The Lies We Tell About Love with "We Met At Acme"'s Lindsey Metselaar
It can’t always be about Taylor—but on Becoming You, sometimes it has to be. Especially when she sings, “When I said I don’t believe in marriage, that was a lie.”Because what other lies do we tell about love? And what do they reveal about how we live, decide, and grow?In this week’s episode, host Suzy Welch tackles the ever-complicated terrain of dating, marriage, and divorce with cultural icon Lindsey Metselaar, whose long-running hit podcast We Met at Acme has made her an expert on modern relationships. Together, they dive into questions like: Who wants a romantic relationship more, men or women? Can sex save a marriage? What if he hates your family? And which professions are most—and least—interested in marriage?It’s lively, honest, and sometimes raw. But beneath the laughter and stories runs a deeper question at the heart of Becoming You: How do we make choices about love that actually serve the lives we want to build?Along the way, Suzy shares new data from Becoming You Labs about the state of Belovedness—the value that measures our desire for intimate partnership. The results will likely surprise you.Because the lies we tell about love can be convincing. But the truth about who we are—and what we want—is waiting. Just press play.

How to Tell the Hard Truth…More Easily
What would you prefer to hear in life — a soft lie that makes you feel good but leaves you in the dark about something you’d be better off knowing, or straight-up honesty that may sting at first, but ultimately sets you straight? Let’s be real; it’s not even a choice. Everyone wants to know.And yet…so many of us struggle with how to tell the truth. Like, really tell it, no fudging around the edges. We worry about seeming mean. We fear getting yelled at. Or we just don’t have the words we think we need.In this blocking-and-tackling episode of Becoming You, host Suzy Welch has the antidote. It’s the OILS technique, a four-part system which she explains and then demonstrates — twice! — with the help of her daughter, Sophia, one of the podcast’s most popular returning guests. Becoming You is, at its heart, a podcast about discovering who you are and then crafting the journey to your purpose. But that path, Suzy notes, can only happen with truth-telling conversations. This episode takes on the “how” of them with a technique that’s simple, effective, and immediately applicable. You could, in fact, use it today. Tune in to listen, laugh, and learn. Telling the truth — your truth — may never be quite the same.

Two Percent Is A Pretty Scary Number. Go Ahead, @ Me.
Two percent. For job-seekers and hiring managers alike, that’s the number. The line in the sand. All you have to do is decide whether you want to be in it, or not. The consequences for your career, or your company, couldn’t be bigger.On this week’s podcast, your host Suzy Welch dives into the research behind that number, reported in her Wall Street Journal op-ed and gathered at Becoming You Labs. In short: Only 2% of Gen Z hold the three values hiring managers want most: achievement, learning, and the love of work for work’s sake.And yes, the responses to this finding have been…let’s just say, “opinionated.” Suzy reads and responds to some of the most heated comments and explores what all this means for careers, companies, and the tough choices we face when values clash. Tune in to answer the question for yourself, where do you land? And what your answer might mean for your future. Finally, hear Suzy’s very personal reflections about how she is processing the firestorm around her Wall Street Journal piece. Without doubt, there’s been an avalanche of support. But there have been unsparing attacks in equal measure. Spoiler alert, Joan of Arc is invoked.

Kate recently took the Becoming You Values Bridge assessment, and Suzy walks her through the results – which prompt a slew of a-ha moments, and hold a few surprises to boot. Learn about them all, and learn about yourself along the way, in this intimate and inspiring episode of Becoming You.Find Kate Bartlett: On Instagram @katee.bartlettOn TikTok @katebartlett

What’s Love Got To Do With It? Becoming You’s Version.
Nobody hates romantic love, but not everybody loves romantic love the same amount.That’s what makes romantic love a value. Because we get to choose how much of a role it plays in our life. For some of us, it drives all of our actions and decisions, from where we work to where we live to what we do every weekend. For others of us, being in a relationship is a “nice to have” not a “need to have” thing. Our partner matters – if we have one – but they aren’t the center of our existence.Cue the scary music!In this week’s podcast, our host Suzy Welch makes a momentous announcement, and with it, shares news about how we can all learn more about our own, personal level of love as a value. That’s information that matters for us individually as we search for our purpose in life, and it's information that could change how we relate to those around us. So, what’s love got to do with it? Just about everything. Tune in this week for a brand new look at an emotion that never gets old.

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.
