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.

Crafting Self-Care with Love: Kirsty Hagen on Essential Earthing
In this episode of the Rest Easy Expo podcast, I chat with Kirsty Hagen, the founder of Essential Earthing, a beautiful business dedicated to crafting natural self-care products with love. Kirsty shares the inspiring story of why she started her business, and how she uses the emotional characteristics of essential oils to create her unique recipes and blends. We discuss the importance of being mindful of what we put on our bodies, especially when it comes to self-care products, and why the harsh chemicals in commercially made options can have negative effects. Kirsty explains how her handcrafted products offer a pure, more nourishing alternative. She also gives us a sneak peek at her range of products, which will be available at Rest Easy Expo.
