The Rest Effect Podcast
The Rest Effect
Brought to you by Rest Easy Collective, The Rest Effect is your go-to podcast for practical rest in modern life. What began as the official podcast of Rest Easy Expo Podcast has now evolved into something deeper — a space to explore the everyday impact of rest, sleep, and self-care.
Hosted by Holly Allen, massage therapist and founder of Rest Easy Collective, each episode offers real conversations, expert insights, and supportive strategies to help you pause, reset, and feel more like yourself again.
From behind-the-scenes chats with wellness professionals to honest stories about burnout, boundaries, and nervous system support — this podcast is here to remind you: rest isn’t a luxury, it’s the starting point.
Because when you make space to rest, everything changes.
Whether you're a long-time listener or just tuning in, don’t worry — all previous episodes are still available, and there’s so much more to come.

Burnout, Balance & Behind the Scenes: Reflections After Rest Easy Expo
In this reflective episode, I open up about my journey following the Rest Easy Expo and the unexpected burnout that followed. It’s often difficult to recognise the signs of exhaustion, especially when you're pouring your heart into something you love and believe in. I share my personal experience with burnout, how I’m working through it, and the lessons I’ve learned about balancing passion with self-care. I’ll also give you a behind-the-scenes look at what’s in the works for next year's Rest Easy Expo and introduce our exciting new online educational series, Sleep Well, Live Well, launching on Saturday, 5th October. This series is designed to help you improve your sleep and overall well-being with expert insights, practical tips, and actionable strategies. Tune in for an honest chat about self-care, burnout, and what’s next!
