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

The Sleeper Car
Our story tonight is called The Sleeper Car, and it’s a story about a trip where the mode of travel is more important than the destination. It’s also about crisp ironed linens, a little notebook that fits perfectly into your pocket, the mystery of strangers across the dining car, and waking up to a snowy sunrise.
Our charity this week is Guide Dogs for the Blind. Everyone deserves to move through the world safely and confidently, and they are helping. https://www.guidedogs.com

Mornings at the Coffee Shop (Bonus)

Winter Walk (Encore)

Lemongrass and Ginger
Our story tonight is called Lemongrass and Ginger, and it’s a story about fresh flavors and aromas enjoyed in a cozy kitchen. It’s also about a cache of cookbooks discovered in the basement, the winter sun warming your face, a softer way to look at mistakes when you make them, and a quiet, clean house on a snowy day.
Our charity this week is Affirmations (Ferndale), a charity close to my heart and home. Affirmations works to provide a welcoming space where people of all LGBTQIA+ folks can find support and unconditional acceptance and where they can learn, grow, socialize, and feel safe.

The Innkeeper's Blanket (Encore)
Our story tonight is called The Innkeeper’s Blanket and it’s a story about a favorite hobby, rediscovered in the quiet of winter. It’s also about a simmering pot in the kitchen, geese gathering before they fly and making something by hand that is perfectly imperfect.

The Winter Quilt
Our story tonight is called The Winter Quilt, and it’s a story about a lovingly made piece of art that warms a heart and a bed. It’s also about snowflakes lit up in the headlights of a car, sparrows and bicycles, and the artifacts that we hold to tell us stories from the past.

Customer Reviews
Stories too good to sleep to!
Such beautiful stories. my teenage daughter was anxious at bedtime during the Covid lockdowns so we tried many sleep podcasts but have not looked back since discovering Nothing Much Happens. I bought her the book, and sometimes read the stories to her in my best Katherine Nicoli voice (with Bob Wittershiem engineering😁).
Sleep
I can’t begin to tell you how any of the stories end , as yet I have never heard the ending
This is a bonus as I play the same few over and over again
NMH has changed the way I sleep, which in turn changes my day . I get at least 7 straight hours now , sometimes waking in the morning in the exact same position I was taking my two deep breaths!
I’ve told heaps of people about this podcast too
Thank you , it’s brilliant 🙏
Thank you <3
