What if the unknown isn’t a threat but the place your next breakthrough is hiding? We dive into the everyday practice of trusting what you can’t control, and why your relationship with uncertainty is really a mirror for self-trust. Along the way, I share a personal story about almost buying the wrong apartment—pushing hard, praying, doing affirmations—only to discover that the deal falling through was protection, not failure. That twist became a lesson in letting go of rigid outcomes and allowing a better path to emerge.

Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.
If you're in Self-CoachingSociety, you will have already
answered these questions with melive on our one of our December
coaching calls.
And the topic has been yourrelationship with uncertainty.
(00:24):
Your relationship withuncertainty, can I just say that
uncertainty is a mirror for yourself-trust?
It's also a mirror for yourtrust in the greater good, the
collective, the one, the God,whatever you wish to call it.
Your relationship withuncertainty will define every
(00:47):
single thing in your life.
How do you feel about it?
How do you feel aboutuncertainty?
Because let me uh let me sharesomething with you.
Newsflash, everything'suncertain.
Tomorrow isn't guaranteed, thenext hour isn't guaranteed.
We have never lived in certaintimes, ever in history.
Tell me one day we've lived withcomplete certainty that we knew
(01:07):
what would happen 100%.
It's always uncertain.
So I've got a couple questionsfor you today.
If uncertainty is something thatyou don't have the most uh
close, gorgeous, trustingrelationship with.
What's the best thing that'sever happened to you that you
(01:30):
did not plan?
Think about that.
What's the best thing that everhappened to you that you did not
plan?
Maybe it was missing love ofyour life, getting a career
opportunity, falling pregnant.
I mean, there are so many thingsthat we don't expect that we
didn't plan, that turned out tobe the best thing that ever
happened to us.
What does that reveal to youabout uncertainty?
(01:54):
Maybe it's not bad, maybe it'snot good, maybe it's this
neutral thing that is that is infact always working in our favor
in the short term or the longterm.
What do you assume will happenif you don't try to control a
specific outcome?
(02:14):
Do you think that'll be adisaster?
Do you think everything will goto pot?
Do you think there'll be thisterrible, terrible experience
that oh my gosh, you simplycould not go through, you would
not survive it?
But if you look back at yourlife, if you look at back at
your history with the universe,if you didn't control an
outcome, a bit like that timethat something uh unplanned
(02:38):
happened and it worked outreally well, has your assumption
ever been wrong?
If you don't try to control theoutcome of whatever it is you
most want right now, what do youassume will happen?
And in the past, has thatassumption ever been wrong?
I almost bought the wrongapartment once.
(03:01):
Praise God that didn't happen.
I would have uh I ended upbuying an apartment that I
didn't love as much, just interms of my own um personal
preferences.
Six months later, we left Sydneywhere I bought the apartment and
moved to New York and made anincredible profit on the
apartment that we did purchaseversus the other apartment that
(03:21):
had some problems.
I realized later.
I tried so hard to control theoutcome.
I was pretty much bribing thereal estate agents to do what
they could to lock me in.
It turns out it wasn't a goodinvestment, and I tried
everything.
I prayed, I walked, I didaffirmations, and my assumption
was wrong.
I assumed I knew the bestapartment for me.
(03:44):
I was wrong.
The universe was protecting me.
It felt uncertain, I wasannoyed, I felt loss, I felt
frustration.
But this is just one example ofmany.
When has this been true for you?
Where can uncertainty, in fact,be your friend?
What if uncertainty right now iswhere your next miracle is
(04:07):
hiding?
If that were true, how would youshow up today?
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.
