Description

Have you ever wondered, “What should I do with my life?” Or, “Should I stay or should I go?” Or, “Is there anyone out there who actually tells the freaking truth about life and work today, but also does not leave me in despair?”

Wonder no more! The “Becoming You” podcast has arrived, hosted by Suzy Welch, the business journalist-turned-professor at the helm of NYU’s wildly popular self-discovery class by the same name. A three New York Times best-seller and frequent contributor to the Today Show and the Wall Street Journal, Professor Welch is considered a leading expert on decision-making, and the discovery and pursuit of authentic purpose. But virtually no topic is off-bounds in her irreverent new podcast, from parenting fails (including her own) to perfect poems (none of her own, thank God.) Also included: Pointed opinions on dogs, Gen Z, marriage, credit default swaps, golf skirts, career killing mistakes, and under-appreciated TV shows you really have to see immediately. OK, there is actually nothing in the podcast about credit default swaps.

Tune in every week to laugh, learn, get riled up, get calmed down, and basically get closer to becoming you, joyfully, in this crazy, upside-down, scary, messy, and altogether beautiful world we share.

We’re all supposed to love change. To embrace the journey. To lean into transformation. But what happens when we do? We grow, and with growth comes all sorts of a-ha moments, some wonderful, yes, but others that bring us to our knees before they bring us to our senses.In this deeply personal solo episode of Becoming You, our host Suzy Welch recounts the four powerful lessons she learned on the road to her PhD, which she was awarded this May at the University of Bristol in England. Each lesson is shared with the hopes of resonance with you, as you walk your own path toward reinvention and renewal. Some may soften your heart, others may make you laugh, and the last will surely surprise you. It surprised Suzy herself.Becoming You is a podcast about finding out who we are and then turning that discovery into reality. Join us this week as Suzy explores what that process has meant to her, in ways that may very well mean something to you too.

This week on Becoming You—the podcast that yearns to help you answer “What should I do with my life?”—a special mailbag episode tackles four listener questions, but looms the largest: “Life is already so hard,” it goes, “and careers are so complicated and relentless—why would anyone choose to have a child these days?”Typically, Becoming You’s host Suzy Welch is all about helping you hear your own inner voice; she is, as she likes to say, a “values agnostic.” This time is different, and through unflinching, deeply personal stories and a perspective that may challenge your assumptions, she confronts one of the biggest decisions of a lifetime head on and heart first. You may not agree with where she lands, but you will most likely be moved by how she got there.Also on the pod this week: Suzy answers a listener who wonders if it’s OK to be “working for the money” and the money only, and another listener who wonders how candid she should be in her job interviews about wanting work-life balance. A final listener challenges Suzy on the hot topic of whether “manifesting” is BS…or brilliant.In the end, this week’s episode isn’t just about motherhood or money—it’s about navigating the defining questions we all face on the road to becoming ourselves.

Every day, we make decisions—big, small, and everything in between, each one shaping our careers and relationships, and sometimes even the course of our entire lives. And yet, most of us were never taught how to actually make a decision. Instead, we accept the conventional wisdom: "Just trust your gut." Too bad that advice is only right half the time. Yep, research shows that gut has a 50% hit rate. So why not just go toss a coin? Or wait -- there's a better way, and it's so easy too. All you have to do it...press play. Because in this episode, Suzy breaks the simple decision-making system that changed her life when everything was falling apart, and then put it into success overdrive when things turned around. It’s called 10-10-10, and it’s not about quick fixes or perfect choices—it’s about clarity, confidence, values (of course!) and making peace with the decisions that define us. Becoming You is a methodology for finding our purpose. For answering the question, "What should I do with my life?" In this quick and powerful episode, learn how good decision-making can help turn Becoming You's findings into reality. And as a bonus, find out how 10-10-10 was born one very long, very humiliating day in Hawaii when Suzy's kids themselves decided to go for broke.

The demise of a job is rarely fun, whether it's by our own volition or not. Whether you've been fired or quit or somehow just eased out by mutual agreement and angst, every company separation is a little bit of a public death, and sometimes a personal one too. That's why it's OK to mourn, it's OK to rage -- for only a bit. After that, the work has to start. The inner work. In this podcast, Suzy shares the four probing questions to unearth what really happened -- and what you should do next. Tune in to find out why and how every ending at work has the power to be transformed into the life beginning you've been waiting for.

