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.

The Power of Rest – A Chat with Rebecca Roberson from One80Coaching
In this episode, we're joined by Rebecca Roberson from One80Coaching – a returning vendor and speaker from last year’s Rest Easy Expo. We start by reflecting on the beautiful energy of last year’s event—the atmosphere, the community, and what makes Rest Easy so different from your typical expo. Spoiler alert: it’s all about real connection, genuine care, and unapologetic self-care.
Becc shares her refreshing take on rest and self-care, reminding us that rest doesn’t always mean sleep. It might be a quiet moment with a book, a walk alone, journalling your thoughts to ease the mental clutter, or simply doing something that fills your cup. We explore the different kinds of rest and how creating space to slow down can transform your mood and mindset.
We also dive into why we often “don’t have time” for self-care—when really, it comes down to what we value. If we don’t make time for it, it’s likely because we don’t yet see its importance.
You’ll also hear about Becc’s upcoming appearances at this year’s Rest Easy Expo: she’s joining Cassandra Roberts from Finding Your Wild Potential on our panel The Power of Rest, and will be facilitating a group session called Better Moods—a practical and empowering workshop sharing six simple steps to shift your energy and boost your mood in doable, everyday ways.
This chat is a beautiful reminder that rest is powerful, self-care is essential, and you are worthy of both.
Rest Easy Expo is on Sunday 25th May at Pendicup Community Hall, Warner QLD
