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.

Josie the Jaguar: A Funny Kids’ Story About Confidence and Self-Belief
Get ready for giggles, sparkles and a whole lot of heart in this brand-new Storytime Crew adventure.
In Josie the Jaguar: A Funny Kids’ Story About Confidence and Self-Belief we follow Josie, a beautifully sensitive jaguar who wakes up having one of those wobbly days where everything feels harder and self-doubt sneaks in like a sneaky little shadow.
On a mission to find out who she’s “supposed” to be, Josie tries being a squirrel, a bird, even a hippo… and fails spectacularly in the funniest ways. Luckily, her best friend Una the Unicorn is right beside her, offering questionable coaching, powerful support and a collection of bottom burps so magical they could probably start a small storm.
As Josie accidentally rediscovers her true strengths, she learns that sensitivity is actually a superpower and that her brilliance never really disappeared. It was just waiting quietly for her to remember it.
This uplifting, laugh-out-loud safari adventure is perfect for little legends who sometimes doubt themselves, feel big feelings or forget just how extraordinary they truly are.
And yes… there are farts. So. many. farts.
Tune in, snuggle up and let your little one’s confidence roar again.
