Episode Synopsis

The Shallow Take? Having a baby is just what adults do… right?Except in 2025, starting a family feels less like a life milestone and more like a luxury purchase. With the rising cost of living, climate anxiety, housing insecurity, and childcare prices that rival a second rent, the decision to have kids isn’t just emotional anymore — it’s financial.In this episode, we unpack why becoming a parent feels so out of reach for so many. Is choosing not to have children a true personal choice… or a choice shaped by the world we live in? Are we selfish, realistic, overwhelmed, or simply exhausted?We explore falling birth rates, the pressure to “grow up", the myths about being childfree, and the real reasons so many millennials and Gen Z are hitting pause on parenthood.Let’s dive in. 👶✨Shallow Socials!InstagramTikTokYoutube Hosted on Acast.
