Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

I've spoken many times here on the podcast about how much I love to read, mainly self-help books,

of course, some fiction, but also biographies, memoirs, autobiographies, I love them, I live for them.

I don't even necessarily have to know the person too intimately in order to be interested or

drawn to their history of their life according to them. And what's so interesting is, typically if you've

through. You can pay attention and observe, pay attention to and observe their path

and take incredible life lessons from it. The hours it takes to read a book, it's like a

whole education in a successful person's life, without having to live 60, 70, 80, et cetera,

years, you can learn it now. So I've shared already that I've been reading Ina. I thought it was

Ina. My friend corrected me yesterday. It's

Ina. Ina Garton's book. It's called her memoir. It's called Be Ready When the Luck Happens. I'm about to

finish it. Oh, don't you hate that feeling when a book's about to end and you're loving it?

It's been my go-to-bed treat for the last week or so. And I have just a few pages left.

She's actually talking about an episode that she recorded with Taylor Swift because Taylor

Swift that said that Ina was her favorite cook and made her feel confident in the kitchen

and they recorded an incredible TV episode together
