The Inner Briefing

The hardest moment isn’t when life is falling apart. It’s often when everything is working, but something inside you starts asking for more. You’ve built a good life. Your career is working. Things are stable. Maybe even successful.And yet, somewhere beneath it all, there’s the feeling that something is missing.It's maybe not big enough to blow everything up. It's maybe not even big enough to clearly articulate or explain. It's just enough to make you wonder what comes next.In this episode of The Inner Briefing, Marie explores the experience many high-achieving professionals encounter but rarely talk about: the moment when achievement no longer feels fully aligned, and purpose hasn’t revealed itself yet.This conversation isn’t about quitting your job or reinventing your life overnight. It’s about understanding why curiosity, restlessness, or seemingly illogical nudges often appear after we settle into success — and how learning to trust those small signals can quietly reshape your sense of meaning, direction, and fulfillment over time.You’ll learn:Why feeling like “something's missing” is often a sign of growth, not failureHow purpose actually unfolds without crisis or epiphanyWhy curiosity matters more than certaintyHow to follow intuitive nudges without abandoning the life you’ve builtIf you’ve ever thought, “Everything looks fine — so why do I feel this way?” this episode is for you.Poem reference: https://www.mariegroover.com/post/where-to-go-from-here

There are moments when the world feels too heavy to keep living normally.You open your phone and see violence, injustice, grief, and chaos. Suddenly posting about your work, your breakfast, your promotion, your art, or even your day job feels..wrong.It feels insensitive, self-centered, or like you’re ignoring what actually matters.So what are we supposed to do?Stop creating? Stop sharing? Stop living?In this episode, I (Marie Groover) share a conversation with a client who questioned whether she should promote her newly published novel while real harm was unfolding close to home. It was a question that quickly became my own.Together, we explore the tension between awareness and paralysis, grief and participation, responsibility and humanity.Because maybe the real question isn’t about social media at all.Maybe, it's about whether we’re allowed to keep showing up in our lives (at work, in our relationships, in our creativity) while the world is hurting (and while we are hurting with it).Drawing on a powerful idea echoed by Dan Savage and Glennon Doyle — we grieve, we work, and we dance — this episode offers a reframe:What if continuing to live isn’t a betrayal of the moment? What if it’s part of what we’re protecting?If you’ve been wondering whether now is the wrong time to share your work, celebrate something small, laugh with friends, or simply focus on your responsibilities, this conversation is for you.You are not the problem for still being alive inside a painful world. And your light might be helping someone stay in the fight more than you’ll ever know.Work with Marie: https://www.thecorppsychic.com/home/aboutStrange Breathless Days by Hannah Layne: https://www.strandbooks.com/strange-breathless-days-9798994242728.htmlWe Can Do Hard Things Episode Reference: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5lGCtnMTIbfqus2B3BhAlR?si=KfwAMtioQuK3xGVVyeMBXw

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 sensingWhy ChatGPT can be helpful and misleadingThe danger of AI validation loopsHow to use AI consciously as a self-leadership toolBecause the question isn’t “is this right?”It’s why does this resonate — and what is it inviting you to see?Learn more & work with Marie:www.mariegroover.comwww.thecorppsychic.com

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 actionHow fear of being wrong is often rooted in past experiences, not present realityWhat it really means to “do it scared”How to stop overthinking and start moving againWhy self-trust is built through action, not certaintySimple mindset reframes to help you speak, create, share, and decide without needing to be rightThis 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.Save this episode to reignite inspiration on your stuck days ⚡️Learn more & work with Marie:www.mariegroover.comwww.thecorppsychic.com

Why do we work so hard to control how someone else sees usWhere 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.Work with Marie: https://www.thecorppsychic.com/coaching-application Explore free resources:⁠⁠www.mariegroover.com⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thecorppsychic.com/resources-index
