NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Goldminds, the mindfulness-based children's app helping families bring more calm, confidence, and connection to everyday moments, has teamed up with singer, voice actress, and content creator Lauren Paley to create a new collection of original princess bedtime stories designed to put a more meaningful spin on "happily ever after."
Launching October 7 in the Goldminds app, the new collection combines imaginative storytelling, mindfulness and empowering messages for young listeners, with Paley starring as the princess at the heart of the stories and lending her signature vocals to original musical moments throughout.
Known to millions online for her distinctive vocals and performances, Paley brings that same range and theatricality to the collection, giving voice to its central princess and helping create an immersive story world for young listeners. The collaboration pairs Paley's talent with Goldminds' signature soothing, sleep-forward storytelling, helping kids drift off to sleep while absorbing lessons about courage, kindness, and self-belief.
"Getting to bring this princess to life through storytelling and music was so special, especially because the affirmations woven throughout are ones I actually use with my own daughter," said Paley. "I love that kids get all the magic of a princess story while also hearing little reminders to be brave, kind and confident in who they are."
"I created Goldminds because I care deeply about supporting kids' mental and emotional well-being," said Cynthia Arscott, founder of Goldminds. "My goal is to use the power of storytelling to help kids build confidence, emotional resilience, and a strong sense of self from an early age. This collection with Lauren brings that mission to life in such a magical way."
"It can be hard for kids to transition from a busy day to being ready for sleep (and separation from their caregivers!)," said Rachael Shepard-Ohta, sleep expert, Infant-Parent Mental Health Specialist and Chief Social Officer at Goldminds. "Having something that holds their attention while also helping them slow down can make that transition feel much more natural and enjoyable. That's what I love about Goldminds: the stories are engaging enough to draw kids in, while intentionally designed to help them settle and wind down for sleep."
To celebrate the launch, Goldminds, Paley and Shepard-Ohta will bring the storybook world to life in Nashville on October 10, with a Mommy & Me event hosted by Zoe Strollers and featuring Moms Away. Families will step inside the world of the new collection with princess-inspired activities, affirmations, and an opportunity to experience the stories together.