Welcome to a special “Career Confidential” episode of Becoming You! Listen in this week as host Suzy Welch, aided and abetted by her no-holds-barred colleague and mentee, Dustin Liu, turns the pod’s spotlight on job success—particularly, winning the interview game. But that’s not all. Dustin reveals his secret list of career lessons he has learned from Suzy over the past year, and runs them by her for reaction, explanation, and of course, a story or two about where they came from and why they really matter. (Spoiler alert: job interviews are definitely not what they seem.) This fast and seriously funny episode is not to be missed if you’re interested in supercharging your growth, and don’t mind a bit of “hmm, really?” along the way.

What happens when 50 of the world's most experienced life coaches gather in one room? Well, in this case, at Becoming You’s request, each one revealed the one “killer” question they need to know about you – that is, in order to take your life to the place it needs and wants to be. To explain: Just recently, the Becoming You methodology launched its first certification program at NYU Stern’s Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing. Some of the best life coaches from around the world were there, traveling from across the United States, as well as from Mexico, New Zealand, and the Netherlands. Each coach came to learn – but had so much to teach, too. Which prompted our host Suzy Welch to ask each attendee to share their one “unlock” question – the one that cuts straight to the heart of what's really going on when someone says, "I don't know what I want to do with my life." In this episode of Becoming You, we hear five of those questions straight from the coaches. But no surprise, Suzy has her thoughts on each as well. She dives deeply into each one, from sharing her own personal stories to a poignant poem about regret, weaving together insights about the "Four Horsemen" that gallop away with our values and Maslow's lesser-known concept of transcendence. These questions are at the heart of your journey to self-discovery and purpose. Start here to hear them, and begin the work of answering them in your own voice.

Does Britney Spears need Becoming You to figure out her purpose? In this week’s irreverent, laughter-filled episode, Britney’s #1 fan (yes, we’re talking about Suzy) puts that question to the test, exploring Britney’s search for meaning and personhood through the lens of values and the Becoming You methodology. But that’s not all. Because why not analyze more celebrities while you’re on a values-excavation tear? Suzy also applies Becoming You to two other luminaries she suggests might benefit from a purpose inventory: the red-hot White Lotus star Walton Goggins, and the mysterious and controversial...Elon Musk. You can’t say we didn’t go there. This may not sound like your typical Becoming You pod, but in some ways it remains Becoming You at its core–a rumination on meaning and purpose, within ourselves, and within all.

The Danger of a B+ Life

The Danger of a B+ Life

2025-07-0829:071

[Repeat from March, 2025.]  Buckle up, friends, because today we’re tackling one of life’s sneakiest traps—the B+ life. You get what that means: Good job, decent relationships, maybe even some great days. But most of the time? It’s just… fine. And fine is the enemy of flourishing. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, "What do I do with my life?" or feeling stuck in the search for an authentic life while you live in a good-enough version of the present, you’re not alone.In this episode of Becoming You, we’re diving deep into why so many of us settle for “pretty good” when an A+ life is possible. Suzy will introduce you to one of her favorite, wildly effective exercises—the question that rips the veil off mediocrity, a real values revealer: What would make you cry from regret on your 85th birthday? Learn how this is a powerful tool for self discovery and can help you find your purpose in ways you never expected.Along the way, we talk to Paige—a wonderful, successful woman stuck in a B+ life who’s got dreams of something still more wonderful and successful. She knows she’s meant for more, but fear, expectations, and the fear of "being seen" are holding her back. Can you relate? If so, listen in as we dig into how she can break free—and how you can, too.If you’ve ever felt like you’re coasting when you should be soaring, this episode is for you. Let’s get you out of that "velvet coffin" and into the authentic life you were meant to live. Finding purpose starts here.

