The Spiritual 9-5

Can you be your full self at work and when you’re looking for work?

In this episode, Marie is joined by Security Leader and US Army veteran Ryen Macababbad to talk about leadership, layoffs, and learning to love ourselves.

Ryan shares how her experiences being deployed to Afghanistan and navigating the world neurodivergently have informed her leadership style as a people manager in tech.

We also discuss Ryan’s most recent layoff and her current job search, reflecting on how she’s using LinkedIn, what strategies are working, and what she might do differently next time.

The episode is offered for anyone in the midst of their own job search or leadership journey. If you enjoyed it, learn more about Ryen and connect with her on LinkedIn.

After a number of years in leadership and management at tech companies like Uber, Square and Meta, Joel Hoekstra got laid off — not once, but twice.

In this conversation, he shares his experience leaving the corporate world behind and offers advice on how to see the writing on the wall, what to do to prepare for a lay-off, and the one thing that everyone seems to regret about their lay-off experience.

The episode is offered as support and encouragement for anyone who’s ever been laid off or fears they will be. It's also a great training for managers or leaders who are working on leading through uncertainty & difficult conversations.

Is your nervous system dysregulated on the regular? Are you living in a state of consistent low (or even high) level of stress, anxiety or overwhelm?

Because our nervous systems are constantly scanning our environments for safety, safety is the underpinning of a light and joyful experience, free of stress and overwhelm, most especially in the office. However, many of us are operating in a window of tolerance that includes persistent levels of stress and anxiety. It's almost as if we've accepted that this is the way it has to be (when actually, it doesn't have to be this way).

This episode talks about how to check-in with your nervous system, to become aware when you are not feeling safe and to course correct. Overall it outlines:

This episode also covers examples for navigating safety in the workplace.

Are you living and working in survival mode? The truth is that many of us were not given the tools to live or work in any other way.

This episode introduces some elements of your nervous system and talks about how regulation can be your main path out of constantly feeling in fight, flight, freeze or fawn.

Whether you’re navigating layoffs or the average corporate workplace, you need your nervous system to support you in the cultivation of stability through often unstable scenarios.

There’s no secret that the tech layoffs (and other industries, too) have been some of the worst in recent memory. Many are struggling, several months post-layoff, to determine how to move forward through this difficult time. This episode is both a reflection and an offering for those leading as well as those impacted.

Part 1 of a mini-series inspired by layoffs, this episode is here to witness, support and serve.

Putting a positive spin on your working experience won't solve the problems you face in the office (virtually or in-person). Positivity about your working situation will also not fulfill you or reconcile the conflicting thoughts and feelings you have about your day job.

This episode is about acknowledging that, while taking back the power that you do have when it comes to your work, most especially if you work in corporate america.

The objective of Marie's two businesses–The Corporate Psychic and Essential Teams–as well as this podcast (The Spiritual 9–5), has been to find and reflect on the transcending points of life through our work, through the tension and the opposites we experience, and in all the things that pull us in different directions. It is to witness how we show up for all of it and to learn how to embrace it.

This episode shares seven benefits that a 9–5 role offers and the appreciation Marie is experiencing in one this time around. The truth may be that having a 9-5 can be pretty cool, even and especially when you work one alongside entrepreneurship.

When we are intentional with our thoughts, our bodies will respond in kind. Yet, our brains are so good at keeping us comfortable and complacent in the familiar.

In this episode, Marie talks about how training our mindset – our conscious and unconscious thoughts and intentions – helps us more purposefully navigate difficult situations. Through consciously channeling our effort in a way that feels intentional, and seeking support when we’d benefit from it, we are better equipped to achieve what we’re setting out to do. Self compassion and hard work can go hand in hand to getting us where we want to go.

Our career paths are not linear and quite often come full circle. In this episode, Marie reflects on her own personal career path, beginning with her time in corporate and through building her own companies. She reflects on how she’s experienced both embracing a 9-5 role as well as entrepreneurship, and has found that you don’t have to be just one or the other. She reflects on trusting in the timing of your career path and being sure to pick up the phone when the universe calls – you never know when your next opportunity might present itself or when the inspiration will strike!

Not a podcast episode, but a practice that you can come back to every single day in February or in 2024.

This audio is a 3 min exercise to set your intention & quality of existence for today. It's a reminder that you are on your way and on the right path. It was inspired by the tarot cards The Hanged Man (r), The Tower (r), and The 3 of Wands & is particularly soothing for those navigating a transition or an in-between moment.

As an extension of The Spiritual 9-5 Podcast, join host Marie Groover for monthly meditations, somatic practices and functional audios to tune your nervous system, recharge, and show up in more fullness.

All mindful/functional audios drop on the last day of each month, to support the upcoming month.

