Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Can we talk about today something that's really underestimated and frankly not talked about enough?

I know as human beings we want to have more energy, have more vitality, be more productive.

And there are so many things to help us do that, right?

Apps, supplements, working out, meditation.

I mean, there are so many things that we do in order to experience our full vitality,

but there is something that we don't do.

And I don't think this has nearly enough airtime.

Okay. It's energy leaks. Right. We all have them. Some of us are very, very leaky. And some of us have a couple of leaks that could just be zipped up. Do any of these sound like you? Because if they are, if they're active in your life

You're just trying to get other people to not be upset with you or to understand you. That is not your business. Not everyone needs to know why you're doing what you're doing, why you're leaving early, why you're doing what's best for you. That is not your business. Not everyone needs to know why you're doing

what you're doing, why you're leaving early, why you're doing what's best for you, why you made that

decision. You don't owe anybody, anything. Save that energy, that defensive energy or that
