How to Create Micro-Moments of Rest in a Busy Day with Shannon A Swales, Clinical Psychologist

Rest isn’t something we earn at the end of the to-do list — it’s something we can gently weave into the middle of our lives. In this solo episode, Shannon explores how to create micro-moments of rest in the midst of busyness — small, compassionate pauses that help the nervous system soften and restore. She unpacks the myth of “enough time,” redefines what rest can look like in real life, and shares practical ways to experiment with different kinds of rest — from sensory and emotional to creative and spiritual. Drawing on Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith’s “Seven Types of Rest,” Shannon offers real-world strategies for women who find stillness difficult, feel guilty resting, or are learning to regulate rather than run on overdrive. Because rest isn’t just a reward — it’s regulation, renewal, and remembering your humanity. 🌻 Host: Shannon Swales: Psychologist, writer, and midlife woman who’s walked through burnout and come out the other side. Shannon combines clinical wisdom with lived experience to support others navigating chronic stress, burnout, and big life transitions. Through gentle conversations and evidence-based insights, she helps women reconnect with themselves, reclaim their energy, and grow through what once felt like breaking points.
