Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Have you heard of burnt chop theory? This is so good. Stick with me. Okay. Have you heard of

burnt chop theory? I have the best mother-in-law in the world. In fact, if you head to my

Instagram page, you'll see my last post is with her. She took me to the Today Show in Australia

where I just had an appearance, which was so fun. And at the end, she came up and took a photo

with me and the host. And she is just gorgeous too. You can check that out on at Susie dot more. But I learned about burnt shop theory from her because she says,

I'm not taking the burnt shop anymore. I'm not taking the burnt shop. And from my understanding,

I did a bit of research. It all started with an Australian mother who explained

on social media that she always took the burnt chop, meaning her family got the best pieces of dinner,

the best chops of meat, the best cuts, and she took whatever was left in the spirit of giving, right,

in the spirit of good mothering, in the spirit

of self-sacrifice. And I think that a lot of people do this. It isn't unique to women. It isn't

unique to mothers, but it is a quality that many of us possess, meaning we put ourselves last.

It becomes a pattern. It's like, you know, if there are like a load of

muffins or donuts, you know, we'll take the smallest one or we'll take the one that might look

a little bit funny and let everybody else have the best pieces. And I love it. I love it. I love when

I hear her say, I'm not taking the burn chop anymore. I'm not taking the bone chop anymore because she has lived an incredible life of giving to her family, giving to her

husband, giving to others. And I love seeing her increasingly put her needs first. Think about what

it is that she desires taking charge on going on excursions that mean, that means something to her,

saying yes to things that bring joy that maybe aren't so practical and allowing herself to

receive more and more. Are you the person who always receives the burnt job? I mean, think about it.

Have you learned early to make yourself perhaps smaller, perhaps easier, perhaps less needy
