Carlie Tabone You are never alone and it does get better. Please don’t feel hopeless or helpless and if you are feeling that way I urge you to find a trusted friend or counselor to talk to. I can refer you to someone in your area for no cost if you tell me what area you live in. You’re a child of God and He loves you! Peace and blessings for your sweet soul ❤️❤️😊

@@chrisnam1603 thank you Chris!!

[@CoffinNeAler]

My wife and I really enjoyed falling asleep to your story. Actually this, a real story, helps much more than the other "cliche" relax, let go sleep talks... I really hope you can find more short stories to add to your collection. We look for new ones every night. You're in our top 2. Not many good videos out there. Just wanted to let you know you're doing it right. :-) Have a wonderful day... time for me to listen to you and go to sleep... thank you

[@MsKmontero]

Who agrees that it'd be awesome if she did more vintage fairy tales! Please!

[@GEORGIOARCADE]

Yeah i definitely agree! I'm pretty sure my motherly friend will have more of these to come 😊👍

[@dravsoni]

Definitely

I wish she would do episodes of Good Times or The Jeffersons..or real life mafia scenes..hmm ..everyone needs to relax..ty and get some sleep ..ohh and documentary of UFOs 💙🤯🤫

[@d.jalecarpentier1230]

Yes they are lovely definately more xx

[@albertmoreno6947]

I mean this in the most positive and sincerest way possible - I have never made it to the end of any of your stories - I'm falling sleep much faster and my sleep is truly peaceful - much love and peace to you.

[@kimmaro8434]

Hi.... I just found your life changing videos. I have suffered for 4 years with insomnia I also have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder so I can easily go 5 straight days with out getting any sleep. Medication really doesn't help me but I tried 2 nights ago and the first night I fell asleep with minutes so then anytime I woke up I would just start it over again and I slept more in one night than I usually do in a week I had the same excellent results last night. I can thank you enough❤🤗

[@relaxforawhile]

Oh wow Kim!! This makes me so happy to hear!! Not being able to sleep can make us feel worse! You deserve to sleep and rest and knowing that my videos have helped you really made my day. Thanks for sharing your experience and I wish you many more peaceful sleepy nights ahead!! xo

[@Shar1022]

I had to take meds to put me to sleep every nite & still I’d wake up several times during the nite & have difficulties falling back to sleep....&, I aways had morning grogginess... which isn’t pleasant. Now, after listening to ur soothing voice, I’m instead, lulled to sleep, & I can’t tell u how much this has improved my quality of life during the daytime! No pill taken internally can possibly compare to the feelings of peace & relaxation I feel listening to the soothing words spoken in this story, as I soon drift off to sleep. I’ve never slept this good b4! If only I’d known about this sooner. The quality of our sleep is SO very important to our physical well being. Thank u SO VERY MUCH for helping improve MY quality of sleep. I sure hope u continue reading lovely stories like this! 👍

[@georgia673]

These have really helped me with my panic attacks, thank you

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you a million times!!! Who knew I needed story time in order to fall asleep as an adult? I sure didn't. But guess what -- I'm sleeping sooner, better, longer and I wake up every now and again *BEFORE* my alarm even goes off - OMG!!! No more insomnia!! This.is.HUGE!!! My sleep is better, my life is better, I feel better, my world spins easier.........I don't ever want to go back to what life was like before you, bedtime stories and how much EXTRA you have brought to me and my life in SO many ways!!

Ohh this is the adult soothing no holding back version of little mermaid huh Mom? 😄💙💫🌊 Joanne i really dig that magical flowy sea with the girl in the background. I think she's eyeing me lol. Also the bubbly water sounds i occasionally hear is sweet. I love this version of the story. It's cool to have an alternative what if ending & it's meant to entertain not to be taking super serious. The main female character was very bold to step out on family tradition like that lol. Mom you always tell the best stories & here you didn't disappoint. I have lipton green tea here & i offer you some along with blessful days ahead. Sleep well xoxo🍵

@@relaxforawhile this reply made my day when I read this to my wife she said "I like how you read it in her tone" cus your voice is so soft and gentle and I suffer from GAD really bad so your videos help me out a lot both mentally and emotionally. Just one small request since you may see this... Can you do more vintage fairy tales? I had to listen to the Little Mermaid 15x cus 😱 that is insane how much Disney changed it and being 39-40 means I can actually remember TLM as a little boy cus my mom ran a day care so she always had Disney VHS playing. What else has Disney changed? I'd love to see an entire playlist dedicated strictly for Vintage Fairy tales, my wife and I love it. I'm so sorry I wrote TLDR, Im just super excited that You've replied to me again, most KZbinrs don't reply back but you're different. The other day you put out a short about a snowman ☃️ falling down and getting back up, i loved it. I have fallen down so hard in 13yrs and it's taking everything I have and more to get back up . Thank you Joanne. 🫂

[@lindsayr6208]

[@GJoon]

Hi Joanne, I love your work! Emma recently posted something about COPPA the FDA and KZbin and kids. She was saying that there are fines for videos that 'may' be for kids. I know your story is not for kids... But just a suggestion to make it even more clear..do not say, ' not recommended fir kids'... Maybe: not for children more upfront. Just a thought! Now I am going to listen to the story... Thank you. This is Golly Joon :)

[@relaxforawhile]

That was before more updated and more accurate information came out. Everything is going to be fine with COPPA :) Thanks for your concern though. I really do appreciate it!

What is a vintage fairy tale?

[@relaxforawhile]

These are the "origional" versions of the fairy tales we know today and were written in the 1800's and eary 1900's. Many of them do not always have happen endings like the Disney versions of the same story. Some also include violent actions and names or words that would be considered offensive in our modern day.

[@hannanehstm9514]

@@relaxforawhile wow offensive in our modern day? I thought modern day is more offensive than past... And aren't fairly tales supposed to be for kids ? Even if they are ancient, they used to tell them to kids
