Becoming You with Suzy Welch

Job loss can feel like a personal death, but it might be a catalyst for growth. The discussion unfolds around navigating the emotional chaos that accompanies being fired, encouraging listeners to embrace 'fun employment' as a new mindset. There’s emphasis on taking ownership of one’s role in job dismissals and discovering personal values. By reflecting on setbacks, individuals can tap into self-discovery and unearth hidden aspirations, transforming endings into beginnings in their careers.

You can want more in life. You can want less. You can choose to take a walk in dark and snowy woods with four crazy dogs, or you can choose to stay inside by the fire reading Jane Eyre. How edgy, wild, and exciting your life is, or how contained, chill, and peaceful it is – that choice is on you. The answer depends on your value of Scope. And the truth is, all values choices are on you. Except the choice to not live by your values at all, and just…survive. In this episode of the pod, Suzy is abducted by aliens and ends up living four months in complete chaos. OK, she wasn’t actually abducted, but she might as well have been, since this period was so divorced from what Becoming You is all about. Tune in to hear what she learned during this time apart from her longed-for self – and what she would advise anyone who also wants their life journey to be of their own design…and desire.

The journey to discovering your true purpose is both challenging and rewarding, much like childbirth. Five stages play a crucial role: elation, revelation, investigation, refinement, and the unique 'scarephoria'—where fear and excitement collide. Personal anecdotes about parenthood add warmth and humor, proving that both love and challenge shape our paths. Reflecting on transformative experiences invites listeners to delve deeper into their own quests for meaning. Join the conversation on growth, fear, and finding the extraordinary in life's trials.

It's so bad out there, isn't it? There's war. Violence. Polarization. And sometimes, there's our own work too, weighing us down, because it's so much less than we want and need. So why bother even trying to find our purpose in the morass? What's the point? Hello! Here at the Becoming You pod, we're so happy you asked! Because we have an answer to that question, which is, basically, the case for hope, even and especially when times are like these, daunting, and messy, and too darn scary. Tune in to this episode to hear it, and hear too Suzy interview her own best friend, who found a new and powerful purpose after she almost lost her life.

Sometimes, we’re happy-ish and that’s fine. After all, we tell ourselves, no one is overjoyed about everything all the time! But other times, we’re not-so-ok and sense our lives could be fuller, richer, or somehow more authentic. What then? Suzy takes on that exact question this week when she responds to two pod listeners: Barbara, a successful marketing executive who has everything a person could want in life – except a sense of purpose, and Caycee, who finds herself in daily battle with her conflicting values of financial security and flexibility. Listen in as Suzy sorts out their poignant, familiar, and all-too-human struggles to not just become happier, but their very own version of happiest.
