    Our stories today take us through some ways folks in the Village are spending their days and evenings in the early summer. We’ll start by laying the table under the string lights in the garden and pulling up chairs with friends in The Dinner Bell. Then we’ll see where the night takes us, from the park to the lot on the edge of town, with bubbles and blankets in at The Drive-In. Finally, we’ll slow down, take some deep breaths, and reset by arriving Early to Yoga. Subscribe to our Premium channel. The first month is on us. 💙 NMH merch, autographed books, and more!

    Wind, Rain, and Hummingbirds (Encore)
    Jun 16 2025
    Originally presented as Episode 26, June 10, 2024 Our stories today celebrate some of the joys of being outside in the changing weather of the summer. First in Wind and Wildflowers, we’ll hike the trail behind the house, listen for woodpeckers, and watch the grasses sway in the wind. Then in Rain and Shine, we’ll finish up some work in the garden, take a long hot shower, and eat dinner on the porch, as the storm rolls in. Finally, in Hummingbird, after a good night’s sleep, we’ll step outside with a glass of iced coffee and meet the morning and any visitors coming to breakfast from the flowers.

While the village brings me much comfort at night, trips to it also help me ease into my days. I’m excited for this podcast as well.

These are wonderful stories to listen to first thing in the morning for a gentle and positive start to the day. Also great any time of the day. I love to listen to the baking stories when I’m baking and the gardening stories when I garden. It’s a great respite from all the negativity in media. When I start feeling anxious and overwhelmed the village of nothing much is a safe haven.Thank you so much for producing this podcast.

Heart warming stories we need to hear

My days are always extremely full with a wonderful & busy toddler and a job that doesn’t slow down. My favorite way to relax each weeknight is listening to this podcast while doing a jigsaw puzzle — a ritual that just brings me so much peace in the evenings.

Thank you for creating such a lovely, peaceful, and relaxing podcast!

I've been using all of Kathryn''s podcasts for a while now, and they are so effective that they are impacting the lives of people around me. I am sleeping better, so my partner is sleeping better. That in turn creates a better environment for every single thing, place, and person we come across throughout the day. Katheyn''s good vibes are my good vibes are now everybody's good vibes.
