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.

A Wonderfully Wobbly Christmas with the Storytime Crew
Get ready for a sleigh ride of giggles, glitter and glorious chaos in this very special Christmas episode of Steph and the Storytime Crew.
Join Que the Quokka as she steps into the Storytime Village on Christmas Eve… expecting a calm day of decorating… only to find Coops in a colour-coded bauble crisis, Ollie vibrating with excitement, Lenny declaring Christmas is cancelled, Chloe dodging compliments, and Dane wearing a wreath as a belt because “it felt festive.”
And just when things start settling… Emmy the Axolotl sneezes, her glitter jar explodes (again!), and a wonderfully, wobbly Christmas ensues.
Through all the sparkles, meltdowns, big feelings and belly laughs, Que helps the crew navigate disappointment, sensory overwhelm, perfection pressure and those “I ruined everything” moments. Together they turn the chaos into something magical: the Wobbly Wondertree and the very first Glitter Snow Christmas Festival.
This heartwarming, hilarious story teaches kids that:
• mistakes can turn into magic
• perfection is overrated
• teamwork makes the tinsel work
• and Christmas joy comes from kindness, connection and letting yourself shine exactly as you are
Perfect for car rides, bedtimes, or as a festive family listen curled up under the twinkling lights.
Tune in, little legends… Christmas is about to get wonderfully wobbly. 🎄✨
