  • Summary

  • 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

    Restoration & The Lady in the Painting
    Mar 3 2025
    Our stories tonight are called Restoration, and The Lady in the Painting, and they are stories about an inherited treasure, and the tale it has to tell. It’s also about the precious gift of a common moment preserved in paint, the feeling of knowing someone you’ve never met, a clue on a scrap of paper, and the feeling of being so connected to what you’re doing that time passes without notice. We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to GLAD GLBTQ Advocates & Defenders, which works to create a just society free of discrimination based on gender identity and expression.

Not sleeping? Listen to this now.

I've been hooked on podcast for over a year now and what she says is true. Make this a habit and you'll feel good and fall asleep. At first I thought it was silly, and just listened to one. And then I wanted to hear more about marmalade and then just wanted more of that soothing calm voice, and someone to watch over me. All her words, magic. LOVE this.

My bedtime companion

I’m usually asleep with the set up for each story. The routine helps to settle me in for a cosy sleep. On the odd occasion I don’t have connectivity I just use the set up myself and I’m asleep before I know it.
Kathryn’s voice and tone is soothing.

Life changer

I’ve been a premium member and have her book. I use one source almost every night. Cannot rate her highly enough

Excellent

Nothing much happens saves me every night that I have runaway thoughts. I often wake up at 1am with my mind racing and I put this on and it distracts me enough to fall asleep and stay asleep. Cannot recommend it more
