  The Three Things No One Tells You About Happiness 28.07.2026 39min

  This week on Becoming You, your host Suzy Welch tackles the value everyone assumes they already understand: happiness. Using data from the Values Bridge — the assessment that has now been taken by hundreds of thousands of people — Suzy reveals that Eudemonia, the value of personal happiness, self care, flourishing, and fun, is far from universal. It skews by gender, it drops off sharply with age, and it even shifts with income. Suzy traces the philosophical fault lines around happiness, from Aristotle's insistence that it's a whole life and not a good afternoon, to the Stoics' case for tranquility over feeling, to the Buddhist idea that the chase itself might be the trap. Along the way, she shares a deeply personal story about discovering Dostoevsky in tenth grade and dropping it on her family at Christmas dinner — with her sister Elin along to set the record straight. Whether Eudemonia sits at the top of your values list or, like Suzy's, near the bottom, this episode makes the case that knowing exactly where you stand on fun and self care is one of the most useful things you can know about yourself.As a Becoming You podcast listener, use code PODCAST for 50% off The Values Bridge. You are always growing and evolving and so are we.

  Your Values Aren’t What You Think They Are 21.07.2026 47min

  This week on Becoming You, your host Suzy Welch takes a step back to answer a question that is central to the podcast and the Becoming You methodology: what even are values? Values are one of the three core data sets at the heart of the Becoming You methodology, alongside interests and aptitudes, but Suzy's research shows that only 17% of people actually understand what values are — and just 7% know their own. So before going any further with the series, this episode is a full reset: a deep dive into what values actually mean.Suzy lays out the real definition — values are the deeply held beliefs that drive our choices, not to be confused with virtues, the things we all agree are simply good to have — and then puts that definition to the test by reacting in real time to a lineup of well-known voices weighing in on values, including Mark Manson, Ellen DeGeneres, Matthew McConaughey, Jay Shetty, and Gary Vee. Along the way, Suzy separates genuine values from virtues, life advice, and personality traits, and introduces her own framework, the Values Bridge, along with the "four horsemen of values destruction" that keep people from living the values they actually hold.She also answers one of the questions she gets asked most often: can your values change? Suzy explains why the answer is more nuanced than most people think — and what it takes to actually uncover your own value hierarchy.With this foundation in place, Suzy sets up what's coming next: a full series working through each of the 16 values in the Welch Bristol Values Inventory, one by one. Ready to know yourself better?

  The Insult That Changed My Life Could Change Yours — and Probably Should. (Part 3) 14.07.2026 47min

  This week on Becoming You, your host Suzy Welch delivers the finale of one of the most personal series she has ever shared on this podcast. Part 3 has it all: the last three aptitude tools, the twist she wasn't sure she'd tell, and the moment the whole story finally makes sense.For anyone just arriving: go back. Don't worry, we'll wait! Parts 1 and 2 are there for you, and this ending lands so much more when you know where it started.For everyone who's been here from the beginning, here's where we are. Suzy walks through the final three tools she uses in her Becoming You class at NYU Stern to help students identify their aptitudes: the Career Traits Compass, a framework she developed herself; the Enneagram, explored in depth with one of the world's leading experts, Rasanath Das; and the Viewfinder, a 360-degree tool that reveals something most people overlook entirely — how the world actually experiences you.And then there's Dan. The classmate who humiliated Suzy in front of 90 people at Harvard Business School back in 1988. The story this whole series has been building toward. The epilogue Suzy wasn't sure she'd share, and the one she now believes may be the real reason she wanted to tell this story at all.The conviction at the heart of all of it: know your aptitudes, claim them, and live them, because you cannot let someone else write your story for you.Ready to know yourself better?

  The Insult That Changed My Life Could Change Yours — and Probably Should. (Part 2) 07.07.2026 40min

  Last week, Suzy Welch got publicly humiliated at Harvard Business School. This week? Revenge.In Part 2 of this three-part series, Suzy picks up where the insult left off — tracing what happened in the immediate aftermath of the incident, the fire it lit inside her, and the very Sicilian response she chose: becoming a Baker Scholar, joining Bain, and making sure no one ever had to guess what her brain was capable of again. Her first husband Eric is back as an eyewitness to all of it.But this episode isn't just about Suzy's story. It's about yours. Because once Suzy understood what her aptitudes actually were — and learned how to name them — everything changed. And the same can happen for you.That's why today she's diving into the first of four ways to identify your cognitive aptitudes, featuring the assessment she uses in her Becoming You class at NYU Stern: YouScience. Aptitudes expert and Your Hidden Genius co-author Betsy Wills is back to walk you through what it measures, what it reveals, and why the results have a way of making everything suddenly make sense.Next week: the final three aptitude assessments, including the Enneagram — and the unexpected epilogue to the Dan story that Suzy still hasn't fully made sense of herself.Ready to know yourself better?

