Becoming You with Suzy Welch

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?

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?

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. And a dress finds its way home.Take the Becoming You One-Day Intensive this June on NYU’s campus, here.Ready to know yourself better?

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. Next week, the scandal that changed everything.Your own origin story might look a little different after this one.Take the Becoming You One-Day Intensive this June on NYU’s campus, here.Ready to know yourself better?

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.