Marie brings behind the scenes transparency into her program development, sharing her process from inception to birth and beyond for a recently launched program, VISIBILITY.

There are rich insights and takeaways from what it's like to show up for something daily (not just week-daily) and how the giving of ourselves can be among the most nourishing and regenerative acts and gifts that we can offer.

Themes are coaching, intuition, business development, art, personal development and integrity

If there is one thing to take away from this episode, it's to follow your inspiration, even (and most especially) when your immediate circle does not agree.

Is the new collective dream to work for ourselves and not really be working at all? 

Lucky for us, starting a business doesn’t have to be a pipe dream. It’s easier than you think. 

You don’t need a business plan to start your business. It can be as simply as choosing to show up differently within the world around you.

This episode is about empathy.

Empathy is mastering the knowing of what is yours and what is someone else’s and skillfully responding emotionally and intellectually based on the circumstance and the human in front of you. 

Empathy is trainable – it’s not a muscle or a brain type that some people have and others don’t.

Empathy is worthwhile to take the time to develop in ourselves, our schools, businesses organizations and political groups.

Embodiment is the path to training empathy fully. We cannot intellectualize or storytell around empathy to get it right. Getting it (or understanding empathy) is not enough. 

In this episode, Marie demonstrates that fully understanding how others feel and where they are coming from is not empathy (only one part of empathy). Without total empathy, we manipulate, rather than move.

Marie shares her story from scoring 0/10 on the empathy scale, to scoring a 10/10. Listen to learn more about how you can develop empathy in yourself or your team and organization.

In this 4 month update of being in business without social media, Marie shares some key insights about the pace of business, nature and the world. It's not about how fast we move, but rather how often we are willing to show up. It's about how many times we come back to our work and it's about the little things that compound into the momentum that carries us through. This episode unlocks the secret to ease and 'overnight success' through the little actions that compound into big results. To be clear, there is no such thing as overnight success. Yet much of what occupies our time and our energy are these ideas and fantasies about what is possible for us -- are they even real and do we even want them?

Can our nervous system handle the pace at which we context switch and create?

What happens when you take your business off social media?

What happens when you take your life off social media?

There are people in the world who get you, who are just like you. And if you can find those people who appreciate you (because they are you), who are a little bit ahead of you (in terms of where you are setting out to go), you can cultivate some really potent conditions for your personal growth and development. And when you are a visionary (you are), this is crucial and key to bringing your visions to life.

The beliefs we hold inform the quality of our lived experience. With this in mind, this episode invites you to investigate one of the most insidious beliefs that many of us hold -- the belief that you have to be good and that some condition [insert success, wealth, happiness, joy, good things, good results, etc.] will be fulfilled.

You do not have to work so hard to be good, to have a good life. If this seems counterintuitive, or even challenging, then this episode is for you.

In it we also discuss the key to to re-write limiting beliefs (for good), and ultimately the secret to lasting transformation.

This episode also outlines how Marie went from being a Nanny studying Philosophy to working with leadership at Microsoft, showcasing how anything is truly possible when we dedicate ourselves fully to the present moment & to what is in front of us.

The present shows us who we are, and what we are really made of. It is who we are that gets us to who we are becoming. Internal shifts lead to external outcomes. Listen to this episode to hear more.

It's a little bit business + life & felt experience, exploring her philosophies on living, working and being in the spaciousness, rather than filling time and space. For when we can embrace that which we are without, we can fulfill all that for which we are.

I am finally ready to share my take on this quest with you. As many things, it's a bit more simple than we make it out to be and the answer is maybe not what you think." - Marie, founder of TCP, ETs, and the host of this podcast.

It's time to stop being so d*mn busy and live with meaning. If you are someone who is constantly running low or out of time, if you feel like your calendar or your obligations and responsibilities are ruling your life, if you observe that you are constantly complaining about not having enough time – you may not be living big enough. And, you definitely want to listen to this episode.

It's a solo jam, where host Marie Groover explains why we are so busy and how to stop the busy cycle and step into joy, meaning, and the life that actually matters to us. It doesn't involve cold showers or a 2 hour self-care routine. In fact, Marie advocates even for dropping those things. We don't need to create healthier habits, we need to create habits that equate to a life that is ours and ours alone -- to a life that we actually want to be living.

Tune in to this episode to learn what Home Energetics is (hint: it's so much more than just Feng Shui), how it can benefit you, and what you can do to optimize your space so that you can achieve your dreams.

Together, Jacey and Marie discuss energy optimization for getting a promotion, keeping your personal chi in check, calling in an ideal romantic partnership, and so much more. If you are interested in the energy of your home or office to incrementally advance your goals, or if you are looking for some quick and easy tips to optimize your space, this is the episode for you.

