Steph and the Sleepytime Crew
Storytime with Steph and the Sleepytime Crew is a playful, soothing podcast filled with funny, heartwarming bedtime stories designed to help kids relax, unwind, and drift off feeling safe, seen, and deeply loved.
Each episode invites little listeners into a cozy world of big feelings, silly characters, and gentle life lessons — where farts are funny, worries are normal, and every part of them is welcome.
Created by Steph — a mum, an energy therapist, and former overthinking kid herself — this podcast is more than just a wind-down tool. It’s a nightly reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to be loved.
Whether your child is sensitive, spirited, anxious, neurodivergent, or just really tired — these stories are here to help them feel calm in their body, proud of who they are, and confident that there’s nothing wrong with being a little different.
Featuring regular visits from the Sleepytime Crew (like Koda the Koala, Coops the Capybara and Ziggy the Zebra), each story blends gentle mindfulness cues, emotional support, and a big dose of giggles — perfect for ages 4 to 10 (and secretly their grown-ups, too).
At the heart of every episode is this message:
You are safe. You are seen. And you are loved — just as you are.
Now let’s tuck in, take a deep breath… and join the crew.

Coops the Capybara Who Can’t See His Cool
Coops, the Capybara is a scooter legend at the local pump track.
He shreds the local pump track like a total pro — flipping, carving, spinning and tailwhipping like nobody’s business.
Kids cheer. Parents watch on in awe. Birds literally stop to watch.
But… Coops doesn’t feel cool.
In fact, he doesn’t feel much of anything except mehhhh.
Because no matter what trick he lands, his brain keeps saying:
“You’re not really that great.”
In this gentle and funny sleep story, Coops learns what self-worth really means — and that it doesn’t come from what you do, but from who you are. With a little help from his mum, some mirror magic, and a few deep scooter-themed breaths, Coops starts to notice his strengths in a brand-new way.
This 11-minute bedtime tale is perfect for sensitive kids, sporty kids, perfectionists, and those who feel “not good enough” — even when they’re amazing.
Steph and the Sleepytime Crew are here to remind your little legend that they’re more than their achievements…
They’re worthy, just as they are.
Let’s roll into rest — with cool as a cucumber, Coops.
