Hi everyone. My name is Otis Gray and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast where I read old books to help you get to sleep.

And we got a really nice classic reading for you tonight, an old story by Jane Austen.

Well, before we get to our bedtime reading, I just want to say that this episode is very proudly sponsored by BetterHow.

Affordable Private Online Counseling, you can get anywhere anytime.

Going to therapy has really helped me with my personal sleep issues very ironically.

And this is why I've teamed up with BetterHow because they offer broad expertise and accessible

counselors you can talk to that specialize in very specific areas. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety,

stress, depression, relationships, trauma, or sleeping, BetterHow has licensed professionals

for you to connect with and anything you share is confidential. You can use different ways to

communicate with your counselor based on your needs, availability, and convenience. Text, chat, video,

you'll get quick and thoughtful responses and also, financially is available for those who qualify.

So many people have been using BetterHow lately that they're recruiting additional counselors in

all 50 states. And I am so thankful for BetterHow support of the show and so many other podcasts

because they have introduced a lot of people to therapy for the first time in a time where we all

could really use someone to talk to. And they've made countless people happy by doing so.

Which is pretty amazing. So start living a happier life today.
