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!

It's lucky number 13! 13 days of this LVMC Podcast Block Party and today's featured trailer is all about the cozy, witchy vibes with Witch, Stitch, & Brew.
Hosted by the charming duo of Ryan and Alina, this podcast is full of laughter, crafting, and the kind of tangents that make you feel like you're hanging out with your besties. There's LOTS of [redacting]. There's a mysterious "forkie" situation. There's babbling—and it’s glorious!!
Don’t worry if you don’t quite get it yet. Just hit play and let yourself get swept up in the inside jokes and the deeply relatable joy of these two crafting podcasters. Welcome to the coven.
"What happens when you get two best friends together while crafting and enjoying a beverage?
Foolishness. You get foolishness!
Join us each week as we craft and chat amongst ourselves, and sometimes with guests, in this crafters podcast that literally no one asked for!
Grab your current fiber arts WIP, a brew of your choice, and settle in for a delightful conversation of profanity, hot takes, and bad decisions.
You never know what to expect, but at least you’re working on your WIP! Welcome to Witch, Stitch, & Brew: a podcast where we talk 💩, while we make 💩"

Hey mis amigues, welcome to day 13 of the LVMC Podcast Block Party. I'm Paulette Erato, the host of this show. Vida Más Chévere de Childfree Latinas, and I'm still the birthday girl. Witch Stitch and Brew is going to be an auditory delight for you. Look, there's a lot of babbling, but once you listen for just a couple of seconds to these two hosts, you will fall in love with them too. You'll wanna know what was redacted. You'll wanna become a forkie. What does all this mean? Please go listen to Witch Stitch and Brew and all of those questions will be answered. Hey, forkies. Hey, it's Ryan and Alina. And this is Witch Stitch and Brew, the podcast where we talk shit. While we make shit. And if you're the type of person that loves really thought out, really educational, conversational, delicious podcast. This is not that podcast. This is not that podcast. If you like crafting tangents, swear words, Do you like a random collection of words strung together that make no sense? This is it. We were asked to put a trailer together to explain what our podcast is, and we also realized that we... Dunno how! Dunno how. So what you're getting is two brain cells ponging back and forth, which is pretty accurate for our podcast to be quite honest. Yeah, the ping pong parade. So if you wanna hang out here, a lot of things get redacted. A lot of inside jokes, a lot of stories, while you can attempt to craft or whatever you do, a little break from reality, if you will. Welcome with witchy and respectful hugs. Stay hydrated. Bye! 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. And of course if you've got thoughts, dígame! DM me on Instagram or send me a text from your phone right now. There's always a link in the show notes for that too.
