Sarah's Bedtime Stories

I used to think good days had to be big—celebrations, achievements, and special moments. The kind that makes you really happy.But as the years passed, that idea slowly changed.In this episode of Sarah’s Bedtime Stories, I share how my good days became quieter. How happiness started to show up in simple moments—warm food, familiar routines, being at home, and feeling calm.This is a story about learning to enjoy ordinary days. About realizing that joy doesn’t always need big events. Sometimes, a good day is just a peaceful one.So now I want to ask you—what is a good day for you?More ordinary days turned into good days in my books.

If someone asked you what you want for your birthday…would “just be there” be enough?In this episode of Sarah’s Bedtime Stories, I talk about the gift of presence—showing up for birthdays, milestones, and even ordinary days. The kind of love that doesn’t always come in words or wrapped gifts, but in being there.This is a story about friends who choose to show up. About quiet celebrations, shared songs, and moments where you don’t need to talk to feel loved. About realizing that sometimes, presence really is the present.If you believe that being there matters more than gifts, you might want to read my books too.📖 Finding Good Every Dayhttps://www.8lettersbooks.com/shop/finding-good-every-day-kiddo/📖 30 Ways Love Found Mehttps://www.8lettersbooks.com/shop/30-ways-love-found-me-kiddo-poetry/💌 Stay connected with KiddoFor updates, new episodes, and little stories in between, follow Sarah’s Bedtime Stories:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sarahsbedtimestories/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_sarahsbedtimestories/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@_sarahsbedtimestories🎤 For talks, seminars, and collaboration invites📩 sarahsbedtimestories@gmail.com

Have you ever remembered something special…but couldn’t remember how it felt anymore?In this episode of Sarah’s Bedtime Stories, I talk about missing childhood in a quiet way. The kind of missing that shows up when you watch old films, think about summer break, or remember the Kiddo you used to be.Inspired by Studio Ghibli films, I look back on kiddo summers—playing outside, watching cartoons, having small crushes, and enjoying days that felt slow and happy.As we grow up, some feelings slowly fade. Not because they were not real, but because life changes. People move away. Schedules change. We grow.This episode is about remembering without forcing the feeling back. About knowing that even if the feeling is gone, the childhood was still good. Still real. Still part of you.If you love stories that will remind you of moments in your childhood, you might want to read my books too 🤍📖 Finding Good Every Dayhttps://www.8lettersbooks.com/shop/finding-good-every-day-kiddo/📖 30 Ways Love Found Mehttps://www.8lettersbooks.com/shop/30-ways-love-found-me-kiddo-poetry/💌 Stay connected with KiddoFor updates, new episodes, and little stories in between, follow Sarah’s Bedtime Stories here:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sarahsbedtimestories/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_sarahsbedtimestories/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@_sarahsbedtimestories🎤 For talks, seminars, and collaboration invites📩 sarahsbedtimestories@gmail.com

Have you ever looked at an old photo and suddenly smiled without knowing why?In this episode of Sarah’s Bedtime Stories, I go back to old pictures, ordinary days, and the versions of me I once kept hidden. Moments I didn’t think were special back then, but later realized were proof of life—proof of how I lived, loved, and grew.This is a gentle reminder that the present is precious, even when it feels normal. That selfies, journals, and small moments matter more than we think.If you love stories that help you remember what’s precious, you might want to read my books too:📖 Finding Good Every Dayhttps://www.8lettersbooks.com/shop/finding-good-every-day-kiddo/📖 30 Ways Love Found Mehttps://www.8lettersbooks.com/shop/30-ways-love-found-me-kiddo-poetry/Stay connected with KiddoFor updates, new episodes, and little stories in between, follow Sarah’s Bedtime Stories here:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sarahsbedtimestories/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_sarahsbedtimestories/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@_sarahsbedtimestoriesFor talks, seminars, and collaboration invites:sarahsbedtimestories@gmail.comLet’s keep sharing stories, memories, and the little moments together 🤍✨

There are places we want to go back to.People we miss.Memories we still carry.In this episode of Sarah’s Bedtime Stories, I revisit my younger years—the Kiddo I used to be and the Kiddo I’m still becoming. I look back on childhood memories, simple moments, and the parts of me that shaped who I am today.Sometimes, it’s the Kiddo in me that gives me the answers I’ve been looking for.This episode is about acknowledging the Kiddo in me and celebrating how proud I am of the Kiddo she was, the Kiddo she is, and the Kiddo she can be. A soft, comforting story about nostalgia, growing up, and learning to listen to your inner child.For anyone who misses their younger self and wants to come home to it—gently.

When I was younger, I thought reunions were only for families. But as I get older, I realized… reunions also happen with friends. And sometimes, those moments feel even more special.In this episode, I share stories about seeing people who once felt like home — the friends who still feel the same, and the friends who don’t anymore.There’s joy, there’s a bit of sadness, and there’s that quiet reminder that we all grow in different ways.Which friendships in your life feel like “nothing has changed,” and which ones gently showed you that “everything has changed”? ______________________________Looking for more comforting stories?Read Kiddo’s book, 30 Ways Love Found Me — a heartwarming collection of real moments, quiet love, and everyday joy.

Growing up, I always thought a “friend” simply meant someone who stayed with you in good times and bad. But as I got older, I realized there are different types of friends. Some friendships last, some don’t—and that’s something I’ve often talked about in my podcast episodes about friendship and growing up.But in this episode, something felt different. I realized how great friendship truly is. That even in friendships, just like any relationship, you want to keep the ones that feel safe, warm, and real. You want them to last. You want them to be forever.But how? Especially now, when it’s so easy to cut people off, walk away, or choose distance.Here’s my story on how a friend of mine made me feel that our friendship matters—that it’s something worth choosing, nurturing, and keeping.

Ever since I was young, I always wanted to keep my youthful vibe. I wanted to stay forever young. But as the years passed, I realized there will always be moments that remind you you’re growing older too. And yet, there will also be moments — or people — who remind you that you can still be Kiddo at heart.Get a copy of Finding Good Every Day here:Lazada: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yi5hWJ⁠Shopee: ⁠https://ph.shp.ee/Mq17Mr3
