Summary

Ever had someone talk down to you and felt that hot rush of defensiveness? We take that moment and flip it on its head, using a sharp Taylor Swift lyric from “Actually Romantic” to show how ridicule can become rocket fuel. Instead of surrendering power to critics, we unpack a creator’s mindset that reframes attention—yes, even the nasty kind—as energy you can channel into work, boundaries, and momentum. And, as a special FREE bonus, I want to give you my "6 Journal Prompts To Coach Yourself T...

0:00.0	Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.
0:09.9	Well, who else has been listening to The Life of a Showgirl?
0:15.4	Taylor Swift's, I think it's a 12th album.
0:19.5	It dropped on Friday.
0:24.0	Today's Monday. I've been listening to it throughout the weekend. I don't know all the songs quite yet, but I want to share with you my favorite on the
0:30.6	album so far, whether you're a Swifty or not, I don't think I identify as one. I think that you will
0:36.7	like what she has to say here.
0:40.8	The song is called Actually Romantic, which, I don't know, you suppose it's going to be a love
0:46.3	song, right, coming from Taylor with a word romantic in the title. But instead, it's about, well, there are rumors about this, another
0:56.7	musical artist who called her Boring Barbie, who criticized her, who's friends with her
1:04.7	ex, who really doesn't like Taylor. And Taylor Swift said, that is actually romantic. Oh my gosh, it's so good, isn't it? Stick with me. She said this. It's actually sweet all the time you've spent on me. It's honestly wild, all the effort you've put in. It's actually romantic. I've got to hand it to you. No man has ever loved me like you do.
1:32.3	My friends, this is why some people say the opposite of a victim is a creator. Instead of taking
1:38.5	this criticism, ridicule, perhaps rejection from some of her industry peers, she makes a song about it saying, look,
1:47.5	you must love me because essentially you are obsessed with me. It actually reminds me of this
1:54.0	quote that I love from Paolo Coelhoello. He says, haters are confused admirers. Think about that. Someone doesn't like you. Someone's got beef with you.
2:04.0	Someone's criticizing you behind your back saying mean things about you. That means they care about
2:10.5	you. That's why I love it when Taylor says, no man has ever loved me like you do. Gosh, think about it all
2:16.2	the time spent. I've got to say, I heard this
2:19.1	other expression once that no one pays more attention to you than your enemies, so give them a
2:24.6	good show. And I think, go Taylor. Yeah, look, I think that there is this kind of conversation
2:30.1	that she is boring, or that she's this or that, depending on who you listen to.
2:35.5	And instead of feeling bad, instead of even just ignoring it, she creates a song about it
