New research is challenging one of life’s biggest assumptions, that having children makes you happier. In fact, a growing body of studies suggests the opposite. While children can bring love and meaning, they also bring stress, financial pressure, lack of sleep, and strain on relationships. Some research even shows that parents report lower day to day happiness and reduced relationship satisfaction compared to those without children.

Niall and Paul dig into whether these surveys actually reflect public opinion, or whether the way questions are asked and framed can influence the outcome. Are these polls a genuine snapshot of what people care about, or are they shaping the narrative rather than simply reporting it?

With property taxes increasing, health insurance premiums climbing, and fuel prices surging dramatically in recent weeks, many households are feeling the squeeze like never before.

At the same time, everyday essentials such as food, broadband, and basic services continue to climb well beyond wage growth.

On today’s episode of The Niall Boylan Podcast, Niall reads out a fiery email from a listener whose wedding anniversary dinner didn’t quite go to plan.
