- Coffee/Autumn World
I love the show, it really works BUT when you talk about fresh brewed coffee, and delicious muffins, it makes me crave both and think about morning time! Not conducive to going to sleep!

This is so boring that my mind wanders away and I stay awake just getting frustrated at how boring and monotonous it is. I switched to a podcast about consciousness instead.

Australia21 days ago - Top 3 podcasts
I’ve been an avid podcast listener for 10 years and this one is in my current top 3. I reliably fall asleep within the first time she tells the story, and also really enjoy the story itself. I go back and listen again if I missed it.
Her description of the simple things also makes me want to slow down and be more mindful; I love her writing it really takes me there

What if you play music that is peaceful that will help people fall asleep even faster in the background of the story! People! It’s the Perfect combo. Or maybe some sound effects would be better like the sound of nature!
