First Episode: 2025

Storytime with Steph and the Sleepytime Crew is a playful, soothing podcast filled with funny, heartwarming bedtime stories designed to help kids relax, unwind, and drift off feeling safe, seen, and deeply loved. Each episode invites little listeners into a cozy world of big feelings, silly characters, and gentle life lessons — where farts are funny, worries are normal, and every part of them is welcome. Created by Steph — a mum, an energy therapist, and former overthinking kid herself — this podcast is more than just a wind-down tool. It’s a nightly reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to be loved. Whether your child is sensitive, spirited, anxious, neurodivergent, or just really tired — these stories are here to help them feel calm in their body, proud of who they are, and confident that there’s nothing wrong with being a little different. Featuring regular visits from the Sleepytime Crew (like Koda the Koala, Coops the Capybara and Ziggy the Zebra), each story blends gentle mindfulness cues, emotional support, and a big dose of giggles — perfect for ages 4 to 10 (and secretly their grown-ups, too). At the heart of every episode is this message:You are safe. You are seen. And you are loved — just as you are. Now let’s tuck in, take a deep breath… and join the crew.
