In this episode, I speak with Stephen Shaw, creator of *The Birth Gap* documentary, about one of the most pressing but unspoken issues of our time—declining birth rates, rising childlessness, and the loneliness that follows. We explore why so many women are delaying motherhood, how career and cultural messaging are influencing family choices, and why young people aren't being told the truth about fertility. Stephen's research spans over 24 countries, and what he's found is both heartbreaking and urgent. If you've ever wondered why fewer people are having children, or what this means for the future of families, this conversation is for you.
