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.

The Power of Stories: How WikiSleep is Changing the Way We Drift Off
In this episode, I chat with with Adrien Sala, the creative mind behind WikiSleep—an innovative sleep app designed for curious minds.
Born out of a personal need during the pandemic, WikiSleep blends storytelling with calming content to help listeners drift off effortlessly.
Adrien shares his journey from reading Wikipedia pages over soothing music to creating a growing library of content designed to distract the mind and guide it gently into rest.
We explore the principles behind WikiSleep’s unique approach, why it’s a passion project, and how it’s different from other sleep apps.
Tune in for insights into the power of stories for relaxation and tips on overcoming sleep challenges from someone who’s been there. Whether you’re a restless thinker or a curious soul, this episode has something to help you find your way to better sleep.
