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 101: You Were Born To Do This
    May 13 2025

    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. [Repeat]

  • Becoming You and…Becoming Me: The Untold Story, Until Now, Because, Well, Here It Is
    May 6 2025

    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.

  • You Were Judged. You Judged Back. Now What?
    Apr 29 2025

    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.
