The Energy of Money Podcast

"I fairly sizzle with zeal and enthusiasm as I spring forth with a mighty faith to do the things that ought to be done by me."

~ Charles Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity School of Christianity

“I admitted to myself that I wanted it and I went for it again.”

In this episode of Energy of Money, Dr. Maria explores the true nature of scarcity and why the constant desire for more never leads to lasting fulfillment.

Scarcity is often seen as something to fear or eliminate, but Dr. Maria reframes it as a natural and necessary part of life. The feeling of not having enough is deeply wired into the human brain and has been with us for thousands of years. Even as our resources grow, the desire for more often grows with it.

She reveals why more money or more time does not solve scarcity and can actually intensify it. Instead of chasing more, she invites listeners to understand scarcity as the presence of limits. These limits are what give structure and meaning to our lives.

The episode also explores the difference between visionary reality, where possibilities are infinite, and physical reality, where limits exist. True mastery comes from learning how to bring ideas into form within those limits.

Dr. Maria also introduces a more intentional way to approach money and time by recognizing where energy is being used unconsciously. By becoming aware of spending habits and daily choices, it becomes possible to create greater fulfillment without needing more.

This episode is a powerful invitation to shift focus away from accumulation and toward intention. The question is no longer how to get more, but what is possible with what you already have.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Energy of Money, Dr. Maria invites listeners into a deeper inquiry — one that goes beyond purpose, goals, or ambition. Instead of asking “What is my purpose?” she poses a more revealing question:

What is the question to which your life is the answer?

Our lives are never neutral. Through our choices, behaviors, relationships, and values, we are constantly answering a question — consciously or unconsciously. This episode explores how to recognize the question your life has been answering and how to intentionally choose a new one.

This is not about judgment. It is about authorship.

In this episode of The Energy of Money, Dr. Maria continues her exploration of Erik Erikson’s eight psychosocial stages of development, focusing on the final three stages that shape our relationships, purpose, and legacy.

 

Drawing on psychology, lived experience, and reflective storytelling, Dr. Maria walks listeners through the emotional and psychological conflicts that arise in young adulthood, middle adulthood, and later life—and how unresolved stages can affect fulfillment, connection, and meaning at any age.

 

This conversation invites listeners to pause, reflect, and ask powerful questions about where they are in life and what they are being called to do next.
