Being Needed Podcast: This episode is a spoken reflection from the essay Being Needed from the book Ghosts of Parenting. It explores what it really means to be needed across years, not as a role or identity, but as a lived condition that quietly reshapes time, attention, and inner life. Moving from early physical dependence to the subtler emotional forms that arrive later, this piece names the ongoing readiness, weight, tenderness, and unseen intelligence that sit inside everyday parenting. There is no advice here, just clear recognition of a reality many parents already live: the long, uneven presence of being needed, how it drains when unrecognised, and how it softens slightly when finally given language.

Ordinary Days Podcast: This is a podcast reflection on my essay Ordinary Days from the book Ghosts of Parenting, a quiet exploration of where most of parenting actually lives, not in milestones or dramatic moments, but in the long, repetitive stretches of everyday care. I speak about routine, responsibility, tiredness, vigilance, love, and the unseen weight carried across years, naming how ordinary days shape children and parents alike without ever announcing themselves as important. This is not advice or guidance, just a careful look at the unnoticed rhythms of parenting time, and what changes when we finally recognise that these ordinary days are the work itself.

Love Podcast: This is a spoken reflection on my essay Love from the book Ghosts of Parenting. It explores parental love not as a feeling or ideal, but as something lived across years, the quiet condition that reshapes time, attention, fear, and care once a child arrives. This episode names how love shows up in ordinary moments, in listening after doors close, in carrying tomorrow inside today, and in holding responsibility without needing it to feel good. It is not advice, and it offers no strategies, it simply gives language to what many parents are already living, the weight, the tenderness, the endurance, and the way love stays, even when everything else is changing.

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.

Care Podcast: This is a podcast based on my essay Care from my book Ghosts of Parenting. It’s a conversation about the quiet weight parents carry inside themselves, the things we hold so our children don’t have to. About doing the weighing in our own bodies so they can move freely. About staying steady while they learn how far they can go. The essay doesn’t offer advice or strategies. It simply names what many parents are already living, the constant inner calculation, the restraint, the love that shows up as staying back rather than stepping in. If you’re a parent who carries more than you say, this will probably feel familiar.

Fear Podcast: I wrote an essay called Fear from my book Ghosts of Parenting. This is a conversation about how fear quietly reshapes parenting over time, especially as children grow older and begin to move further into the world. We talk about waiting, watching, loving without control, and how fear becomes less about panic and more about staying connected to what matters most.

Vigilance Podcast: I wrote an essay called Vigilance, from the book Ghosts of Parenting. This podcast is a conversation about what it is like to always be half listening as a parent, the constant background awareness that never fully switches off, even on ordinary days when nothing seems to be happening.

Repetition Podcast: This is a podcast conversation based on an essay I wrote called Repetition, from Ghosts of Parenting. It sits inside the everyday reality of parenting, the things that keep returning, the same questions, the same moments, the same tired movements through the day. The conversation stays with what repetition feels like when parenting is lived across years rather than moments.

Responsibility Podcast: I wrote an essay called Responsibility, part of Ghosts of Parenting, and this podcast is a longer conversation about what responsibility in parenting feels like when it is lived day after day. The discussion explores how responsibility shows up quietly through attention, decision making, and constant awareness, how it sits inside ordinary moments, and how it changes shape over time without ever fully leaving. It stays close to the experience of carrying another life in mind, not as a role or idea, but as something that settles into time and remains.

Arrival Podcast: I wrote an essay called Arrival, which is part of a series of essays from my book Ghosts of Parenting. In this podcast episode, the conversation stays with what arrival really feels like in parenting, not as a single beginning, but as something that keeps happening. We talk about how a child arrives into your life and then keeps arriving, in the morning, in the noise, in the ordinary routines, and in the way time and attention quietly reorganise around them. The conversation explores how love lives inside that repetition, how responsibility settles in without announcement, and why arrival doesn’t fade even as the days move on.
