Becoming You with Suzy Welch

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.

    Not for me
    Wanted to like this, but couldn't get past the first couple of episodes. Not interested in a one-percenter go on and on about her dogs (women of a certain age who used to drone on about their privileged children now drone on about their privileged pets) and rubbing elbows with the clueless elitists in NYC who don't know and don't care how the rest of the world lives. Honestly, do these people listen to themselves? Do they not realize what an echo chamber they live in? The funny thing is I get the impression that the host would consider herself down-to-earth. But reading the rest of the reviews, I guess I'm in the minority here. Just not for me.
  • LearnerLou
    Brilliant
    I love this podcast and listen to it religiously. I’ve gained tools and languages to take with my on my journey and for the first time in my life I’m excited to dig deep to understand what I can do professionally that would get me energized and excited everyday.

    Consider Me Influenced
    I took a class with Suzy and started the Becoming You process so I decided to look up her podcast to learn more. The podcast is so engaging and thought-provoking. It inspires me to consider my values in all that I do, personally and professionally. I love listening to each episode and learning from her.
  • ASP in MA
    Looking forward to the book!
    I discovered this podcast last week and the timing is ideal. I’ve been wishing to find a “life coach,” but after listening to six episodes, I’m starting to feel that Becoming You will help me find my purpose as a recent empty nester.
  • So ready!

  • Nicholas327
    Excellent
    After weeks of seeing videos on social media of Suzy Welch discussing so many topics relevant to this late-20-something wondering what I want out of life, I finally bit the bullet and began listening to this podcast during my morning and evening commutes. Suzy Welch is a wonderful and engaging personality, and the perspectives, stories and pedagogy she speaks upon have forced me to think deeper about my ambitions and values.
  • Teutschie
    Can’t get enough!
    Currently in Suzy’s class at NYU and truly can’t get enough of her + understanding of values and how it’s helping define the life I want to live. 5+ stars!!!!
  • kaitlynY23
    5 stars isn’t enough!
    Suzy’s wisdom and brilliant shine in every episode. Her advice is compassionate, practical, and instantly actionable. I feel so lucky to have her guidance at my fingertips. A must listen for anyone seeking personal growth and self improvement in the business world or not. This podcast is such a gift!

    Inspiring, Funny, & Real
    Suzy has really good, actually useful advice for work and life — I wish I found this years ago!
  • joshuacookme
    Inspiring, thoughtful, real talk
    After getting laid off, a friend sent me Suzy Welch’s IG about life and career being a series of commas. And that losing a job and finding a new one wouldn’t kill me. Started following her and love her advice, especially as I explore new career paths. She’s funny, smart, love her trio of assistants. Actually good (not blanket) advice and tactical suggestions from someone who’s been there, is super smart, businsss savvy, down to earth, and hilarious. (I never write reviews but was moved to for this podcast.)
