Host

Kathleen

I'm Kathleen and I am the creator and voice behind Chapter & Pillow: Drift to Sleep with the Classics. I’ve always believed in the power of the written word and its ability to comfort, encourage, and inspire. Creating this podcast lets me help others by offering a calming space at the end of the day, where timeless stories guide listeners toward peace and rest.

Outside of podcasting, I love to travel the world, I teach and coach, I love sports, swimming, gardening, cooking, and boating. Nature is my inspiration, and I spend most of my time with my husband and our horses and other pets on our small ranch. I’m also the proud mom of two grown sons who continue to inspire me with their creativity and resilience.

For me, Chapter & Pillow is about more than reading aloud — it’s about helping others slow down, relax, and drift to sleep.
