Dee hosts No Rush Now, a sleep story podcast for anyone whose mind tends to run faster than their body wants to slow down. Each episode is a gentle, unhurried story. No drama, no cliffhangers, nothing to solve. Just small, everyday moments told slowly, with nowhere urgent to go. The No Rush Now sleep stories draws on two worlds. There's the Australia Dee lives in now - verandahs, gum trees, magpies calling in the early morning, the quiet of an arvo settling into evening. And woven through it, memories of the India she grew up visiting - chai brewing on the stove, fragrant jasmine flowers, a courtyard where crows would visit for scraps of roti, and a grandmother who practiced presence long before Dee had a word for it. Her stories are inspired by teachers like the late Thich Nhat Hanh, who believed that even the smallest act, done with full attention, can become its own kind of meditation. Making tea. Folding washing. Walking to the letterbox. Nothing needs to happen for something to matter. Threaded through each episode are quiet and effortless moments of mindfulness - noticing the breath, softening the body, feeling the ground beneath you - simple invitations back into the present, and toward rest. Dee created No Rush Now for the people who lie awake replaying their day, who need somewhere soft to land. Her voice isn't here to entertain you. It's here to keep you gentle company until sleep finds you on its own.
