About this listen

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.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.

  • Becoming You: The Process Gets Real (Part 3) When All the Pieces Click into Place
    Jun 24 2025

    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
    Jun 17 2025

    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
    Jun 10 2025

    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.
