Love for Life Podcast
The podcast for modern couples who want real connection that lasts.
Hosted by relationship and family coach Nichole Farrow and her husband Ben, this show is for couples trying to stay close while raising kids, building careers, and handling the stress of everyday life. Each week, they unpack the real issues behind modern relationships—intimacy, emotional connection, mental load, conflict, communication, and the quiet resentments no one talks about.
With a mix of expert insight and raw honesty, Nichole and Ben give you practical tools to strengthen your relationship, raise emotionally secure kids, and create a life you both actually want. Because working on your relationship isn’t just for when things go wrong—it’s a lifestyle choice that impacts everything. Research shows couples who invest in their connection are 6x more successful and live 4 years longer.
If you’re ready to break generational cycles, ditch the surface-level advice, and do the real work of love—this is your podcast.

#55: Is It Too Hard to Be a Parent Now?
What if choosing not to have kids isn’t selfish, but a response to a world that feels overwhelming, unstable, and unaffordable?
Right now, fertility rates are falling in nearly every country on the planet. Parenting has become harder, more expensive, and more isolating than ever. In this episode, Nichole and Ben unpack the real reasons people are choosing not to have children, and why those who do are feeling exhausted and unsupported. They explore how money, mental health, climate fear, and the pressure to “do it all” are pushing birth rates to historic lows, and what it’s costing us as a society.
You’ll hear how much it actually costs to raise a child in the UK, why modern parents are burned out, which countries are paying families to move there, and where the best places are to raise kids today. Plus, why so many British families are leaving the UK in search of a better life.
This episode is about more than parenting. It’s about the emotional weight of raising a family today, the systems that aren’t working, and how to rethink what a good life actually looks like. Whether you have kids, want them, or don’t - it matters.