  The Insult That Changed My Life Could Change Yours — and Probably Should. (Part 1) 30.06.2026 49min

  This week on Becoming You, your host Suzy Welch opens a three-part series with a confession: she is, apparently, obsessed with insults. Creative ones. Clever ones. The kind that hit so precisely they feel almost prophetic. And there's a reason for that — because once, a long time ago, one insult hit her so hard and so publicly that it changed the entire trajectory of her life. And it just might change yours.But before she gets to the story, Suzy makes the case for something most of us can't actually do: name our aptitudes. Not what we've been told we're good at. Not what we've practiced or studied our way into. Our real, inborn, wired-in strengths, the ones that explain, once you finally see them clearly, why certain things came easily and others never did, no matter how hard you tried.To help unpack what aptitudes actually are, Suzy sits down with Betsy Wills, co-author of Your Hidden Genius and one of the world's foremost experts on the subject. And then, for the first time on this podcast, Suzy calls in her first husband, Eric, who had a front-row seat the day the insult landed and knew exactly who Suzy was before it changed her.The story is told in excruciating detail. The rage is real. And the revenge? That comes next week.Part 2 arrives next week.Ready to know yourself better? Start here, with The Values Bridge. You are always growing and evolving and so are we.

  No One Can Get a Job Right Now. So Now What? 23.06.2026 57min

  Jannah had a spreadsheet with 340 job applications — organized by posting date, job type, and application portal — because it was the only thing that made her feel like she had any control. Kevin applied to hundreds of jobs, got so beaten down by rejection that he stopped entirely, then made himself start again. Both went to elite universities. Both did everything right. Both will tell you: it was brutal out there.This week on Becoming You, your host Suzy Welch sits down with two employed Gen Z-ers on her own team, and pulls no punches about what's actually happening in this job market, why it's happening, and what you do about it.Suzy drops data that reframes everything: 60% of 2026 graduates are pessimistic about their careers. 70% ended up in fields unrelated to what they studied. And only 2% of Gen Z has the values hiring managers are actually looking for.They get into the worst career advice ever given, the red flag no one warns you about in job interviews, and the one thing you can say to a hiring manager that will stop them cold, in the best possible way. And Jannah asks the question underneath all of it: how do you plan a career when you can't see what's coming?Take the Becoming You One-Day Intensive this June on NYU’s campus, here.Ready to know yourself better?

  Can You Heal a Wound Your Father Never Knew He Left? with Vienna Pharaon, MFT 16.06.2026 46min

  As the poem goes, “They f-you up, your mom and dad. They may not mean to, but they do.” If Father's Day has ever felt more like something you just get through than something you celebrate, this episode is for you.This week on Becoming You, your host Suzy Welch sits down with Vienna Pharaon — licensed marriage and family therapist and author of The Origins of You — for a conversation they were both a little ambivalent to have. The topic: what happens when your relationship with your father is complicated. And why that has been so hard to say out loud.They dig into what it actually looks like to do the healing work, why no contact is more nuanced than the internet makes it seem, and whether we ever really "make our peace" with a parent who hurt us. They both share their own complicated relationships with their fathers, and what it means when that relationship doesn’t look like what you’d expect. If Father's Day has ever had a charge to it for you, this conversation might be exactly what you need.Find Vienna Pharaon on Instagram: @mindfulmftWhat is Your Origin Wound?

  What If a Yellow Dress, in the Pages of Vogue, Told the Story of Your Life? Part 2 09.06.2026 40min

  Francesca Pilato did not do what she was told. Not once. Not ever. And in 1929 Rochester, New York, that came with consequences no one in her family would talk about for generations.This week, your host Suzy Welch finishes the 123-year story of her grandmother — a Sicilian immigrant who survived the unthinkable, built something extraordinary, and left behind a yellow dress that sat untouched on a shelf for 30 years. The question is: why wouldn't Suzy wear it?The answer has everything to do with two values — not virtues — of Voice and Agency. And the difference between judging the people who shaped you and finally having the compassion to let them be exactly who they were.Part 2 of 2. The scandal lands. The survival begins.

