Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Hello my friend.

I have to say it's been a week or maybe a bit longer now since my

article my latest article in Wonder Mind came out which is the Selina Gomez owned mental health media platform.

I love it. I love creating content for them. And I just wanted to read the first paragraph or two and then turn it to you, right?

See what you can get out of this that's relevant for your life.

Okay? The article is called Hosting Dinners is Healing My Childhood Shame.

And I'm going to link to it in the show note so you can check it out if you haven't read it already.

Come in, I'm making mental soup. I mean, what? Is everyone so guest ready?

Do you all secretly work at good housekeeping or something?

I've often wondered if I'm the only one who has ever felt weird or anxious about having people

over. I've noticed friends do it with such ease, even last minute, just like that.

A come over for dinner later text seems so casual to them.

So it was always uncomfortable during a sleep period. meaning visitors aren't allowed.
