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.

Lenny the Llama and the Day Everything Went Wrong
In tonight’s story, Lenny the Llama from the Sleepytime Crew, is having one of those days.
The smoothie’s wrong, the socks are wrong, and the whole world feels… just ughhhhh.
But when Lenny meets Doris the Donkey under the gum tree, he learns a simple trick to help shift his mood and reframe a bad day - even just a little bit.
This episode is all about emotional resilience:
✔ recognising big feelings
✔ learning to pause and reflect
✔ and spotting the small, good things, even in the mess
Perfect for little legends who’ve had a wobbly day or need help learning how to sit with tricky emotions without getting stuck in them.
Created with love by Steph and the Sleepytime Crew—helping kids wind down with bedtime stories full of big hearts, gentle giggles, and lessons that stick.
