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] (https://bit.ly/Nothing-Much-Happens) ," in over 20 languages. Request your local bookseller to shelve it: https://bit.ly/Nothing-Much-Happens
