Welcome to a special, longer episode of Bedtime Stories for Everyone, in which slightly more happens, you feel good, and then you fall asleep. I'm Catherine Nicolai. I write and read all the stories you hear on Nothing Much Happens. Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim. We give to a different charity each week. And this week, we are giving to a well-fed world. A well-fed world is one in which all people have an abundance of nourishing plant-based foods that maximize health for people, animals, and the planet. You can learn more about them in our show notes. Many of you have asked for longer episodes and we're bringing them to you.
Once a month, we will give you a two to three story episode here on the free feed and a five to six story episode over on our premium feed. In fact, on Premium, we regularly publish episodes that are over nine hours long, and we're always adding more. So if that sounds helpful or joyful to you, you can subscribe for just 10 cents a day, and you'll be absolutely swimming in bonus content. Learn more at nothingmuchappens.com. Now, just as with our regular episodes, these stories are simply a soft place to occupy your mind and keep it steady so that you can drift off. All you need to do in order for this to be effective is to listen. I'll tell the stories twice, and I'll go a little slower the second time through.
If you wake later in the night,
What makes a cottage different from a cabin?
don't hesitate to just start them over. Our stories tonight have us packing up the car and heading out of town to the cottage. They are stories about lounge chairs and lazy days, sailboats and swimsuits, and listening to the waves as they rock you to sleep. I spend a lot of time reading labels and researching wellness products. And one thing I've learned is that some companies are much better at talking about sustainability than actually practicing it. Pretty packaging and green-colored labels are easy, but doing the work is harder. That's one of the reasons I've enjoyed getting to know Nature's Sunshine. They don't just talk about caring for the planet. They sustainably source ingredients and manufacture their supplements using 100% solar power.
I've been using their Marine Glow and Brain Edge, and what stands out to me is the thoughtfulness behind both products and the company itself. It's nice to find a wellness brand that seems to put as much care into how things are made as what goes into them. Try Nature's Sunshine and experience the difference with supplements that are better for you and the planet.