It's time once again for a mailbag version of the Becoming You podcast, in which our host Suzy Welch replies out loud to a sampling of the DMs she usually answers in the time between when her dogs wake her every morning and it's safe to start emailing normal people. As usual, Becoming You's mailbag is a MIXED bag. One listener's question deals with retirement -- as in, "Why should I if I really don't want to?"  Another needs help thinking through her internal debate over helping people as a way of life. She was raised to think that was all she should do...but maybe it's not? Also in the pod this week, a listener pushes back on Suzy's contention that first jobs don't matter. He has a tough story to share -- and Suzy has some tough love to share back. Finally, Suzy answers one of Becoming You's most common questions, about values and how often they change. Her answer may surprise you.Tune in to find that out -- and so much more.  The Values Bridge digital assessment is available at thevaluesbridge.comPIE360 Feedback tool is available at pie360feedback.comWant more Becoming You?

Over the past two episodes, you’ve met Becoming You alumni Max and Kristen as they explored their values and aptitudes — the foundational work of figuring out who they are, and what their purpose should be.Now, in the final part of this special three-part series, it all comes together.This week, Suzy guides Max and Kristen through the final element of the Becoming You method: Economically Viable Interests (or “EVIs”). Not just what you love, but what the world will pay you to do — without asking you to betray yourself in the process.What happens next is the most powerful moment yet. Kristen makes a bold, life-changing move to align her values and calling. Max discovers that the life he always thought he wanted might not be the one he needs — and finds joy, purpose, and surprise (omelet-making included) in a place he never expected.This is where the process both concludes…and starts all over again. Not at a perfect answer — but at a new kind of clarity. If you’ve ever wondered what it actually looks like to ask, “What should I do with my life?” — and then do something about it — this is what real change looks like.

Last week, we began exploring the Becoming You process by uncovering values — the truths that quietly shape our choices and help point us towards our purpose. This week, we go deeper.In Part 2 of this three-part series, Suzy sits down again with alumni Max and Kristen to explore aptitudes — not the skills you’ve learned, but the ones you’re wired with.With some messy realness and a few surprises, Max and Kristen discover how their natural strengths explain not just what they’re good at — but why some roles never felt right.If you’ve ever been good at something but not fulfilled by it — or found yourself asking, “What should I do with my life?” — this episode may change how you see your strengths, your path, and what’s been missing.

You’ve heard the phrase “Becoming You” — maybe in a friend’s recommendation, maybe in a moment when your own life felt off-track. But what does it really mean to “become” yourself?In this powerful first episode of a special three-part series, Suzy Welch — professor, career expert, and the host of Becoming You — takes you inside the very first and most foundational part of the process: the excavation of your core values.This isn’t about personality types or feel-good labels. It’s about uncovering the truths that quietly drive your choices — and figuring out why your life may not feel quite right, even when it looks good on paper.You’ll meet Kristen and Max, two people with wildly different backgrounds and stories, both of whom bravely open their lives to the Becoming You method. Kristen had everything she thought she wanted — the career, the family, the checklist complete — but something wasn’t clicking. Max had the dream job and the admiration of his peers, but also a deep, persistent misalignment he couldn’t explain. What happens when they begin to name the values they’ve been living by — and the ones they’ve been ignoring?Honest, funny, and deeply moving, this episode gives you a front-row seat to the moment where change begins. If you’ve ever wondered whether Becoming You could work for you — this is where you’ll find out.

Before Becoming You was a methodology, a class, or a book — it was a question. A question that our host Suzy Welch grappled with for decades as she sought to make her way in the world, as a wife, journalist, mother, and professor. Is it ever really possible to write the story of our own lives, or are we fated to edit the script handed to us by our family, culture, and circumstances? In time, Suzy came to realize that her answer was…yes. And it wasn’t just her answer, she believed, it was all of ours. In this intimate and thoughtful episode, Suzy sits down with her daughter Sophia to explore two of the books that helped her reach that conclusion, and thus shape the entire Becoming You Methodology. They are The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen and Peace Like a River by Leif Enger. What begins as a conversation about literature quickly turns inward — becoming a candid reflection on generational patterns, personal reinvention, and the question that sits at the center of Suzy’s work and the Becoming You journey for all who take it.

This week, we return to questions from the Becoming You reunion in New York — and to the complicated truth of what can happen after you find your purpose.First, you’ll meet Molly, who lands a job that aligns with her values — only to discover it comes with layoffs and instability. Then there’s Tim, an alum from the very first Becoming You cohort, who wonders whether we get to become ourselves more than once.What follows is a real conversation about the trade-offs of living your values, the unexpected upside of getting fired, and what it actually takes to keep evolving with purpose.If you’ve ever asked, “What should I do with my life?” — and then asked it again six months later — you’ll feel right at home.

