Lots of people want to help other people. In their jobs. In their lives. In fact, lots of people would tell you "helping" is one of their main values. They only wish they could do it more. How wonderful that is in theory...and how complicated that can be in real life.Every week, Becoming You -- the podcast that aims to answer the question, "What do I do with my life?"  -- explores what it actually takes to find and embrace your authentic life. And each week, we talk about the role of values in that journey. YOUR values, that is.This week, we put the spotlight on two values that often get confused because they're both about helping, Radius and Non Sibi.Radius is the value held by people who want to change the world. They yearn to be a part of big, systemic change -- the stuff legacies are made of. Non Sibi is the value that motivates people who want to help on a more intimate scale. We're talking small and personal acts of kindness, compassion, and aid. Both values are wonderful and powerful in their own way -- but they are truly distinct. What unites them is that they often, well, hurt in their application. How so? We'll discuss. There can be no talking about helping without talking about its trade-offs.To bring this pod and its ideas to life, we visit a farm (yes, with real pigs) to meet Rachel McCrystal, who followed a cow upstate, and never left for the sake of her cause. Then, we scrub in at a trauma unit with Dr. Jodie Taylor, whose Non Sibi mindset fuels her in the operating arena...and at the grocery store alike. Their stories aren’t just inspiring—they’re a mirror for all of us.Because when you understand your values, life’s biggest decisions suddenly become clearer. And maybe, just maybe, the path forward starts to reveal itself.So let’s dive in. Pigs, finding purpose, and the inevitable "ouch" of altruism—all here in this week’s Becoming You.

What does it mean to find your purpose or to have an authentic life? Are either of those goals actually attainable – really? In this episode of Becoming You, Suzy sits down with bestselling author and top podcast host Liz Moody for an insightful—and at times surprising—conversation about Eudemonia, the often-misunderstood “happiness value” that can make or break your relationships, career, and sense of purpose. Liz recently took the Becoming You values assessment, and let’s just say, her results were revealing. We’re unpacking what it means when your top value is at odds with your reality and how understanding your values can be the key to designing a life that truly fits you.But this isn’t just a conversation about self-care and balance—it’s about the hard truths of relationships, the hidden forces that drive our biggest decisions, and the real work of becoming who we’re meant to be. Liz opens up about her own struggles with grief, the pressure of professional ambition, and how knowing your core values can help you better navigate love, career, and even loss. Whether you’re someone who prioritizes joy or you’ve always put achievement first, this episode will challenge you to rethink what fulfillment really looks like—and how to start living in alignment with the life you want today.Listen to Suzy's conversation on The Liz Moody Podcast called How To Figure Out Your Dream Career (And Actually Get It!).Order Liz’s book 100 Ways to Change Your Life: The Science of Leveling Up Health, Happiness, Relationships & Success !Connect with Liz on Instagram @lizmoody or online at www.lizmoody.com.

You don't have to read the news to know that anxiety is everywhere and anywhere these days, endemic across generations and cultures. But where Suzy confronts anxiety most often is in the Becoming You classroom, where her students ask a question many of us have wondered: How can I possibly design my perfect future when my head and heart are consumed with so much worry right here and now? In other words: Can career planning and anxiety even coexist? And if so, how?In this episode of Becoming You, Suzy describes her own early encounters with anxiety and the strategies she used to beat back "the beast," as she calls it, but her recollections are expanded and deepened by the stories and insights offered by Chrissy Rutherford, a writer, cultural observer, and influencer who found her life's purpose even as she wrestled with panic attacks that started at age six. Today, Chrissy, an international traveler, astute commentator, and fashion icon, is a inspiring example of how to live with anxiety, not despite it.  Indeed, it is an exploration of the gift of anxiety where this episode ultimately leads, as both Suzy and Chrissy relate how anxiety changed their lives -- for the better.

In this week's deeply personal episode of Becoming You, we revisit one of the podcast's most loved stories -- about Suzy's swan named, well, "Suzy" -- and bring it up-to-date with an ending that might surprise you, because it certainly surprised Suzy herself. But don't get the idea that this episode is about bird life (although it is...a little)...it's more about human life, and the universal struggle to shed old identities and embrace the scareforia that leads to the new. In such a way, it is the quintessential Becoming You journey, one into our heart's desires about the lives we lead today...and the ones we must forge to create our tomorrows.

Every day, we make decisions—big, small, and everything in between, each one shaping our careers and relationships, and sometimes even the course of our entire lives. And yet, most of us were never taught how to actually make a decision. Instead, we accept the conventional wisdom: "Just trust your gut." Too bad that advice is only right half the time. Yep, research shows that gut has a 50% hit rate. So why not just go toss a coin? Or wait -- there's a better way, and it's so easy too. All you have to do it...press play. Because in this episode, Suzy breaks the simple decision-making system that changed her life when everything was falling apart, and then put it into success overdrive when things turned around. It’s called 10-10-10, and it’s not about quick fixes or perfect choices—it’s about clarity, confidence, values (of course!) and making peace with the decisions that define us.Becoming You is a methodology for finding our purpose. For answering the question, "What should I do with my life?" In this quick and powerful episode, learn how good decision-making can help turn Becoming You's findings into reality. And as a bonus, find out how 10-10-10 was born one very long, very humiliating day in Hawaii when Suzy's kids themselves decided to go for broke. Your own decisions may never be the same.  To enter the Becoming You Intensive Giveaway and sign up for the Becoming You Newsletter, click here.Want more Becoming You?
