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!

E

Wanna share your thoughts? Send a text!Have you ever played childfree bingo? If you're a childfree person, then the answer is probably, sadly, yes.But for the uninitiated, childfree bingo is a snarky reaction to the irritatingly recurrent questions and responses we receive when we reveal we don't have or want kids. They're so frequent and common that we can reliably check them off a bingo card, if we wanted to.To be clear, no one enjoys playing this game. It's a stupid game with stupid prizes.A super common bingo is the question: who will take care of you when you're old?What's wrong with this question? Don't we have a moral obligation to take care of our elders?Let's examine where that particular bingo comes from and how we should be thinking about end of life care instead.Want your own bingo card?

As her podcast From Tourist to Local has evolved, so has its host.

Wanna share your thoughts? Send a text!Ep #89 - Tired of being called selfish just because you know yourself well enough to not have kids? Anyone who dares to flout social conventions is typically labeled rebellious. But opt out of the sacrificial act of parenthood? HOW DARE YOU, YOU SELFISH BITCH?!Let's examine what “selfish” really means, why it’s so often weaponized against childfree women, and how our definitions of self-centered, self-aware, and boundaries get all tangled up in toxic cultural norms. It's a spectrum, and we're all capable of selfish acts. Parents, too! So why do parents get a pass on selfish behavior? Give this episode a listen and then text in your thoughts! Add your name to the text body too, and your response might be read on a future episode.Start shedding your toxic traits as we explore how in-groups and out-groups shape our beliefs, and how critical thinking and healthy boundary-setting can help us all live our best lives.
