  • Summary

  • 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.

    You’re Fine. You’re Good. You’re…Trapped?
    Feb 11 2025

    The Becoming You method of purpose-discovery is based on the premise that there’s one wild and precious life that we’re each meant to live. But it also acknowledges that there’s real life out there.

    Real life is where we too often cede our hoped-for dreams of purpose and joy to the many seemingly inescapable demands, constraints, obstacles and challenges that come with work and family and well, everything.

    Real life is why so many of us end up living in “The Velvet Coffin,” a term Suzy uses to describe the comfortable accommodation we can make with a life on pause. “It’s OK,” we tell ourselves when that happens. “Sure, I’m making some compromises. Sure, I’m postponing stuff. But this is how it has to be right now.”

    Right now can last a long time, can’t it?

    It doesn’t have to be that way.

    Tune into Becoming You this week as Suzy talks about how and why we end up in the Velvet Coffin – sometimes without even noticing it – and best of all, how we can push our way out before it’s too late. (PS: It’s never too late.)

    You Love Your Family. You Love Your Work. You Hate How That Feels.
    Feb 4 2025
    What happens when two forces, your home life and your work life —both central to your identity—need you with equal urgency at the exact same moment? Well, chaos happens. Or guilt. Or angst. Or sheer, utter exhaustion. Or...all of the above. In this episode, Suzy gets into a heart-to-heart with Jennifer, a woman who finds herself caught in a battle between two of her deepest values: her unwavering commitment to work and her devotion to her family. It’s a struggle Suzy knows all too well—because once upon a time, she was Jennifer. Her battle scars lead her to counsel Jennifer with an answer you may not expect.Want more Becoming You?

  • Four Questions To Turn Your Firing Into the Best Day of Your Life

    Four Questions To Turn Your Firing Into the Best Day of Your Life
    Jan 28 2025
    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.Want more Becoming You? Pre-order the Becoming You Book.
