What if the very things you’re tempted to hide are the reasons people will trust you most? We explore a simple shift that unlocks clarity and courage: move from “What do I want?” to “What am I here to give?” By reframing hardship as credentials, your story—debt paid off, a fertility journey, a divorce weathered, a creative solution found—becomes the proof someone else needs to take their next step.

Episode Transcript
Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.
I've learned along the way thatoften our struggles, our
challenges, our adversities,what we've been through, whether
they feel big and dramatic ormore minor in nature, they
(00:21):
become our credentials, right?
They're not disqualifiers,they're not bad things, they're
not things to hide.
They become our credentials.
I ask myself this all the time,where I repeat myself all the
time in the work that I do, thatyour life is your cred.
And I think to myself, if whatI've been through is my cred,
how can I lean in more?
(00:43):
What else is it that I have togive?
If you're in any of my mediaprograms, you'll hear me say
often, your life is your cred.
Getting out of debt, yourfertility story, your traveling
adventures, getting through adivorce, uh figuring out
something, a solution to aproblem, they're your
credentials.
It's enough.
You are ready to bless otherswith what it is that you know.
(01:07):
But if you feel lost, if youfeel uncertain around this time,
sometimes it's because we'reasking the wrong questions.
And often uh a question thatcomes up when we're
self-focused, when we're focusedon what we want to do next is
you know, what do I want?
What matters to me?
What's my passion?
And look, they are goodquestions.
(01:28):
But sometimes a better question,a more expansive question is
this What am I here to give?
It's not what do I want?
What do I want?
What do I want?
Although, nothing wrong withthat.
Desires are powerful, they'reappropriate, they're perfect.
But what if we shift to what amI here to give?
Are you here to bring joy?
(01:48):
Are you here to bring solutions?
Are you here to make theenvironment better?
Are you here to encourage peopleto read?
Are you here to help familyfamilies connect over homemade
dinners?
What is it that you are here togive that's uniquely you?
And think about it.
What it is that you're here togive isn't gonna be what your
(02:10):
sister is here to give, isn'tgonna be what your best friend
is here to give, isn't gonna bewhat that person you look up to
necessarily is here to give.
When we shift from my desire to,what do I have to offer?
It's like the quote, is it fromPicasso?
I think the quote that, youknow, I'm I'm gonna mess this up
a little bit, but it's somethinglike, you know, uh, your purpose
(02:32):
is to find your gift, or thereason for you being here is to
know your gift, but the realpurpose is to give it away.
I think about this.
Rivers don't drink their ownwater, trees don't create oxygen
for themselves, flowers don'tcreate their scent to enjoy it.
It's for others.
That's the basis of nature,that's the basis of humanity.
(02:54):
So what are you here to give?
And let me add, often yourhardest chapters become the
exact, the precise reason peopletrust you.
It's why they want to speak tosomeone who's been there, who
knows it, who's been in theirshoes, who might just be a
little further ahead down theroad.
(03:16):
Your struggles aren'tdisqualifiers, they're not
something we want to, you know,kick behind us and hide and
conceal from others.
They're often our best andhighest credentials.
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.
