You’ve heard the phrase “Becoming You” — maybe in a friend’s recommendation, maybe in a moment when your own life felt off-track. But what does it really mean to “become” yourself?

In this powerful first episode of a special three-part series, Suzy Welch — professor, career expert, and the host of Becoming You — takes you inside the very first and most foundational part of the process: the excavation of your core values.

This isn’t about personality types or feel-good labels. It’s about uncovering the truths that quietly drive your choices — and figuring out why your life may not feel quite right, even when it looks good on paper.

You’ll meet Kristen and Max, two people with wildly different backgrounds and stories, both of whom bravely open their lives to the Becoming You method. Kristen had everything she thought she wanted — the career, the family, the checklist complete — but something wasn’t clicking. Max had the dream job and the admiration of his peers, but also a deep, persistent misalignment he couldn’t explain. What happens when they begin to name the values they’ve been living by — and the ones they’ve been ignoring?

Honest, funny, and deeply moving, this episode gives you a front-row seat to the moment where change begins. If you’ve ever wondered whether Becoming You could work for you — this is where you’ll find out.

Before Becoming You was a methodology, a class, or a book — it was a question. A question that our host Suzy Welch grappled with for decades as she sought to make her way in the world, as a wife, journalist, mother, and professor. Is it ever really possible to write the story of our own lives, or are we fated to edit the script handed to us by our family, culture, and circumstances?

In time, Suzy came to realize that her answer was…yes. And it wasn’t just her answer, she believed, it was all of ours.

In this intimate and thoughtful episode, Suzy sits down with her daughter Sophia to explore two of the books that helped her reach that conclusion, and thus shape the entire Becoming You Methodology. They are The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen and Peace Like a River by Leif Enger. What begins as a conversation about literature quickly turns inward — becoming a candid reflection on generational patterns, personal reinvention, and the question that sits at the center of Suzy’s work and the Becoming You journey for all who take it.

This week, we return to questions from the Becoming You reunion in New York — and to the complicated truth of what can happen after you find your purpose.

First, you’ll meet Molly, who lands a job that aligns with her values — only to discover it comes with layoffs and instability. Then there’s Tim, an alum from the very first Becoming You cohort, who wonders whether we get to become ourselves more than once.

What follows is a real conversation about the trade-offs of living your values, the unexpected upside of getting fired, and what it actually takes to keep evolving with purpose.

If you’ve ever asked, “What should I do with my life?” — and then asked it again six months later — you’ll feel right at home.
