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.

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.
