  • The Danger of a B+ Life
    [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.

  • The Becoming You Mailbag: Burning Questions Everywhere
    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?

  • Becoming You: The Process Gets Real (Part 3) When All the Pieces Click into Place
    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.

  • Becoming You: The Process Continues (Part 2) How Knowing What You’re Good At Changes Everything
    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.

  • Becoming You: The Process Begins (Part 1) Inside the Values Deep Dive That Changes Everything
    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.

About Becoming You with Suzy Welch

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.
