Welcome to a behind-the-scenes peek at our very first live show, in which several things will happen.
You'll feel good, and you'll still fall asleep.
I'm Catherine Nicolai.
Friends, pardon me for bumping into your podcast feed.
I'm going to use my sleepy voice, so it might still knock you out.
On Wednesday, November 19th, at 6 p.m. Pacific, 9 p.m. Eastern,
we will take you into the village of nothing much for a special live event.
I'll be telling three stories that hold a special place in my heart
and mark turning points in my own journey as a writer.
One of them has never been heard on the podcast before.
Aya Ayl, this lovely, tender-hearted singer that I've been lucky enough to connect with,
will serenade us with lullabies.
Her voice is like a warm embrace.
Bob will be there to supply a soundscape as we go
and to make us laugh with a blooper-filled game.
There will be lots of extras.
You could win a beautiful package of bath products
from Windsor Grace Apothecary.
We have five to give away.
There's a new coloring page,
there are journal prompts, and more.
And if you're unable to attend it live,
I'm looking at you, Europe and Australia.
You'll get the video to enjoy soon after the show ends.
And I want to share a little about what inspired me to put this together.
About 10 years ago, I got a phone call that changed my life.
It challenged me to think about the mark my life would make in the world
and the dreams that I was neglecting.
Because of that moment and a promise I made, I am here, talking to you now from the biggest sleep podcast in the world.
Because of it, my book was published in over 30 countries.
I run a whole creative team of really lovely people who genuinely care about making, at least this corner of the world, kinder.
So many of my wildest dreams came true that I regularly have to dream wilder.
So if you could use a little inspiration, a bit of support to getting your own dreams on track,
if you feel kind of worn out by the world and need to be reminded of goodness and laughter and ordinary magic,
I personally extend this invitation.
Maybe this is the phone call you need to take right now.
The years will pass either way, right?
Whether we use them or not.
So put on your softest pajamas.
Grab a blanket, a cup of tea, or a cat,
and sit back, and let us tell you some stories.
Let us play you some songs.
let us make you laugh and smile and remember that there is still so much good in the world
and so many friends yet to make.
