In this soul-soothing episode of The Happya Life Podcast, trauma-informed positive psychology coach and therapist Clare Deacon invites you to rethink everything you’ve been told about rest, productivity, and worth.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for slowing down, or wondered why rest feels so uncomfortable, you’re not alone. Clare unpacks how our culture’s obsession with busyness and overachievement is often rooted in trauma, anxiety, and the need to prove our value.

You’ll learn:
✨ Why rest isn’t a reward, it’s a requirement
✨ How overworking can be a trauma response
✨ The neuroscience of rest and its link to creativity, healing, and performance
✨ Simple, trauma-informed ways to embrace ease without guilt
✨ Why your worth is not tied to how much you do

Whether you’re listening between meetings, during the school run, or miraculously, while taking an actual rest, this episode offers both compassion and practical guidance for finding balance beyond burnout.

💛 Ready to redefine what it means to be productive and well? Let rest be your revolution.
