The Inner Briefing

There are many resources to help you touch into your intuition. But resources to help you know what to do, when you don't know what to do are slightly harder to come by. This special episode is a 5 minute solocast, followed by a 5 minute guided meditation. It invites you to ground into the unknown, befriending it, while tethering to what is known and present. It's an excellent resource for internal sourcing during both internal and external unknown. 

Themes: Unknown, Uncertainty, Life Transitions, Human Experience, Leadership Development, Business Development, Career Development, Personal Development. 

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unclear, or afraid of making the “wrong” choice — this episode is for you. Clarity doesn’t come before action, it comes because of it. In this conversation, I share how I went from studying philosophy to building a career at Microsoft, and why your path only makes sense in hindsight.

We’ll explore practical ways to get unstuck, build self-leadership, and create career clarity — not by waiting for the perfect decision, but by starting anywhere. When you act on your desires, you begin learning, growing, and moving closer to your purpose.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start leading yourself forward, this episode will show you why action is always the catalyst.

In this heartfelt conversation with my friend and media manager Jess, we go deep into what it really takes to build a life and business you love. From her early experiences to seven years of entrepreneurship (coaching, EFT, art, branding and more), Jess shares how she’s repeatedly pivoted, let go, and come full circle to create work that’s both strategic and soul-aligned.

We talk about:

• The loneliness and blurred boundaries of friendships inside the coaching world.

• Why it’s okay — even necessary — to leave a business, job, or identity that once felt aligned.

• The difference between results-oriented work and heart-oriented work.

• Why “being in the energy” isn’t just high vibes — it’s about happily creating and sharing.

• How values and self-awareness become the parameters for your happiness.

• Why consistency matters, but also why stepping stones are sacred.

Whether you’re just starting your entrepreneurial journey or navigating your fifth pivot, this episode will remind you that you’re not behind — you’re becoming.

This episode is a call back to the heart of why we do what we do: the work itself. I challenge the popular narrative that you must endlessly “develop yourself” before you can be good at your craft, make money, or grow in your career. Instead, I share the wisdom that devotion to your craft—actually showing up in the work day after day—is what shapes you, grows you, and naturally leads to success.

We explore:

• Why personal development adds value but isn’t the true requirement for business growth

• The danger of getting stuck in programs, books, and hacks instead of practicing your craft

• The discipline of separating yourself from outcomes (echoed by both Steven Pressfield and the Bhagavad Gita)

• How to measure success by the quality and depth of your work, not just dollars or client counts

• Why being “in the work” is both the most challenging and the most rewarding path you can take

Whether you’re knitting socks, coaching clients, leading a team, or running a heart-centered business, the question remains the same: If you had a million dollars tomorrow, would you still want to do this work? If the answer is yes, then your devotion to the craft itself is the only thing that matters.

In this solo episode, I share the messy, beautiful, and unexpected truth of life after leaving Microsoft. July 6th, 2022 marked both my last day in corporate and the eve of my 32nd birthday—a threshold into an entirely new chapter. What followed included a health scare that shook my sense of security, a surf trip to Mexico where I wrestled with “doing nothing,” and a slow, winding road trip in my van Franny that helped me begin to settle into simply being.

I talk about what it feels like to shed an old identity, why productivity is overrated, and how I re-learned to trust myself (and life) outside of a steady paycheck. You’ll hear my five biggest takeaways, from embracing the discomfort of nothingness to experimenting with a gentle weekly flow that honors both rest and creativity.

If you’re considering leaving corporate—or even just craving a new rhythm—you’ll find both permission and practical wisdom here. Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do for your business and your soul is to let go, do less, and watch life hold you anyway.

In this intimate conversation with my spiritual mentor Rita Mirchandani, we unpack what “success” really means when your business is an extension of your soul. We move from external metrics (money, followers, launches) to internal measures (contentment when you’re alone, alignment, meaningful connection). We talk about sourcing safety from within, the difference between trauma responses and intuition, and the power of the pause—that tiny beat before you act that aims your energy (think: the soccer kick, the duck-dive under a wave).

You’ll hear about lowering prices to come back into integrity, letting go of performative productivity, and why sitting in “nothingness” often changes everything. We go tender and real on identity, shadow work, discomfort, and being fully seen in love and in work—plus a few “universe winks” (free lemons, surprise credits) that reminded us abundance is everywhere. If you’re building a spiritual business—or building a life that feels like you—this one is a grounding breath.

You’ll learn:

• A gentler success metric you can use today

• How to tell intuition from a nervous-system flare

• Why the pause before action is your superpower

• Ways to spot the area you’re avoiding (and how to lovingly shake it up)

If this episode resonates, share it with someone who’s redefining success on their own terms.

Torn between staying or leaving a relationship—or even a job, city, or lifestyle? In this episode, Marie reframes the question: before you jump, do the inner work that makes the decision clear. She shares why leaving too soon can cause us to repeat the same patterns, how to grow from within until the old shell no longer fits, and practical prompts to uncover what you actually desire beneath the surface of “I want a partner who…”

Learn how to:

• Distinguish surface growth from deep transformation

• Practice unconditional giving (to yourself and your partner)

• Ask for support in ways that expand you both

• Recognize when the answer is obvious—without guilt or confusion

If you’ve ever felt stuck on the “should I stay or should I go” teeter-totter, this episode will help you move toward clarity, confidence, and authentic self-led growth.

What does it really look like to leave behind a stable corporate career and step into the unknown of entrepreneurship and coaching? In this powerful conversation, Marie Groover speaks with Kelly Anderson (now Kelly Jackson) about her journey from a 15-year career in recruiting to building a purpose-driven coaching business.

Kelly shares the whispers she ignored for years, the moment she finally said “this is the year I leap”, and how her decision to leave wasn’t reckless—it was both deeply spiritual and strategically planned. Together, we explore the difference between burnout and true misalignment, the role of grief when shedding relationships and old identities, and how to navigate the discomfort of the “in-between” seasons.

If you’ve ever wondered how do I know if it’s time to quit?, what if I’m just burned out?, or how will my relationships shift if I change everything?—this episode is for you.
