Finals stress, racing thoughts, and endless screen time — sound familiar? In this episode, the Holistic Kids welcome Kathryn Nicolai, host of Nothing Much Happens (200 million downloads and counting), to break down the science of sleep, storytelling, and nervous system regulation. Kathryn shares how she turned a childhood habit of telling herself bedtime stories into one of the world's most listened-to sleep podcasts — and why it works for teens just as much as adults.
You'll learn:
- Why your brain struggles to "turn off" after a stressful day
- What stress cycles are and how stories help close them
- How imagination and creativity support emotional healing
- A simple "panic button" breathing technique to calm anxiety fast
- What true rest really looks like (hint: you don't need to be perfect at it)
Whether you're cramming for finals, dealing with anxiety, or just can't seem to fall asleep — this episode is your permission slip to slow down, breathe, and let a story carry you to rest.
