The Rain Maiden: A Sleepy Bedtime Story with Rain Sounds for Sleep

Welcome to Drift Off, where tonight, we have a beautiful fairy tale to lull you to sleep. I’m Joanne, and I’m so happy to have you here with me. In tonight’s episode, I’ll be reading a story called The Rain Maiden by Mary De Morgan. This enchanting tale weaves together elements of nature, love, and mystery, with the kind of gentle storytelling and rain sounds perfect for drifting off into peaceful sleep.I also wanted to let you know that I’m currently facing a sudden and serious family health crisis involving my daughter Emily which is impacting my ability to prepare and edit episodes as I would like. Over the next few weeks...if an episode isn’t posted as scheduled, please know it may be due to these stressful circumstances. I deeply appreciate your understanding and patience during this challenging time and I am grateful for your support. Thank you for being here and I look forward to sharing more sleepy stories with you here on Drift Off.Goodnight my friend and sweet dreams!Rain Sounds via Epidemic SoundThis podcast is 100% listener-supported, completely ad-free, and made possible by wonderful listeners like you.
