Rest to Riches with Mary Houston : Recent Episodes
Mary Houston
Who would you be if you were well rested? How would it feel to create a life of richness by doing less, not more?
Join me, Mary Houston, as I talk about all things money and rest. We’ll be diving into all the things that come from being well rested, as well as all the things that prevent us from claiming the rest - and the riches - that we desire and deserve.
So sit back, relax, and lean in to some conscious conversations about how we can free ourselves from the hustle culture and instead learn to get rich through rest.
This week we dive deeper into the conversation on rest shame - inspired by my awareness of constantly apologising to my postman every time they find me in my pyjamas!
We also look at the difference between our rest story and rest shame - similar to my work on money - you may find this shines a light on your relationship with rest in a whole new way.
Until next week, stay rested!
Hello loves and welcome back to season two of the rest to riches podcast.

Today we are joined by another amazing guest - Shannon Algeo.
Named one of the “35 Under 35 in Wellness to Watch” by Wanderlust, Shannon Algeo is a celebrated speaker, writer, life coach, Yoga Nidra and meditation teacher. His popular podcast SoulFeed features interviews with iconic cultural and spiritual leaders like Deepak Chopra, Caroline Myss, Marianne Williamson, Danielle LaPorte, and many more.
We talk about:
-
How childhood experiences can keep us in the mode of incessant doing & prevent us from resting
-
How trauma and shame can not only keep us from trusting our truth, but also act as pointers to discovering it.
-
Shannon and I discuss our personal experiences of betrayal in relationships, and how our culture of body shaming and social media glamorisation is making it so hard to be in our bodies and trust our gut & intuition.
-
We also explore what it means to feel safe - and unsafe - in our bodies, and how rage can be a sacred blessing and an invitation to self-responsibility and healing.
I hope you enjoy this first of many deep-dives to come.
In todays episode, I'm joined by our very first guest to celebrate Black History Month.
Keisha Dixon is the founder of A Well Experience, Inc., and creator of The Monetize Your Mind Success System. As a single mother of 6, Keisha Dixon walked away from a 6-figure career in Executive Management to guide others to shed self-doubt, increase confidence and step into the most powerful version of themselves.
I invited Keisha to come and join me for a sacred conversation on her experience of rest and resilience as a woman of colour. We talk about her familial history of rest and over-work, and how both influenced her own deep resistance to rest; the remarkable resilience that runs through the DNA of melanated women and the power of grace in our collective healing as we work for a more inclusive, brave and equitable world.

‘We must do everything’ is a recipe for burnout.
‘We can do hard things’ is the foundation of sacred success.
In todays episode I want to talk to you about one of my own biggest obstacles to my healing journey over the years. People pleasing.When you’re a people-pleaser you live for other people - to see them through their storms, to help them thrive. You on the other hand, just go from day to day only feeling worthy if you’ve done something for someone else. It is definitely not something that will lead you down the path to rest, or riches.
So how do we ‘do all the things’ and yet stay well rested and create lives of richness? Today I give you 3 of my sacred practices that will help you go from doing all the things, to doing the hard things that will in turn create more space for rest and time for you.
Welcome back!
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what you really want? How often do you say yes to you over everyone else?
Today’s episode is inspired by a little early morning social media shame spiral, that lead me to ask the question “why do we struggle so much with giving ourselves permission to do things differently?”.
So grab some tea, sit back and let’s dive into this weeks episode of how to get rich through rest.
Welcome to the first ever episode of the Rest to Riches podcast!
Todays episode is all about leaving behind the hype and the hustle, and choosing something more restful instead...calm money and quiet power.
We dive into why serenity got me all fired up for my first episode, break down what keeps us chasing the hard money culture, and explore how - in this patriarchal world do we achieve success that flows from us instead of erodes us?
So go make some tea, put your feet up and dive into this first exploration of how we can start to get rich through rest together.
