What’s Love Got To Do With It? Becoming You’s Version.
Nobody hates romantic love, but not everybody loves romantic love the same amount.That’s what makes romantic love a value. Because we get to choose how much of a role it plays in our life. For some of us, it drives all of our actions and decisions, from where we work to where we live to what we do every weekend. For others of us, being in a relationship is a “nice to have” not a “need to have” thing. Our partner matters – if we have one – but they aren’t the center of our existence.Cue the scary music!In this week’s podcast, our host Suzy Welch makes a momentous announcement, and with it, shares news about how we can all learn more about our own, personal level of love as a value. That’s information that matters for us individually as we search for our purpose in life, and it's information that could change how we relate to those around us. So, what’s love got to do with it? Just about everything. Tune in this week for a brand new look at an emotion that never gets old.

Career Confidential: Interviewing for Smarties
Much of the time, Becoming You finds itself getting, well, a little existential, because what is existential if not the question, “What should I do with my life?” But eventually, you have to take your answer to that question – or your vague idea of one – and get an actual day job with it. And thus, today’s episode of the pod is about the blocking and tackling of interviewing well. So well, in fact, that you get an offer.Welcome to another installment in our “Career Confidential” series, in which Suzy debates, discusses, and dissects the world of work with her big-hearted, no-BS Becoming You colleague, Dustin Lui, who, even at age 27, is a veteran of the job market, with literally hundreds of interviews under his belt. In a feisty 24 minutes, Dustin and Suzy compare best interviewing practices – and worst – and lay down a primer for getting you from knowing your purpose to landing the job that helps you live it.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Bristol. Has it Ever Happened to You?
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.

To Be, or Not to Be… a Mother: That Is the Question
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.

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.
