In this episode of Steph and the Sleepytime Crew, meet Ollie the Otter—a sensitive, big-hearted little guy who finds school a bit overwhelming. Saying goodbye to Mum is hard. The classroom is loud. The playground is wild. And Ollie feels everything—his classmates’ moods, his teacher’s stress, even the squeaky chairs and the bright lights.
But with the help of his invisible Bubble Suit, his calm teacher’s aide Mrs. Puffin, his trusty stuffed toy Mini Mysterio, and the magical Snuggle String that connects him to Mum all day long… Ollie learns how to stay calm, feel safe, and remember that his feelings won’t last forever.
This gentle story is perfect for kids who struggle with separation anxiety, emotional overload, or school jitters. It includes soothing breath cues, playful rhymes, nervous system-friendly routines, and a warm, reassuring message:
You are safe. You are loved. And the people who care about you always come back.

Hi, I’m Steph — a mum to a sensitive little guy and an energy therapist who works with kids to regulate their nervous systems (as well as adults!). I know how important it is that every child feels safe, seen, and loved just as they are. I created Steph and the Sleepytime Crew to help kids wind down with stories that spark giggles, build confidence, and support emotional and social wellbeing — one bedtime at a time.
Thanks for listening and letting me and the Sleepytime Crew be part of your family’s night-time routine!
