Living La Vida Más Chévere: Creativity, Culture and Choosing Your Own Path Paulette Erato

What if success didn’t mean checking off someone else’s boxes? In this episode, we explore what it means to design a life that’s joyful, intentional, and completely your own.In this episode of Creative Made, I sat down with Paulette Erato—podcaster, author, and founder of the Latinas in Podcasting Summit—while we were both in Chicago for Podcast Movement. Paulette shares her journey as a child-free Latina, the cultural expectations she’s unlearning, and how she’s building a community rooted in support instead of gatekeeping. We talked about redefining success, the beauty of being a creative problem-solver, and why sometimes, just showing up and pressing record is the biggest win of all.Connect with Paulette:https://pauletteerato.com/Learn more about Latinas in Podcasting:https://www.latinasinpodcasting.com/Time Stamps00:00 Celebrating Latina Voices in Podcasting02:59 Empowering Child-Free Perspectives06:02 Redefining Success and Happiness08:56 The Importance of Community11:57 Creating the Latinas in Podcasting Summit15:06 Building a Supportive Network18:00 The Future of Latinas in Podcasting20:48 Celebrating Heritage and Identity
