About the partnership, Domingo shared via press release: “There’s something deeply human about slowing down long enough to reflect, to feel, and to dream. In my Sleep Story with Calm, I explore how art and memory shape who we are today, and how mentorship and vulnerability can open the door to meaningful change. The story is a meditation on connection and creativity and my hope is that it brings listeners a sense of calm and rest… and maybe even inspires them to explore how they truly feel.”
In related news, the 55-year-old’s latest adventure has been starring in Four Seasons, a new Netflix comedy chronicling a decades-long friendship between three married couples who take yearly vacations together. It boasts an all-star cast including co-starring Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and others.
