Paulette Erato hosts La Vida Más Chévere de Childfree Latina, the only biweekly Spanglish podcast about living your best life, from the childfree Latina perspective. That life starts with dismantling the toxic cultural BS we've all grown up with in Latinidad. Like assuming everyone wants kids...or the woman should fix her partner a plate at dinner.

F that! End the generational trauma and design best life for YOU instead. Let's get rid of the cultural brainwashing and make decisions and life choices that make us happy instead of merely another victim of The Patriarchy.

Formerly known as the Maker Muse Podcast.
