About "The median woman reports wanting 2-3 kids... But the median 22-yr-old woman doesn’t seem to be working backwards from that goal...":

I suppose the first problem here is that wanting something in a general sense is not the same as setting a goal.

Next, setting a goal is not the same as working out (backwards) what needs to happen in order to get there....

And that's before considering the effort involved with actually doing what it takes.

As far as I have seen, it's not just median 22-yr-old women who are having trouble formulating goals, working out the steps to reach them, and implementing said steps. It seems to be an issue afflicting a great part of the population.
