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.

Ever have one of those mornings where you just can’t? Where your vision feels heavy, your to-do list is endless, and all you want to do is lie horizontal and not be a human for a little while?

Same.

In this episode, I get real about what it feels like to lose momentum — and what it takes to start again when you really, really don’t want to. We talk about procrastination, creative burnout, and the weird mix of loving your work while also resisting it with everything in you. I share what helped me get back into motion (spoiler: ChatGPT was involved), and how I’m rebuilding my own rhythm inside Essential Teams after a long pause.

Whether you're coming back to your business, your creative projects, your health, or just a part of yourself you’ve put on the back burner, this one’s for you.

Because you’re not behind. You’re just beginning again. And that’s powerful.
