Why is it so hard to rest? : Dr. Malie Coyne

Topics covered : Rest, nervous system regulation, connection, guilt, awareness, balance, parenting, burnout, self compassion.

For my final episode before the summer break, I'm joined by chartered clinical psychologist, author and psychology lecturer, Dr Malie Coyne.

Why do so many of us find it so difficult to rest?

Malie explores our relationship with rest and why, in a world that celebrates busyness, so many of us struggle to switch off.

Malie lives in Galway with her husband, Pete, and their two daughters, Jessica (14) and Aimée (12) and she first joined me on the podcast during the pandemic, helping us navigate one of the most uncertain periods of our lives.
