Exhaustion Podcast: This is a podcast from my essay Exhaustion from the book Ghosts of Parenting. In this episode exhaustion is discussed not as simple tiredness, but as something that forms slowly through years of care, vigilance, repetition, and responsibility. This is not a conversation about coping strategies or parenting tips, it names what many parents are already living, the quiet weight of staying available, the unseen labour of holding emotion, and the way the future is carried inside ordinary days. If you are parenting and wondering why the tiredness feels deeper than lack of sleep, this reflection offers language for that experience, not to fix it, but to recognise it. It is an essay about duration, about love that does not cancel fatigue, and about what changes when exhaustion is finally seen clearly, without judgement.
