Walton Goggins Teams Up with Calm for Dreamy Sleep Story
Actor Walton Goggins, known for his role on HBO’s “The White Lotus,” has ventured into a new realm of relaxation by collaborating with the meditation app Calm. He lends his distinctive voice to a new Sleep Story titled The Yard Sale, designed to guide listeners into a peaceful slumber.
New Approach to Relaxation
Goggins announced this project through a post on his verified Instagram account. He shared a thoughtful reflection, stating, “A friend once said to me the first question you ask someone shouldn’t be, ‘How are you?’ but rather, ‘How did you sleep last night?’ I agree.” His sentiment underscores the importance of mental well-being and restful sleep.
About The Yard Sale
In his calming narrative, Goggins encourages listeners to let go of their stress and invites them to visualize themselves relaxing, whether tucked in bed or climbing into a hammock. He humorously added, “I wouldn’t do that because I’ve never gracefully got in or out of one.”
The inspiration behind The Yard Sale stems from Goggins’ personal enjoyment of browsing at yard sales, where one can stumble upon unexpected treasures. He aims to create a “dreamlike” experience that gently guides listeners’ thoughts and slows their racing minds.
Celebrity Contributions to Calm
Walton Goggins joins a lineup of celebrities who have narrated Sleep Stories on Calm, including Dolly Parton and the late Jimmy Stewart, whose voice was featured in a Calm Christmas Sleep Story utilizing generative AI technology.
Goggins’ Role in “The White Lotus”
While fans eagerly await new episodes of “The White Lotus,” where Goggins portrays a particularly troubled character, his venture into storytelling provides a refreshing contrast. His character reveals considerable stress, contributing to some of the season’s dramatic moments, such as freeing a group of snakes.
Conclusion
With The Yard Sale, Walton Goggins aims to enhance personal relaxation through soothing narrative techniques. As the importance of mental health continues to gain recognition, Goggins’ work with Calm supports the need for accessible avenues to achieve peace and tranquility in our daily lives.
