Letting Go: This is a podcast conversation about an essay called Letting Go from the book Ghosts of Parenting. The episode explores how letting go in parenting is not a single moment or decision, but a gradual, ongoing shift in how care, responsibility, and connection change over time. It looks at the quiet ache that can arise as children become more independent, the tension between holding and stepping back, and the hidden intelligence within this process. Rather than framing letting go as withdrawal or loss, the conversation names it as a structural part of love, where attention moves from control to availability, and where parenting continues through presence even as roles transform.
