Insomnia? Mind racing at night? Worries keeping you up? Tune in for a bedtime story that lets you forget your problems and progressively gets more boring until you fall to sleep. So get in bed, press play, close your eyes, and drift off into dreamland.
This time around, nature talks back in song as Bernie the Butterfly returns to talk about the chrysalis journeys of us all. Heads up, this episode discusses the musical Spring Awakening, which deals with topics like sexuality and suicide. I discuss these topics in a very sleepy way, but feel free to skip this episode if that’s not your cup of tea. If you are going through a crisis, you can call 988 or chat with someone at 988lifeline.org. The show really needs your help right now.
