Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Do you ever worry that you might be embarrassed, that you might look silly, that you might look

stupid, that people might laugh at you, that you might make a mistake?

Oh, come on, we all feel this way sometimes. And really, look,

it's just our ego. We don't want to get laughed at. We don't want to be ridiculed. We don't want