  What If a Yellow Dress, in the Pages of Vogue, Told the Story of Your Life? Part 1 02.06.2026 35min

  A photo in Vogue. A 98-year-old mother's scream of joy. And a 123-year story that begins in a sulfur mine in Sicily and ends — somehow — at New York City's most glamorous luncheon.This week, your host Suzy Welch starts at the end: a yellow dress, handknit from silk ribbon by her immigrant grandmother, photographed at the Hat Luncheon and published in Vogue. But to understand why that moment meant everything, you have to go back. Way back. We're talking Caltanissetta, Sicily, in 1903, and a family shrouded in secrecy and silence.Part 1 of this two-part series sets the scene: from the dazzling spectacle of the Hat Luncheon to the gritty, industrial world Suzy's family fought to escape.

  What If You Could Blow Up Your Life and Start Again? 26.05.2026 46min

  What if blowing up your life isn't reckless, but actually the most rational thing you've ever done? This week, your host Suzy Welch sits down with two women who actually did just that. Cassie is a Forbes Top 200 CPA who walked away from 22 years of accolades, corner offices, and everything she was "supposed" to be. Marilyn Dollar is a certified Becoming You coach who helped her do it, and who has her own story of reinvention.  What follows is a masterclass in what living at the intersection of your values, aptitudes, and interests actually looks like in real life — which is precisely where the Becoming You methodology argues your real purpose lies. This episode chronicles the process and moment that Cassie stopped asking "why?" and started asking "why not?" This episode is for anyone who has ever stood at the edge of their own life and wondered if it's too late to leap. It isn't. There is no use-by date on becoming yourself.

  My Ouchy Advice to Parents of New Graduates. Please Take It. 19.05.2026 43min

  It's graduation season. And you, mom and dad, are about to make some very big, very loving, very misguided mistakes. This week on Becoming You, your host Suzy Welch — professor, author, parent of four, and someone who got the post-graduation parenting thing spectacularly wrong at least twice before she got it right — delivers the advice nobody is giving at the graduation party.  Here's the ouchy truth: you are focused on entirely the wrong problem. The problem is not that your kid is unemployed. The problem is that your kid is unaimed. And those two things require completely different solutions. In this episode, Suzy walks you through the brutal math of this job market, the expensive lie hiding inside the grad school "solution," and the hard conversation about values that most parents are afraid to have.  The last piece of advice is the ouchy-est of all: how not to become the villain in your child's story, and how to become something far more powerful instead.

  My Only Regret: I'd Do It All Faster ft. Danielle Robay 12.05.2026 48min

  It started with a question from a student that stopped Suzy cold: "When you look back on your life, is there anything you regret? Anything you would do differently?" Without hesitation, Suzy's answer was: Yes. I would have done everything faster. This week on Becoming You, your host Suzy Welch sits down with the Queen of Questions herself, Danielle Robay — journalist, host of Question Everything and Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club. They wrestle with one of life's most loaded questions: have you been moving through your life too fast, or too slow? And does it even matter, if you don't know who you are yet? They go after the decisions we've all made too slowly — staying in the wrong marriage, the wrong job, the wrong friendship — not because we didn't know the answer, but because we didn't yet know ourselves well enough to trust it. Suzy gets personal about the fifteen-year career detour she didn't need to take, the marriage she stayed in too long, and the moment when she finally understood that it was over. Danielle opens up about her own hustle, her rock bottoms, and the boyfriend who told her, while she was crying on the kitchen floor, to welcome herself to the club of people who are actually trying. The verdict? There is one truth that cuts through everything: the better you know your values, the better and faster every decision becomes. Ready to know yourself better?

  I Raised Four Perfect Children. You Will Hate How I Did It. You’re Welcome. 05.05.2026 46min

  OK, first of all, they are not actually perfect. But they are perfectly happy and healthy. They have lives they love, partners they adore, and jobs that light them up. And perhaps most importantly for our purposes today: they think their mother is the greatest thing since Krispy Creme Donuts. So. Don’t believe it? Tune in to hear right from them. In this Mother's Day episode, your host Suzy Welch shares the three rules she mothered by, and they are not what you'd expect. They are not soft. But they come from a place of deep love, hard-won experience, and a completely genuine obsession with getting the one thing right that she believed actually mattered. Suzy will also tell you about the Sod House mothers of the Great Plains, and why she thought about them every single day she was raising her kids. Even during the really bad weeks. Especially during the really bad weeks. This episode is for every mother who is in it right now — tired, uncertain, doing her absolute best, and wondering if it's going to be enough. Suzy is here to tell you: it is. And someday, it's going to feel so easy and so joyful that you'll wish you could go back and tell yourself so. Until then, happy Mother's Day.

