Episode Transcript
Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.
I've just been invited back tothe Today Show, Australia, to
talk about New Year'sresolutions on New Year's Eve.
Catch me at 8 40 a.m.
if you are in that part of theworld on New Year's Eve for you.
(00:23):
It'll be December 30th here inMiami.
And resolutions, I think, are anoff-talked-about subject in so
many ways.
There are three billion articleswith all sorts of advice, tips,
suggestions.
And I would like to offer yousomething a little different
today.
(00:43):
Because, you know, based on whatI've heard from different people
in different life situations,2025 has had its challenges.
Globally speaking, economicallyspeaking, there's been a lot to
be said around this year.
And if you feel any heaviness,dare I say skepticism or even
(01:04):
cynicism heading into 2026, Ibeg of you to consider a reset
now.
The good news is you don't needto wait until January 1st ever.
You can reset, start over everysingle morning.
Think about that.
(01:25):
If you have these feelings ofheaviness, of feeling dread, of
feeling fear, the sense offoreboding over a new year, or
your future in general.
Let me give you this thoughttoday.
Cynicism is often just our fear.
(01:45):
There is a comfort to it becauseit feels like there is less to
lose.
A hopeful person mightexperience disappointment, but
guess what?
A cynical person will alsoexperience disappointment.
They've just been lying tothemselves throughout the
process.
We think that being cynicalprotects us from feeling
(02:08):
negative emotion, thinking, oh,well, I didn't think that'd work
out anyway, or goes to show Iwas right all along.
But my friends, what kind oflife is that?
It doesn't protect you fromdisappointment at all because
disappointment happens to all ofus, regardless of your attitude,
but it will shield you, blockyou from possibility.
(02:33):
When we are cynical, when ourexpectations are low, when we
don't really expect or believefor much, the world shrinks
directly to what's predictable.
And all of our power is in thepresent moment.
So if in the present moment wefeel cynical, our world is
(02:56):
small.
We engineer a small life.
What if we opened up?
What if we introduced morecuriosity?
What if we weren't so quick tobe certain that the future's
looking bleak?
What if instead we realize thatthose thoughts are actually the
barrier?
(03:16):
We think that it's a help, wethink it's a shield.
On some level, we're protectingourselves, but all we're really
protecting ourselves from iswhat is possible, our next
level.
That gorgeous thing that we'vebeen wanting to be, do, or have,
maybe our whole life.
If you feel emotions like this,these heavy emotions around this
(03:39):
time of year, instead of lookingat them as something that could
be protecting you, what if youjust saw them as something
that's potentially harming you,limiting you, preventing you
from experiencing all that youare here to experience?
And that includes many, many,many good and wanted things.
(04:04):
Until tomorrow, my friends.
So much love and ease.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
