In this episode of The Energy of Money, Dr. Maria breaks down what it truly takes to build lasting trust in our most important relationships. As the holidays bring us closer to family, friends, and colleagues, she offers practical insight into how trust forms, why it breaks, and how we can rebuild it with intention.

Dr. Maria explains the difference between judging trust and choosing trust, showing how quickly the mind gathers evidence to reinforce fear. Through real coaching stories, she highlights how simple mistakes often get misread as character flaws rather than human moments.

At the heart of the episode is her invitation to shift from judgment to willingness. When we say “I am willing,” we step into clarity, compassion, and courage. Dr. Maria shares how this shift opens new possibilities for connection and healing.

She closes with tools for demonstrating trust first and seeing the humanity in others. This episode offers a grounded and uplifting framework for strengthening relationships throughout the holiday season and beyond.
