    Cultivating Cozy: Kathryn Nicolai's Gentle Approach to Sleep Through Stories

    Doro and Trica welcome author and podcaster Kathryn Nicolai to discuss the importance of bedtime stories and their calming effects on sleep. They talk about her work: collections of stories that she reads aloud to help her listeners fall asleep. Her podcast combines the art of storytelling with the healing power of mindfulness, offering a retreat for the mind, with an intended medicinal effect. Kathryn shares insights into her creative process and the intimate connections she bridges with listeners, most touchingly of those who use her work in hospice care. The conversation also touches on the significance of community. Kathryn’s focus on sleep as a foundation for good health mirrors her belief that creativity is a practice, something that can be developed over time with consistent effort and intention, and she encourages listeners to explore mindfulness, self-care, and connection through storytelling.
