i've conducted an experiment in which i've assessed wellbeing and psychological resources (such as self-efficacy and motivation) at various timepoints (before and after an intervention). While both wellbeing and psychological resources have increased, when running an regression analysis (in which psych resources predict wellbeing) the model and none of the predictors are significant. Is this a normal finding within research?

It is "normal" in that variables can show mean increases across time yet not be correlated with each other. For example, your intervention may have led to a mean increase in both psychological resources and well-being, yet psychological resources may not predict well-being.
