    Hello friends! Here is a new bedtime story for you tonight :) I hope this offers you something else to focus on other than the usual stress and worries you may be feeling right now. The "no music version" is coming shortly!! For some reason the uploading process has been really slow today.
    P.S. Thank you all for your kind words and support regarding my daughter's health crisis. She is getting better and I am also no so stressed! It really meant a lot to read your comments and it helped me get through! Hope you enjoy this :)

    THANK YOU FOR GETTING ON WITH THE STORY WITHOUT A BUNCH OF BREATH WORK AND RELAXATION STUFF WHICH SHOULD BE LEFT TO LICENSED HYPNOTHERAPSTS.
    I like letting the story put me into trance.

    I’m sure these are really nice stories but if I’m being honest I never get more than 10 minutes in because I’m always asleep by then. I have no idea what this story is about! Maybe I’ll find out another 10 minutes tonight 😅

    New subscriber here, and though you likely won't see this Joanne, I still feel compelled to tell you all the same. This channel is a Godsend, and something I wish I'd found much sooner. I've struggled all my life with my ADHD addled brain not wanting to shut down at night due to _constant_ stress which, more often than not, causes some seriously awful dreams. However, your voice, along with these stories, has irrevocably changed _all_ of that. Now, for the first time in my life, I no longer dread laying down at night.
    There just aren't enough ways to say thank you, but I need to do so regardless. Seriously. Thank you, Joanne. From the bottom of my heart. ❤

      oh wow this really made my day reading this!! I really believe our brain learns to make associations with repeated patterns. I am so glad to hear that maybe when you hear the stories or my spoke word that your brain associates this with relaxation and sleep. Thanks for sharing your experience! Many blessings Joanne do

    What a beautiful and calming bedtime story for grown ups! The soft spoken narration coupled with the gentle background music creates a soothing and peaceful ambiance that is perfect for winding down and preparing for a restful night's sleep. Andrew Lang's "The Mermaid and The Boy" is a classic tale that adds to the charm and timelessness of this bedtime story. It's amazing how such a simple activity as listening to a bedtime story can nurture our inner child and help us relax into a deep slumber. So, if you're in need of some peaceful sleep, this bedtime story is definitely worth a listen. Sweet dreams!

    Hey Joanne, I have a bit of a request. Do you think it's possible to make a video about calming someone down from paranoia? I personally really enjoy watching videos about horror related content (try as I might, I just find true crime and mysteries very interesting and I can't help but watch them because I'm a naturally curious person) during the day and sometimes the most scariest things come back to haunt me right before bed, making it exponentially harder for me to fall asleep. I also have a lot of PTSD and sometimes my trauma comes back in the form of nightmarish thoughts and that also makes it very hard to fall asleep. This is probably a weird request but I thought I'd give it a shot.
    Hope your daughter is feeling better!

So i listen thru the whole mermaid problem and i really liked it :)
