Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

I am the person often that people come to that my friends come to when they're upset or their heart or they're scared

when they receive negative feedback or when they receive criticism, private criticism, public criticism online,

haters, let's say. Often I'm the person people call, message, reach out to when they

want to be soothed in this area. And I have a feeling it's because I found my steadiness in this having

received a lot of criticism early in my life coaching business by telling my stories online, telling the truth according to my own reality.

And having had to make peace with that as a constant non-negotiable, ongoing presence in my life. It just happens,

especially the bigger you get in terms of your reach and the impact, the amount of people who find your work. Criticism is to be expected.

Now when people come to me, you know they go, oh my gosh, there's this like even a Facebook group dedicated

to hating me or these people are attacking me for this one thing or people are really coming

down hard on me because of my opinion on something. I know it hurts. We are not robots, okay? We're not

made of metal. We're human beings with emotions.

And when people attack us or don't like us or voice things that are unkind about us, it's not

going to be the best emotion you'll feel that day, right?

It's not going to be like going for an ice cream.

So maybe when this happens to you next and, if you're making moves in life,

if you're out there, if you've got an opinion,

if you're pressing forward, forging ahead,
