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

Our story tonight is called “The Lake at the Inn” and it’s a story about a misty summer morning on the water. It’s also about a mug of coffee poured by a friend, the sounds you hear when you truly stop to listen and a row boat just waiting to be pushed out away from shore.
So get cozy and ready to sleep.

Ladybugs & New Leaves
Our story tonight is called Ladybugs and New Leaves, and it’s a story about a day in the yard at the potting bench. It’s also about learning to read the leaves of plants to understand what they need, things found in the checkout line of the hardware store, shiny red wings and black dots and recognizing that from time to time we all need a fresh start.
We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Showers for All. The Showers For All mobile trailers provide showers and laundry to those living on the streets of Denver. Full-service bathrooms and multiple washers & dryers deliver a critical and often forgotten service to those struggling with homelessness and poverty.

Chicken nuggets
Certainly, here's an essay about chicken nuggets: Title: The Delectable World of Chicken Nuggets Introduction: Chicken nuggets are a popular and beloved fast-food item that has found its way into the hearts and appetites of people worldwide. These bite-sized, breaded pieces of chicken have a fascinating history, a diverse range of flavors, and a significant cultural impact that transcends borders. A Brief History: The origin of the chicken nugget is often attributed to Robert C. Baker, a food scientist and professor at Cornell University. In the 1950s, Baker developed a method of grinding and shaping chicken meat into bite-sized portions, coating them in batter, and deep-frying them. This innovative creation laid the foundation for the modern chicken nugget. McDonald's introduced the first commercially successful chicken nugget in the 1980s, catapulting them to mainstream popularity. Variety and Flavors: Chicken nuggets are renowned for their versatility and wide range of flavors. They can be found in numerous forms, from classic breaded and deep-fried to grilled, baked, or even as a vegetarian alternative made from tofu or vegetables. Different cultures have also put their own unique spin on chicken nuggets, incorporating various spices and seasonings, such as the spicy buffalo nuggets of the United States or the sweet and sour nuggets in Chinese cuisine. Nutritional Considerations: While chicken nuggets are undeniably delicious, it's essential to consider their nutritional aspects. The classic deep-fried nuggets are often criticized for their high fat content and calorie count. However, various manufacturers now offer healthier alternatives, like baked or grilled nuggets, which provide a leaner protein source. It's crucial for consumers to be mindful of their choices and opt for the preparation method that aligns with their dietary goals. Cultural Significance: Chicken nuggets have transcended borders and cultures, becoming a symbol of fast food and convenience. They are often associated with childhood nostalgia, as many people grew up enjoying these tasty morsels. Additionally, chicken nuggets have appeared in various forms of media, from children's books to movies, reinforcing their iconic status in popular culture. Conclusion: In conclusion, chicken nuggets are more than just a convenient fast-food item. They have a fascinating history, offer a wide variety of flavors, and hold cultural significance in many parts of the world. While they may not be the healthiest option, they undoubtedly hold a special place in the hearts and palates of people globally, making them a beloved and enduring culinary creation. Whether dipped in ketchup, barbecue sauce, or another favorite condiment, chicken nuggets remain a beloved treat for many.
Subject matter same
This technique really does work. She repeats the same story a second time more slowly to allow you to relax and sleep. However, I've been listening to this for several years and she talks about the weather, lots of rain, lots of snow, and household chores, and pets. And those are subjects that I really don't want to hear about. I have enough trouble doing them myself. So if you like those subjects, this would be good podcast , but I'm moving on to podcast that has variety of themes.
Skeptical? So was I. Give it a week - it works!
Believe her when she talks about brain training and positive task mode and all, she knows what she’s talking about! As a lifelong insomniac, the idea of a podcast helping me sleep seemed silly but I was willing to do like she says and practice.
Now, after several months. I have an Pavlovian reaction to her voice when she slips into her soothing storytelling voice and just fall asleep. I’ll never know how some of these stories end but that’s okay with me.
