Steph and the Storytime Crew
Steph and the Storytime Crew is a podcast of calming bedtime stories designed to help kids wind down, feel safe, and fall asleep faster.
Created by therapist and mum Steph McCarter, each 15-30 minute story supports emotional regulation, builds self-worth, and helps kids process anxiety, friendship struggles, big feelings and more.
Perfect for ages 5 through to 12 (and adults too!) especially big feelers, sensitive, neurodivergent or anxious kids who need a little extra support at night.
Think: big feelings, funny animals, and gentle tools for emotional resilience.
New stories added regularly.