Jacey Herbert is the founder of Still Jacey. In her own words,

"I am an intuitive guide and eternal spiritual student. I practice meditation, mindfulness, feng shui and a multitude of spiritual practices to achieve a sense of stillness in everyday life. My intention is to help you find your own stillness in your mind, body, home, connection to your deepest and truest self, and the universe.

I discovered Feng Shui in a moment of clarity when I realized how the space around me had been draining my energy and causing stress instead of providing comfort. I was feeling behind in my career, my relationships, and overwhelmed with the fast paced lifestyle I was living, constantly chasing “the next thing.” After I started to understand the different energy centers of the home and how they impact every aspect of my life I was able to create a home filled with love, support, and abundance. Feng Shui and energetics awareness in the home has transformed my life, I’d love to show you how it could transform yours."

On June 8th, 2023, The Corporate Psychic (@thecorppsychic) will step away from the gram. Since announcing our departure, the most asked question is simply: "Why?". So, this episode is here to serve up an honest answer. In this, Marie talks about why she is taking her business off social media, and where you can find her as The Corporate Psychic continues to grow.

"When I started TCP, I was consumed and expanded by a question: what would happen if I went all in? Now, I am consumed and expanded by a new question: What would it look like to grow my business without social media?"

Stay tuned for upcoming episodes outlining the strategy and the future of The Corporate Psychic as a business.

The skill of asking good questions is underrated, under-recognized, wildly under appreciated, and not actually taught or demonstrated enough. The vast majority of us do not know how to ask for what we want. And, the more we want or need something, the harder it may feel to ask for it.

Meanwhile, the most successful people in this world have mastered this skill, so we're here today to shed some light on why we need to ask better questions, and what we can do about it.

This episode traverses over-stimulated over-productivity and our resistance to the things that move the needle in our life, work, and dreams. In it, Marie talks about how she almost abandoned her business to go to culinary school, how many of us would rather receive an electric shock than sit in silence with our thoughts, and how we often focus on the process over the doing.

You don’t earn depression & no one has more of a right to it than you do. Because depression can't be earned & it has no right. It just is. And it doesn’t have to look like whatever people think it’s supposed to look like. Depression can look like months in bed, debilitated and immobile. But, I think far more often it looks like a smile or even laughter in the presence of others.

This is hands down the most vulnerable episode of The Spiritual 9-5 to date. It's heavy. It's meaningful. It matters. And there is no point to it, other than to share my genuine experience, because I think the world needs more of that.

Your job contributes a lot less to your overall (un)happiness than you might think. Inspired by the seeming dichotomy of working a 9-5 and living the life of your dreams, we examine the desire to quit corporate and find ourselves in this episode.

A note to listeners: I've just adopted an adolescent dog over the weekend, and so you may hear some chewing noises in the background. :) 

What is mindfulness really? And why is it important in the office?
What does mindfulness translate to in a corporate or working environment?
And are there actual benefits that translate to ROI? 

These are some of the questions that set the stage for this episode on introducing mindfulness in an in-person or virtual office, authentically. But first, we start with a story. I had the amazing pleasure of leading the Microsoft Federal Defense team to mindfully set intentions before they kicked off culture conversations. 

And because we love to demystify and make accessible concepts and components of spirituality, I couldn't not let this exercise inspire me into a podcast episode. And a free resource. And a new offer for you.

Being in the work is what grows you. If you knit socks and you dedicate your life to knitting socks, you’re going to learn some things. If you are a writer and you dedicate your life to your craft, you are going to learn some things. If you are a manager and you dedicate your life to your work and team, you're going to learn some things. If you are a business owner and you dedicate yourself to the work that your business provides, you will learn some things. Yes, you’ll learn some things about what you do, but you will also learn some things (a lot of things) about yourself along the way. 

This episode challenges the need for personal development or healing to do the things that our heart calls for us to do.

Who do you believe you are? And what really matters to you? How do you know the difference between your intuition and your ego? Where does logic integrate with our gut instinct and felt experience? What is reasonable? What is truth? And what should we be striving for in life and business? 

Marie and Rita are here to deeply discuss all of it. No topic is left unturned, where even highly politicized events are discussed in the form of collective healing and how our identities contribute to our lives and businesses. Together, success is redefined on a spiritual path, in business, and in our personal lives + development.

Dive into soul-full living with Kelly Anderson as she shares her story from the corporate world into soul-lead coaching. Nothing is off the table in this conversation from purpose, navigating relationships, identities, healing on all levels, and business. After decades of living life on autopilot and settling for "this is fine" in most every area of living, Kelly's soul was awakened and she was called to burn it all to the ground and start over - all at once. After experiencing a deep and transformative spiritual awakening, Kelly shifted into deep healing, spiritual growth, and coaching. She now embodies her core values everyday, while guiding growth-oriented individuals from stuck, to thriving in their own unique version of purpose and fulfillment.

