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.