  Sixteen Words That Will Change How You See Yourself…and the People Around You (Part 3) 28.04.2026 44min

  What if the reason we so often talk past each other in relationships, at work, across dinner tables, isn't stubbornness or selfishness, but simply that we don't share a common language for what we actually want? In the third and final installment of this series, your host Suzy Welch, creator of the scientifically validated values-discovery assessment tool The Values Bridge, draws on a story as old as time to make a bold argument: that the 16-word language of values might be one of the few things that can actually help us understand each other, not just ourselves. Cue: the Tower of Babel. In Part I, Suzy revealed her 5 peripheral values. In Part II, her 6 moderate values. Today she reveals the big five: her core values, ranked. They might surprise you, and will no doubt prompt you to question how you've been organizing your own life. Are you a nomad, or do you only thrive in certain locations? Do you crave excitement and stimulation, or prefer calm and stability? Do you want to change the world on nothing short of a systemic level? All of that maps directly to your values, and Suzy is answering it all here. If you're ready to discover your own 16 values, take the Values Bridge assessment linked in the show notes, and let us know your core values in a review.

  Sixteen Words That Give You Permission…to Admit What You Want (Part 2) 21.04.2026 52min

  Is it shallow to want fame? Greedy to want money? Wrong to rank work above family? This episode is about the values nobody wants to admit they have. In Part II of this special three-part series, your host, NYU Stern Professor Dr. Suzy Welch, continues doing something she has never done publicly before: ranking all 16 of her personal values, in order. She uses the lexicon found within The Values Bridge, the scientifically validated assessment she developed through her doctoral research at the University of Bristol. The Values Bridge identifies 16 distinct values — each one a specific want, desire, or motivation — and gives each a name most of us have never encountered before. Learning that language is the point. Because once you can name your values with precision, everything changes: your career decisions, your relationships, your sense of purpose. This episode covers Suzy's moderate six values, and each one comes with a surprising data point about how Americans rank it in their own lives. Along the way, Suzy explains the Becoming You methodology, the science-backed framework used by over 500,000 people with a 94% efficacy rate, and why knowing your values with precision is the missing key to finding your purpose.  If you haven't listened to Part I yet, you can go there after. By the end of this series, you’ll be fluent in the language of values. And if you're ready to discover your own using The Values Bridge, you can find the link in the show notes.

  Sixteen Words that Will Set You Free…To Be You (Part I) 14.04.2026 47min

  What if 16 words could unlock everything — who you are, why you're happy (or not), and what you should actually be doing with your life? In this episode, Suzy Welch introduces the language of values: the 16 words at the heart of the Welch-Bristol Values Inventory, developed through her doctoral research at the University of Bristol and taught at NYU's Stern School of Business.  To bring each of the 16 values to life, Suzy does something she has never done publicly before — she reveals her own values, ranked from 1 to 16. This episode covers her bottom five peripheral values, a set that turns out to be statistically unusual. This is Part I of a three-part series. By the end, you'll not only know Suzy in a whole new way, but you’ll be fluent in a language that just might help you write the entire book of your life.

  FAQs: You Know What You Want. So Why Can't You Get There? 07.04.2026 30min

  At some point in the journey of becoming…you, questions are inevitable. Questions about who you are, how you got here, and what it really takes to build a life that feels authentic. You've done the work. You've taken the tests. You've started asking the hard questions about who you are and what you actually want. And now you're left with a whole new set of questions. In this FAQ episode, your host Suzy Welch answers everything you’ve been wondering. Why do some people feel more lost after a self-discovery breakthrough than before? What's the hidden score that reveals the gap between the life you're living and the life you actually want — and what does it mean when that gap is huge? When does a passion become a calling, and when is it just a really good hobby? And what do you do when you can see exactly where you're supposed to be going — but getting there feels like too much? Suzy answers all of it with real stories, zero sugarcoating, and the kind of clarity that makes you want to take notes. Because figuring out who you are is only the beginning.

  Whether you're brand new to this podcast or have been here from the beginning, this episode is your official welcome—or welcome back—to Becoming You. In this episode, Suzy revisits the origins of a methodology that has quietly changed the way tens of thousands of people think about their lives and careers. She does it the only way that felt right: with everyone's favorite parlor game. Two truths, one lie, and the real story behind how Becoming You came to exist—and why it works when so much else hasn't. Fair warning: at least one thing you currently believe about self-discovery is wrong. Probably a big one. And Suzy has been waiting for exactly this moment to tell you which one—because it's the lie so widespread, so well-intentioned, and so genuinely unhelpful that it may explain why previous attempts didn't stick. You'll walk away understanding two foundational truths behind the acclaimed Becoming You methodology—and one myth that may have been quietly running your life. If you've ever wondered: Is it too late to find my purpose? Can I change direction now? What does this work actually require of me? This podcast is for you, and that's the whole truth and nothing but. Take the Becoming You Three-Day Intensive course this May on NYU’s campus, here.
