    The Tears of Prunella | Bedtime Story for Sleep (Drift Back) Feb 24, 2026
    Show notes

    Tonight I’m sharing a Drift Back episode — a return to The Tears of Prunella, a tender and dreamy fairytale that many of you may remember… and some of you may be hearing for the very first time. If you’re new here, Drift Back episodes are gentle revisits to stories from the archives. They offer a chance to settle into something familiar, or to discover a quiet gem from earlier days of the podcast.

    The Tears of Prunella is a soft and wistful bedtime story, filled with feeling and quiet magic — the kind of tale meant to be listened to slowly, as the day comes to a close. So dim the lights, get comfortable, and allow this soothing bedtime story to help you rest, unwind, and drift toward sleep.

    I’ll be back next week with something new.

    With love,
    Joanne

    The Good Little Mouse | A Gentle Bedtime Story for Sleep Feb 17, 2026
    Show notes

    Hello sleepy friends! Tonight’s story is The Good Little Mouse, a classic, vintage fairy tale by Madame D'Aulnoy.

    As always, we’ll begin with a short relaxation to help you settle in, followed by a calm narration of the story. Some parts of the original text have been lightly adapted to make the story flow more smoothly for listening, while staying true to the heart of the original tale.

    This is a gentle, traditional fairy tale about kindness, patience, and quiet goodness, shared here in a soft, sleepy way to help you relax and drift off.

    Get yourself comfortable, allow your breathing to slow, and let the story unfold as you rest.

    Sweetest dreams,
    Joanne

    Music in this episode is 'Walk in the Forest' (Epidemic Sound).
