Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Do you want to know the best person to receive advice from or the best person that you can talk

through a problem with or share an idea with?

Often we think, oh, it's our mom if we've got a good

relationship with our mother and if our mother is alive, or our best friend or our spouse or our

boss or an amazing co-worker, our sister. And look, all of these people are wonderful people

in our lives. Incredible resources. Certainly, I'm sure, have a wealth of information and

knowledge that's useful. I offer something else to you. If you need to make a decision,

if there's something that's on your mind, seek the counsel and not the advice, because advice

is prescriptive. it comes from our own experiences

but you can seek the counsel meaning just the brain and the attention with a person or I would say

no more than two people one to two people who have zero attachment to you. Think about that. Zero attachment.

Now that goes against the grain of it, right? We think, oh, we should call our friends or the people

who love us. They know what we should do. And look, that can be true in a lot of cases. But,

and this is why I love coaching, people who live with you

or are invested in your success or are invested in where you live or how you spend your life

are going to have a filter and a bias about whatever it is that you have going on.

So if my best friend says to me, I'm thinking about moving to

Brazil, I'll go, no, don't leave Miami. Of course I'll support her. I'll support him. I'll say,

because I do love them and I'm conscious enough to know that I do have my own bias. I will share

my, no, stay. But then, because of course I work as a coach, I'll ask questions.

I'll say, you know, how long have you been thinking about that? And why Brazil? And what is it
