Are You A Mind Reader?

Want more control without turning into a steamroller? This short, punchy episode makes a simple case: stop mind-reading and start asking for what you want. We walk through everyday moments—birthday plans, a freezing event room, a tricky hair appointment, even dinner preferences with family—and show how specific, polite requests create better outcomes than silent expectations and simmering resentment.

And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)! All you have to do is:

• Leave a review of this podcast.
• Email a screenshot of your review to [e-mail]

Simple as that!

Episode Transcript

SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.
Do you want to feel more incontrol, more assertive, more
confident this year, and franklyjust get more of what you want?

(00:21):
I have a powerful tip for you,my friends.
Stop trying to mind read.
Don't mind read ever.
This is about communication.
You know, last year a friend ofmine called me, she was a little
bit upset.
It was her birthday, and shesaid that her husband was
watching the game, don't knowwhat game, downstairs.

(00:45):
And I said, Well, did you tellhim what you wanted to do for
your birthday?
And she said, No.
He should know what I want todo.
My friends, stop the madness.
Stop the madness.
Stop the mind reading.
Are we setting other people upfor success with us by

(01:05):
communicating our wants andneeds and desires?
Or are we just hoping, praying?
They will know, they will guess,they will understand, they will
anticipate our needs.
Well, my friends, you are in fora lot of disappointment if that
is how you are living right now.
And I don't just mean this withspouses, I mean this with

(01:26):
everybody, with children.
Even I went to an eventrecently, it was so cold.
I said, could you please turnthe air up in here?
Like, I'm really, really cold.
I could tell a lot of ladieswere.
And uh they did.
I have no problems politelycommunicating my preferences
versus shivering, hoping someonewill read my mind, thinking, oh,
she's cold, I've got to turn upthe temperature.

(01:48):
Stop trying to be in otherpeople's minds.
Stop trying to guess thatthey're gonna know what we want.
It goes for things as simple aswhen you go for grooming
appointments.
Tell your hairdresser exactlywhat you want.
Maybe you want somethingdifferent, maybe you want to be
a little blonder, maybe you wantyour hair shorter.
Don't say a little shorter andthen let them guess.

(02:09):
Say how much.
Show a photo, have a reference.
Let it be easy for you to havethe outcome that you want.
When I was with my mother-in-lawrecently, amazing woman, I say,
please, no coriander for me.
In America, we call it cilantro.
When she's cooking, I'll say,Hey, do you mind if mine doesn't
have that?
Could you please add that at theend?

(02:30):
I want to eat it.
She wants me to enjoy it.
Is she supposed to remember thata few years ago I said I didn't
like cilantro slash coriander?
No, that's on me.
That is my responsibility.
Are you letting people know whatit is that you want?
It doesn't mean they have to doit.
It doesn't mean you're gonnahave this perfect uh domino

(02:52):
effect in your life whereeveryone's gonna follow through
on what you want.
But you're 99% factually, let'ssay, 99% more likely to get
exactly what you want when youcommunicate what you want.
Whether it's your birthday,whether it's a meal, whether
it's a haircut, whether it's amanicure, whether it whether
it's a temperature, whatever itis that you're not receiving

(03:17):
right now, have you asked andhave you asked plainly?
You are allowed to do this andwatch your life improve as you
do.
Until tomorrow, my friends.
So much love and ease.
