Can AI replace a psychic reader — or make you a stronger one?

In this episode of The Inner Briefing, Marie explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and intuition, and what it means to use tools like ChatGPT inside spiritual practices like tarot, astrology, and Human Design.

You’ll hear how ChatGPT became a neutral co-reader and reflection partner during a real tarot spread — helping Marie identify themes, patterns, and projections she couldn’t fully see on her own.

But this isn’t a “AI will replace spirituality” conversation. It’s a discernment conversation.

We unpack what makes a good psychic reader, why neutrality matters more than certainty, and how AI can support your growth without becoming your authority.

We cover:

• Can AI strengthen intuition and self-trust?
• The difference between insight and energy sensing
• Why ChatGPT can be helpful and misleading
• The danger of AI validation loops
• How to use AI consciously as a self-leadership tool

Because the question isn’t “is this right?”

It’s why does this resonate — and what is it inviting you to see?

How do you take action when you don’t know if you’re right?

In this episode of The Inner Briefing, Marie Groover explores the paralyzing fear of being wrong, imperfect, or misunderstood—and how that fear quietly keeps so many thoughtful, capable people stuck. As we gain more awareness, more information, and more nuance about the world, it can become harder to act at all. The pressure to be “right,” ethical, informed, and perfect can lead to stagnation, self-doubt, and playing small.

This conversation is for anyone who feels frozen by uncertainty, comparison, or the fear of getting it wrong—especially if you grew up around criticism, public shaming, or high expectations.

Marie breaks down why this fear lives in the nervous system (not a lack of confidence or competence) and shares 10 practical mindset shifts, gathered directly from her clients, to help you rebuild safety around showing up anyway. These shifts are designed to help you take action even when you feel unsure, imperfect, or afraid—and to learn how to trust yourself in the process.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• Why complexity and nuance can actually block action

• How fear of being wrong is often rooted in past experiences, not present reality

• What it really means to “do it scared”

• How to stop overthinking and start moving again

• Why self-trust is built through action, not certainty

• Simple mindset reframes to help you speak, create, share, and decide without needing to be right
  

This episode isn’t about eliminating fear—it’s about learning how to take action alongside it.

If you’ve been waiting for clarity, confidence, or permission before moving forward, this is your reminder: the steps appear only after you take them.

Why do we work so hard to control how someone else sees us

Where does the fear of being misunderstood come from?

And what happens when we finally stop auditioning for approval?

In today’s episode, I share a story from a client session that opens the door to a much bigger conversation about self-worth, nervous system safety, and the patterns we inherit from childhood.

We’ll explore how to recognize the subtle ways we manage other people’s emotions — and how to step into a grounded, confident place where we allow people to have their reactions while staying rooted in ourselves.

If you’re ready to reclaim your energy, this episode is for you.

What happens when your life unravels all at once — your home, your identity, your pregnancy, your job — and you’re forced into a version of yourself you never planned for?

In this deeply personal episode, Marie shares the extraordinary year that dismantled everything she thought she was becoming along with the unexpected rebirth that followed.

From selling the oceanfront cabin that held her heart, to navigating pregnancy loss and career upheaval, to discovering pottery, rebuilding home, and carrying a new life — this is a story about duality, resilience, and the quiet intelligence of intuition.

This episode covers how:

• Grief and joy can coexist in the very same moment
• Identity shifts when external structures fall away
• Creativity can become an anchor during profound change
• Intuition becomes louder when ego dissolves
• Forced transitions can lead to the most aligned chapters of our lives

If you’re navigating uncertainty, loss, reinvention, or a season of “not knowing,” this episode will meet you exactly where you are -- offering grounding, perspective, and a reminder that sometimes the most beautiful beginnings emerge from the ashes of what we didn’t choose.

AKA the hidden psychology of why change feels so hard (and how to make it stick).

Why do we keep finding ourselves in the same struggles -- money stress, chaos, burnout, repeating conflicts -- even after we've worked so hard to move past them?

In this episode, Marie shares the story of almost buying a $1.3M dream house with her fiance, right after becoming fully debt free, and how it revealed the almost irresistible pull of the familiar.

You'll learn why our nervous systems crave the comfort of struggle, how to notice when you're recreating old problems, and the steps to finally break free. If you've ever felt stuck in cycles you can't seem to escape, this conversation will show you how to choose freedom, fulfillment, and the future you actually want.

Is astrology really real? Or, is astrology just general enough that anyone can relate to it?

This is one of the most common questions we receive, especially from our dear friends in corporate. So, in this episode, we dive into it, covering:

• the difference between generalization and specificity in tools like astrology,
• why lived experience can be more powerful than proof
• and how the real value of astrology (or any modality) lies in what it teaches us about ourselves and each other

What if embracing your background can unlock what comes next in your work and life?

In this episode of The Spiritual 9-5, Marie Groover is joined by author, speaker, and coach John Wang to unpack his framework for “Big Asian Energy.”

No matter your identity, your upbringing comes with cultural and familial scripts. These norms and expectations shape your life path, but they don’t have to limit it. Instead, you can reclaim your agency by identifying your own voice and learning to lead from within.

To explore how this works, Marie and John discuss reclaiming relationships, moving through fear, combatting imposter syndrome, and the seven archetypes of Asian American adaptations.

John also shares simple, supportive frameworks for telling stories, adding value, doing hard things, building confidence, and work-life balance.

Ever have one of those mornings where you just can’t? Where your vision feels heavy, your to-do list is endless, and all you want to do is lie horizontal and not be a human for a little while?

Same.

In this episode, I get real about what it feels like to lose momentum — and what it takes to start again when you really, really don’t want to. We talk about procrastination, creative burnout, and the weird mix of loving your work while also resisting it with everything in you. I share what helped me get back into motion (spoiler: ChatGPT was involved), and how I’m rebuilding my own rhythm inside Essential Teams after a long pause.

Whether you're coming back to your business, your creative projects, your health, or just a part of yourself you’ve put on the back burner, this one’s for you.

Because you’re not behind. You’re just beginning again. And that’s powerful.

What someone else thinks of you is 100,000% out of your control. The truth is: the way people see you and what they think of you is entirely colored by their personal lived experience and whatever they think of themselves. Still, we can't always help but pause (or even completely halt) before we stretch out of our comfort zones as we worry about what others might be thinking.

In this episode of The Spiritual 9-5, Marie Groover is here to emphasize that managing others' perceptions and impressions is (despite what you may have been told or even trained) NOT your job.

So when it comes to selling in your business, sales for your team or company, trying something new, launching a new product or service or business, or literally anything that you may stall out on because you are afraid of what other people think, you have to do it anyway. Follow your heart! Embrace authentic and aligned action! & don't let external judgment hinder your own personal expression (or the value of seeking constructive feedback!). You don't have to compromise yourself to do the things that you truly want to do.

Listen to this episode to demystify how.

Episode Themes: authenticity, perception, authenticity, self-identity, feedback, personal growth, business, sales, career, self-awareness, coaching, spirituality

If you've ever held huge swathes of hardship alone, this episode is for you. Recorded in January of 2025, Marie Groover dives deeps into the weight of silence and the heaviness of navigating secret struggles without being able to fully express your truth or lived experience.

Inspired by her own reflections on 2024, Marie shares the impact of holding hardships and discusses the contrast between public successes and private hardship. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging unspoken pain and the impact it has on personal and professional life. Marie also highlights insights on how to navigate difficult times, the significance (and meaning) of self-care in hardship, and the necessity of finding support.

The conversation is a reminder that everyone carries unseen burdens and that healing begins with recognition and self-compassion.