When grief is present and it is ignored, or when the focus is on only what has been lost, we are incapable of receiving what is -- what is present, what is willing, what is better-than. In order to be available for what is presenting itself to us, we must mourn. And yet, grief is not linear. It is ever present and it comes in waves. Listen to this episode to learn how to invite grief in, process it and allow it to move through us, so that we can receive more (more goodness, that is :)). 

Reach out with your stories in grief. My team and I are just behind this email address and would love to hear from you: hello@thecorppsychic.com. And if lessons from the tarot resonates, sign up for our monthly magic newsletter here: http://eepurl.com/hC7vt1

In this solocast episode, Marie talks about why she was reluctant to leave her 9-5 on the whim of desire without clarity. She deepens into why this is important, and what you can take away. The answer is not whether or not to leave your 9-5, it's in getting really clear on what it is that you want - and identifying the exact variation of that.

There are different standards, practices and norms in business vs everyday life. But, does it have to be this way? This episode invites you into authenticity in your work, business, and across all facets of your life. 

"Business is business" is not an excuse for unethical behavior or practice. It is also not a justification to work in a job that does not align with your values. In fact, businesses and corporations are not the root cause of your sickness, unhappiness, or lack of joy in this life. Trigger warning: to say that corporations are sucking the souls out of human beings is not exactly true. It IS, however, taking the responsibility out of the human hand and putting it into an entity outside of human existence. In this episode, the invitation is to take the responsibility back and regain control over your own life and existence. 

This episode is about thinking and discerning for yourself when consulting with anyone or anything else. 

When you have a good idea, quite possibly the idea, there will be a small voice inside your being that knows it. You will feel a whisper inside you that this could be big. If you lean into it, you’ll kind of know what to do. You might even get excited and start doing. But then cue all the loud voices that tell you all the reasons why it won't work, all the reasons why you aren't the one, or this isn't the right time. And while there are no guarantees, and the timing will never be quite right, it's in the small voice where you will find yourself. And it's in yourself where you will find all your dreams manifested, INCLUDING making money doing whatever you want. 

When you combine who you are with your purpose, your north star, and your vision, you unlock an infinite number of possibilities for fulfilling your potential while making money for your work. The thing is, getting 100% of what you want doesn't come by doing what someone else has, or is doing. It doesn't come through strategy, process, or backend tooling. Jumping off the cliff is surrendering to the creation of your own path, THROUGH doing and living and being. In the paraphrased words of Aristotle, if you want to be a painter, paint. It's really that simple. Listen to this episode if you want some insight on how to begin, wherever you are. 

Your mindset is the biggest piece to conquer in your journey to making or receiving money. Starting a business, securing a job, and/or getting your shit together takes effort - but the real effort is beneath the ice. It's bringing your brain along in the journey and finding evidence that you are safe in the unknown, that you grow & thrive in the unknown, and that are successful in the unknown. It's remembering that you are your safest risk and your biggest asset. It is possible to make money being exactly who you are and doing exactly what you want - but you have to start with yourself and invite your brain on the journey with you. That is the basis of this first part episode series: Make Money Being Who You Are. 

It takes effort to be present to all the things that we juggle in our lives. It takes special effort to be present to any one of those things, once we feel we are depleted. And yet, it is when we have nothing left to give, when the magic really happens. This episode is about showing up, despite having nothing at all and the limitless capacity that we can tap into, when we do.  

This episode, to quit or not quit your 9-5, is not actually an argument for either position. It's a call to follow the voice within, regardless of how that looks outside of you. It's an invitation to leave the narrative that there are only two choices in front of you, if you want to fulfill your purpose and dreams. It's permission for you to not choose one thing, but to choose all the things that bring you joy. It's permission to stop trying to follow all the rules about how or who you're supposed to be when navigating your career, starting your own business, becoming a parent, or traveling the world. It's an invitation to challenge whatever is limiting your desires by living your fullest expression. 

This short episode rounds out Episodes 1-2 & brings forward some guidance in finding, knowing, and being yourself so that your purpose will shine through you with ease. When you are living your purpose, live isn't easier, but your navigation of it is. To live with confidence, you must embody your truest expression, your truest self. And to do that, you don't actually have to know fully or articulate who you are - you really just have to learn how to allow yourself to be. Listen to learn how you can practice your own authentic embodiment and bring yourself forward in the life that you are living. 

If you can articulate your purpose, and use your values as the parameters for how you fulfill your purpose, then you will experience joy in everything that you do and you will vastly increase your impact on this planet. But if you don't know your values, you may struggle to find happiness without being able to articulate why you are unhappy. This episode is a crucial introduction to the importance of knowing your purpose and what you value so that you can find joy & fulfillment in all things, while maximizing your movement in this world.

This short episode is an introduction to living and embodying your purpose, without having to choose one path or course of action.
