I’m tired - but here’s why I’m not giving up.

Hi friends,
I’ve been sitting with some hard questions lately.
How do you keep going when you’ve given your whole heart to a mission...but the system you’re in doesn’t seem built for it?
That’s where I’ve been. Not burned out from the work itself, but from trying to make a soul-led project survive in a world that loves fast, viral, flashy, and surface-level.
And that’s not what The Nap Time Show™ is.
Our show is slow. Intentional. Rooted in rest, representation, and real emotional connection.
Over the past year, we’ve grown our YouTube by over 6,000 subscribers, reached 127,000+ views, and been featured by PBS, Nickelodeon, and The LEGO Foundation. Our team has given out over 1,000 books to families, written original songs, and built something truly beautiful—with very little money, but lots of faith.
What’s next? I’m shifting gears. Less hustle. More alignment. I want to take The Nap Time Show™ on the road, bond with daycares, and finally fund this thing the way it deserves to be funded.
If you’ve ever rooted for me… now is the time to lean in.
Here’s how you can help:
- Share our story with someone in early childhood or media
- Connect me with funders or organizations who value equity + children’s wellness
- Keep watching and encouraging us—it really matters
I believe in this vision with everything in me. Thanks for believing, too.
With love and rest,
Sierra (creator, exec. producer, and...yes...Siesta ☺️)
