Hey Jeffrey here and welcome back to Nightfall's.

I wanted to start tonight by saying a huge thank you to our new premium subscribers who have

joined this week. I'm so grateful for your support. We've got some great episodes coming up on the premium feed this month,

and I can't wait for you to hear them. And if you've not checked out premium, you can find out more

about our ad-free listening and bonus episodes in the show notes. There's something about

summer that always feels a little magical.

Maybe it's the longer days, the warm evenings, or just the way time seems to stretch and slow down,

at least when we're really present to enjoy it.

But blink and poof, it's gone.

That's how it helps to stop, take a breath,

and let your imagination wonder.

Tonight we're stepping into a world full of that kind of wonder, where fairies and wizards

rub shoulders in palace ballrooms and where a young princess has decided she's not waiting

around for a prince.

Instead, she's diving into her magical studies.

Only when she tries out a new spell on her own,

things take an unexpected turn as her bed runs away into the night.

Before we begin, here's the quick ad break that keeps this free content possible. To go ad free,

subscribe via the link in the show notes. All right, now back to Night Falls.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose. Feel the cool air entering your body as if you're drawing in a gentle, luminous spell.

Hold it for a moment, letting the magic settle in your chest.

Now exhale slowly through your mouth, imagining the breath, carrying away any tension from your day.
