My daughters love to listen to your stories as we are cuddling in bed. It is their favorite part of bedtime!

Alyssa Curtis · Aug 2025

I can’t recommend this podcast enough! It has been so wonderful for bedtime with our rambunctious toddlers. They actually look forward to story time in bed and it helps calm them down. Their favorite story is the pancake one, they ask for it every night :) Thank you Steffani for sharing your gift of story telling, looking forward to more episodes!

JaceyN1 · Jun 2025

Listening to the first story with my family was so wonderful. Steffani’s voice was relaxing and engaging. We loved the song about the caterpillar wishing she were a butterfly, the relaxation at the end, and the message of having everything you need inside of you to make your dreams come true. We are excited to listen to more stories from Wink!
