In tonight’s story, we meet Isla the Tiger—a clever, focused jungle cub who sees the world a little differently. Isla’s preparing for the Jungle Genius Games with her brilliant crew of friends, each with their own unique brain and way of doing things.

There’s Lizzy the Ladybug, who bounces from thought to thought with hyperactive, sparkly energy… Ziggy the Zebra, who struggles with reading but creates wild jungle songs… Koda the anxious but deeply kind Koala… Lenny the gifted and intense Llama… Coops the careful, order-loving Capybara… and Toby the Tree Frog, whose steady neurotypical brain helps him connect with all kinds of minds.

Together, they discover that different doesn’t mean less—and that the best teams are made of brains that shine in their own way.

This story is a joyful, neuro-affirming bedtime adventure that celebrates difference, inclusion, and the quiet magic of being exactly who you are.

Thanks so much for joining use for another adventure with Steph and the Storytime Crew.

I'm Steph, an Integrative Therapist based in Perth, Australia, and I specialise in helping sensitive kids understand their big feelings, regulate their nervous systems and discover just how incredible they truly are.

These stories were born from my own journey as a mum. My son needed a fun, gentle way to understand emotions, friendships, confidence, anxiety, resilience, and all the wonderfully messy parts of growing up. So I started creating stories that could spark conversations, build emotional literacy, and help children feel seen, safe and understood.

If these stories have become a special part of your family's bedtime or your child would benefit from some extra support, I'd love to help. I work with children and families both in person and remotely around the globe through nervous system reset sessions and holistic wellbeing support.

You can find out more, book a session, or explore my other resources at whitespacewellbeing.com.au, or come and say hello on Instagram @whitespace_wellbeing_perth.

Until next time, keep being kind, keep being curious, and always remember... you matter, you belong and you are wonderful exactly as you are.

In this heartfelt episode of Steph and the Sleepytime Crew, we join Oscar the Owl — funny, loyal, and full of feels — as he navigates a tricky friendship that’s starting to feel… not-so-friendly. When his mate Foxy the Flying Fox starts making mean jokes, controlling the game, and putting others down, Oscar feels anxious and unsure. But with help from wise old Nanna Owl and his best friend PJ the Pelican, Oscar learns to listen to his body, stand up for what’s right, and protect his inner sparkle.

This 15-minute story gently explores emotional safety, friendship dynamics, speaking up, and the power of choosing friends who help your candle shine brighter — not blow it out.

Perfect for sensitive kids aged 5–11 who are learning to trust their feelings, use their voice, and value kind, respectful friendships.

In tonight’s story, we meet Noah the Nimbus Dragon—a super clever, deep-feeling cloud-dweller who notices everything. But sometimes, Noah hears a not-so-nice voice in his head that tells him he’s not good enough. This voice, known as Noel the Nasty Narrator, has a lot to say… and none of it is kind.

With help from a wise old friend (yes, Una the Unicorn makes a return!), Noah learns that just because you think something, doesn’t mean it’s true. Especially if it’s coming from a soggy-suited Thought Gremlin with a bad attitude.

This gentle, funny, and empowering episode helps kids recognise self-critical thoughts, name them, reframe them, and take back control of their inner voice. A perfect listen for sensitive kids who feel deeply and think a lot.

In this heartfelt Steph & the Sleepytime Crew adventure, we meet Pip - a determined little Panda with big dreams and even bigger feelings. When her first attempt at roller skating doesn’t go as planned (okay… it’s a complete disaster), Pip spirals into self-doubt, frustration, and one very dramatic panda meltdown.

But with a little help from her wise friend Moxy the Meercat, Pip learns a few powerful lessons:

- Perfection isn’t real
- Mistakes don’t mean you’re failing
- And just because a thought feels true, doesn’t mean it is

This story gently explores how negative self-talk can hold us back, why self-kindness matters when we’re learning something new, and how mistakes aren’t just part of growing up - they’re one of the most important parts of the journey.

A soothing story for kids who struggle with frustration, big feelings, or thinking (and feeling) like they have to get it “right” the first time.

Perfect for bedtime — and imperfect days.

Tonight’s Sleepytime Crew adventure stars Gus the Gorilla, who’s usually a pretty chilled kinda guy... until Pancake Day goes completely wrong.

When someone pushes in front of him in the line and nobody notices how upset he is, Gus tries so hard to hold all those BIG feelings in. But big feelings don’t like being pushed down or ignored, and before long, Gus lets out a roar so loud it shakes the Jungle Junction treetops.

Join Steph and the Sleepytime Crew as Gus learns that anger isn’t something to squash or hide or ignore - it’s something that he needs to move through. With help from his friend, Calmille the Chameleon, Gus discovers a powerful way to feel his feelings without blowing up, and finds out just how good it feels to let the storm pass through him.

This gentle, funny, and relatable story helps kids:
 – Recognise the early signs of anger
 – Understand the role of movement in calming down
 – Learn a simple tool to help manage their anger (M.B.T!)
 – Feel safe and seen in their big emotions

So snuggle in, take a deep breath, and let’s find out how Gus the Gorilla moves from meltdown... to mellow.

Perfect for little legends who’ve had a wobbly day or need help learning how to sit with tricky emotions without getting stuck in them.

Created with love by Steph and the Sleepytime Crew—helping kids wind down with bedtime stories full of big hearts, gentle giggles, and lessons that stick.

Una the Unicorn is full of sparkle, sweetness… and candy-scented farts.
She’s silly, magical, and one-of-a-kind - but when the other unicorns at Sparkle School start making fun of her, Una begins to wonder if she’s just too much.

In this funny and heartwarming bedtime story, kids join Una as she tries to hide her sparkle, fit in, and be “normal.” But in the end, it’s her most embarrassing moment that shows everyone — including Una — just how magical being your true self really is.

This 12-minute wind-down story helps little legends explore themes of self-worth, authenticity, and acceptance, with a generous helping of giggles, glitter, and gently sweet unicorn toots.

Coops, the Capybara is a scooter legend at the local pump track.
He shreds the local pump track like a total pro — flipping, carving, spinning and tailwhipping like nobody’s business.
Kids cheer. Parents watch on in awe. Birds literally stop to watch.

But… Coops doesn’t feel cool.
In fact, he doesn’t feel much of anything except mehhhh.
Because no matter what trick he lands, his brain keeps saying:
“You’re not really that great.”

In this gentle and funny sleep story, Coops learns what self-worth really means — and that it doesn’t come from what you do, but from who you are. With a little help from his mum, some mirror magic, and a few deep scooter-themed breaths, Coops starts to notice his strengths in a brand-new way.

This 11-minute bedtime tale is perfect for sensitive kids, sporty kids, perfectionists, and those who feel “not good enough” — even when they’re amazing.

Steph and the Sleepytime Crew are here to remind your little legend that they’re more than their achievements…
They’re worthy, just as they are.

Let’s roll into rest — with cool as a cucumber, Coops.

Koda the Koala is tired — like, eyelids-drooping, brain-melting, koala-on-the-verge-of-collapse tired.
But there’s just one problem…
His brain will. not. stop. It's so noisy in there.

In this gently silly and soothing sleep story, Koda tries everything to get his bedtime brain to chill out. With a little help, some slow breathing, and the reminder that it's okay to feel a little wobbly at night, Koda finally learns how to feel safe, seen, and settled — just as he is.

Perfect for those little overthinkers, big feelers, and any child who needs a soft landing at the end of the day.

Let’s snuggle in with the Sleepytime Crew…
and follow Koda into dreamland.
