Why can being signed off work feel like you're doing something wrong, even when you know you're genuinely unwell? Resting can become tangled up with guilt, productivity, and self-worth. In this episode of Inner Work, Dr Marianne Trent explores why we compare ourselves to colleagues, feel the need to prove we're ill, struggle to switch off from work, and find it difficult to give ourselves permission to rest and recover.

The Race to Recurring Revenue Challenge 2026
Could you earn money in ways that aren't directly tied to your time?
Whether you're a psychologist, another professional, a business owner or simply someone curious about creating an additional income stream, this FREE four-day challenge could be a brilliant place to start!
Race to Recurring Revenue, hosted by Sophie Foote, runs from 2–5 November 2026 and explores how you could develop ideas for passive and recurring income.
Across four days, you'll explore:
- Different ways to create income beyond one-to-one work.
- How to develop an idea that could become a product, service or recurring income stream.
- Ways to attract the right people and build trust.
- How to start thinking about marketing and launching your ideas.
It's completely FREE, with short daily training sessions and practical activities to help you get started.
I completed the One to Many programme back in 2022, and it helped transform the way I think about my own business and career. I've since developed books, courses, memberships and other ways to share my knowledge beyond individual appointments.
I'd love you to come along and explore what's possible for you too!
