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.

Pip the Panda Who's Learning the Truth About Perfection
In this heartfelt Steph & the Sleepytime Crew adventure, we meet Pip - a determined little Panda with big dreams and even bigger feelings. When her first attempt at roller skating doesn’t go as planned (okay… it’s a complete disaster), Pip spirals into self-doubt, frustration, and one very dramatic panda meltdown.
But with a little help from her wise friend Moxy the Meercat, Pip learns a few powerful lessons:
- Perfection isn’t real
- Mistakes don’t mean you’re failing
- And just because a thought feels true, doesn’t mean it is
This story gently explores how negative self-talk can hold us back, why self-kindness matters when we’re learning something new, and how mistakes aren’t just part of growing up - they’re one of the most important parts of the journey.
A soothing story for kids who struggle with frustration, big feelings, or thinking (and feeling) like they have to get it “right” the first time.
Perfect for bedtime — and imperfect days.

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.
