Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

This is just a reminder today that life is not about optimizing everything to death.

Oh, Lord knows, I don't do this. I don't count macros. I don't even know what that means. I don't

even know what a peptide is, you guys. I asked my friend the other day if it's something that you

you know, Sunday nights or, you know what, I, because I'm on this XYZ diet, I don't have

dessert and so I'm not going to have some of my friends cake. I don't know. Maybe these aren't

even good examples. But there could be an inner rigidity that allows us to miss the point. The goal of any other, any other goal is

joy. It's peace. It's freedom. Right. These are the best emotions to feel joy, to feel peace,
