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.

Ziggy the Zebra's Bedtime Disco
Welcome to Ziggy Zzz’s Sleepytime Disco — the only bedtime party where you shake, shimmy, and sloooow dance your way to sleep.
Join Ziggy the Zebra and her sparkly pyjamas for a silly-soothing bedtime adventure under the stars. There’s wiggly toes, spaghetti legs, invisible hugs, and the magical Zebra Breath — all wrapped in gentle beats and dreamy vibes.
Designed for kids aged 4–10, this 10-minute sleep meditation blends body awareness, breathwork, and rhythm to help your little one melt into sleep with a smile on their face and stripes in their dreams.
So hit play, fluff the pillows, and let the bedtime boogie begin.

Hi, I’m Steph — a mum to a sensitive little guy and an integrative therapist who works with kids to regulate their nervous systems (as well as adults!). I know how important it is that every child feels safe, seen, and loved just as they are. I created Steph and the Sleepytime Crew to help kids wind down with stories that spark giggles, build confidence, and support emotional and social wellbeing — one bedtime at a time.
Thanks for listening and letting me and the Sleepytime Crew be part of your family’s night-time routine!
