Nothing much happens: bedtime stories to help you sleep

iHeartPodcasts

Having trouble sleeping?  Join Yoga and meditation teacher Kathryn Nicolai for bedtime stories where nothing much happens to help you relax and sleep peacefully. The stories are a soft landing spot for your mind. Rather than letting your brain race through the same thoughts you’ve been chasing all day, we are taking a detour to a calm and comfy place. We tell the story twice and go a bit slower the second time. You can find our book, "Nothing Much Happens," in over 20 languages. Request your local bookseller to shelve it: https://bit.ly/Nothing-Much-Happens

    Snow Day in the Village

    Our story tonight is called Snow Day in the Village, and it follows up on the recent storm that blew threw Nothing Much. It’s about checking on neighbors as the drifts pile up, shovels and thick socks. It’s also about banana bread, puppy paw prints in the snow, books and blankets, and small acts that connect and protect us.


    We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to Veganuary. Working to encourage people worldwide to try vegan for January and beyond.

    Plates and Bowls

    Our story tonight is called Plates and Bowls, and it’s a story about keeping a promise to yourself after the bustle of the holidays has settled down.

    Crumb Meets Santa

    Our story tonight is called Crumb meets Santa, and it’s a story about a trip into town on a December afternoon. It’s also about a chew toy in a red suit and hat, jingle bells on a collar, being surrounded by your family at the holidays, whether furry or otherwise, and letting the joy of another fill your heart.

    We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the MS Society. Mine is a family touched by MS, and I’m grateful for the work they do. Their mission is to cure MS while empowering people affected by MS to live their best lives.