Recently, the Becoming You community gathered in person for a special event —  and the questions were as big as ever.This episode features two Becoming You alumni facing different versions of the same dilemma: how do you move toward your purpose when it’s either far away… or still a little fuzzy? McKenna is a sustainability consultant by day and aspiring Broadway producer by night. Cole is a filmmaker-turned-professor whose values test with everything in the middle — leaving him unsure how to sharpen the path forward.Hear their questions — and the answers they receive — with candor, joy, and, yes, a well-earned rant about the one part of the methodology people tend to avoid (and shouldn’t).If you’ve ever asked yourself “What should I do with my life?” — and then wondered how fast to run toward the answer — this one’s for you.

This week on Becoming You, we’re diving into the heart of it all: the methodology that’s changing lives, one purpose at a time. Whether you’re a first-time listener or a longtime fan (love you, by the way), this episode is your ultimate guide to answering the question that occupies us all heart, mind, and soul: What should I do with my life? In this foundational episode, Suzy takes you on a no-holds-barred journey through the Becoming You process, a framework she’s honed at NYU Stern School of Business and beyond. You’ll discover how your purpose lies at the intersection of three powerful forces: your values, your aptitudes, and your economically viable interests. But this isn’t some woo-woo self-help spiel. It’s a gritty, honest, and scientifically grounded approach to uncovering the life you were born to live. Along the way, Suzy shares two unforgettable stories of transformation—one explosive reinvention, one subtle yet profound tweak. Both will leave you inspired to confront the gap between the life you’re living and the life you’re meant to lead. And yes, there’s also a wacky confession about Joan of Arc (or “Joanie Baby,” as Suzy calls her) that ties it all together. If you’re ready to stop running in circles and start running toward your purpose, this is the episode for you.

Every book has a backstory, and Becoming You (published today, heck yeah!) is no exception. In this episode, we go behind the scenes — not just of the writing of the book, but of the emotional excavation and journey of reinvention it required. Told Rashomon-style, this funny, poignant, and intimate episode features the voices of the people who lived the story alongside Suzy: her children, best friend, co-workers, even her trainer. Together, they trace the winding path from personal heartbreak to public purpose—starting with Suzy’s interior reckoning after the death of her husband, through the surprise success of Becoming You as a course at NYU, and her deep hesitation about turning the methodology into a book.At its core, Becoming You is a self-discovery method that helps people answer life’s most important question: What should I do with my life? And Suzy knew that writing it down—truly doing it justice—would take everything she had.But everything shifts after an unexpected walk in the woods with her daughter—a moment of clarity that becomes the turning point.This is the story of how Becoming You came to be. And it’s also the story of how Suzy, in writing it, became herself.

It’s one of the more painful human experiences: being judged not for what we’ve done, but for what we value. This episode examines why those moments leave such a lasting mark — and why, so often, we end up doing the same to others. Listeners share stories of judgment given and received, and the consequences of not finding the right words when it mattered most. Alongside them, a provocative remedy: a way out of the cycle that strains relationships, narrows futures, and obscures purpose.In Becoming You, the question “What should I do with my life?” sits at the heart of every conversation. This episode explores how judgment can silence that question — sometimes before we even have the chance to ask it.  The Values Bridge digital assessment is available at thevaluesbridge.comPIE360 Feedback tool is available at pie360feedback.comWant more Becoming You?

We’re told to live intentionally — to take the reins, to choose boldly. But often, without realizing it, we drift. Titles accumulate, opportunities knock, life happens. And suddenly, the path we’re on isn’t one we meant to choose.In this episode, two listeners — separated by decades — unknowingly echo the same story: ambition deferred, then redefined. Alongside them, four saboteurs of intentional living: a framework for examining how and why we lose direction, and what it takes to course-correct towards a clearer sense of purpose.This is a conversation about decisions, drifts, and recalibration to get to a better answer to the question, “What should I do with my life?” A candid look at how people find themselves far from where they wanted to go — and what it might take to begin again.   The Values Bridge digital assessment is available at thevaluesbridge.comPIE360 Feedback tool is available at pie360feedback.comWant more Becoming You?
