114. Rewriting the Narrative: Childfree Latinas, Joy, and Cultural Liberation

La Vida Más Chévere de Childfree Latinas creator and host Paulette Erato joins me for a powerful conversation about choosing your own path—even when it goes against cultural expectations. As the founder of Latinas In Podcasting and a proud Spanglish podcaster, Paulette is no stranger to challenging the narratives we’ve been fed. In this episode, we talk about what it means to reject motherhood not out of lack, but out of self-knowing. Paulette reminds us that there’s nothing wrong with designing a life outside the traditional blueprint—and that being different doesn’t mean being broken. We also get into: ✨ Why not wanting kids isn’t selfish—it’s sovereign ✨ How joy and community are radical acts of resistance for Latinas ✨ Dismantling toxic cultural scripts and rewriting them in our own voice From sunsets and Belgian ales to deep conversations on liberation, Paulette brings wisdom, wit, and a refreshing perspective you won’t want to miss.
