If you're listening, you know self-care is vital for overall wellness,

but it can be hard to prioritize yourself and ask for what you need.

If you're a veteran going through a tough time,

there are people who want to listen and help with no pressure or judgment.

Welcome to Bedtime for grown-ups,

in which nothing much happens.

You feel good, and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai.

I write and read all the stories you hear on Nothing Much Happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim. My book, also called Nothing Much Happens, is available wherever books are sold.

You've asked for an ad-free version of the podcast, for more stories more frequently.

And very kindly, you've asked how you can show your support for what Bob and I create,

and we listened.

For just a few dollars a month, you can get access to all seven seasons of nothing much happens,

with zero ads and a bonus episode every month that won't be available anywhere else.

The first bonus episode is already there waiting for you.

It's called Mother Nature, and I can't wait for you to fall asleep listening to it.

We have a special Founder's Price, only available for a short time, so don't miss out.

Sign up right now at Nothing Much Happens.com.

Now, I'm going to tell you a story.
