Welcome to bedtime stories for grown-ups, in which nothing much happens.

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nicolai.

I write and read all the stories you hear on nothing much happens, with audio engineering

by Bob Witter-Shine.

I love to tuck you in at night, but I'm also here for you during the day.

My 10-minute meditation podcast, First This, is a simple guided practice to help you feel

centered and clear-headed.

Find it anywhere you listen to podcasts.

You can also get your very own with audio engineering by Bob Witter-Shine Hoody.

Find other cozy merch, subscribe to our ad-free and bonus episodes, and listen to some

special extras at nothingmuchappens.com.

Just like your body needs a bed to rest in, your mind needs a quiet nest to settle into,

so that it doesn't wander around keeping you up at night.

And that's what this story provides.

It's a simple, sweet place to rest your thoughts.

Now, I'll tell our story twice, and I'll go a bit slower the second time through.

If you find yourself still awake at the end of the first or second telling, don't worry.

Take your mind back to the beginning of the story, and walk yourself back through whatever

you can remember.

Especially, any bit that felt cozy or enjoyable.

This is a kind of training for your brain.
