Attention Podcast: This is a conversational podcast episode based on my essay Attention from Ghosts of Parenting. It explores attention not as focus or parenting effort, but as something that quietly settles into life over years, the constant background awareness of another person, the interruptions, the half finished thoughts, the way inner space keeps being entered.

It looks at why this can feel draining even when love is present, how vigilance creeps in when attention goes unrecognised,
