LVMC Podcast Block Party. Yep. Still doing that. Hey, I'm Paulette Erato, the host of this podcast, which is called La Vida Más Chévere de Childfree Latinas, and also the birthday girl. I couldn't resist putting the two doctors back to back on this feed. So let me introduce you to Dr. G. Dr. Lauren Guerra is a doctor of theology, and her show is about the intersection between all the facets of our culture, Latinidad, and faith. I was a guest during her last season and I love her approach to what can be a tough subject, especially in this current climate. So please enjoy Gold Hoops and God. Hi. This is Dr. Guerra of the Gold Hoops and God podcast. What is the Gold Hoops and God podcast? Well, it's a space that I created to help empower Latina millennials to live their best life. These are meant to be inspiring stories from various Latinas of different backgrounds to really show our diversity. And to show how faith and spirituality can be something so life-giving. These are topics that rarely get discussed, so I wanted to create this space in a more public platform so that folks can listen to these stories and become inspired. It's really been a pleasure these last few seasons to get to know my various guests and they're all doing amazing things in the world. Please be sure to check out the Gold Hoops and God podcast. The podcast is available on various platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and more. There's also YouTube video of the interviews. I always share the interview video each Wednesday. It's available on YouTube.
At 1:11 PM Pacific Time where you can watch me interview the guests, which is really fun. And then there's also a community page on Instagram, so you can find me at goldhoops_god. I really want this to be a place where everyone is welcome. I love to hear your stories. I know how much these episodes have resonated with different people. I've gotten some wonderful feedback and support since I began the podcast about a year ago. And I can't wait for you to check it out. Be sure to please subscribe, like, and share, and I can't wait to catch you on online. Thanks. Bye! Hey mira!
