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, up…","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/becoming-you-with-suzy-welch-6913317"},"episode":{"title":"How To Never See Anything The Same Again: Part 2","slug":"how-to-never-see-anything-the-same-again-part-2","published_at":"2026-02-03T05:05:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/becoming-you-with-suzy-welch-6913317/how-to-never-see-anything-the-same-again-part-2","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/becoming-you-with-suzy-welch-6913317","url":"https://www.suzywelch.com/podcasts/","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/tracking.swap.fm/track/v9Uiw3bGr54f6BVZKSyc/traffic.megaphone.fm/CAD3940970112.mp3","summary":"What if the stories you inherited about where you come from were all a lie? In part two of a three-episode Becoming You series about the places you travel and the self-discoveries that arise, your host Suzy Welch voyages to Sicily. Not for sun-drenched escapism or waterfront glamour (hello White Lotus), but to confront the whispered mythology that shaped her childhood and, without her knowing it, her values. This is an episode about ancestry, silence, and the stories families tell to survive. Suzy takes us to Caltanissetta, her family’s ancestral village in the center of Sicily, where a long-told narrative of nobility and elegance collides with historical truth, about the kind of suffering that forces people to choose between staying—or running for their lives. What unfolds is not just a revelation about where her family came from, but a profound insight into a core value she would later name Scope: the desire (or lack thereof) for risk, stimulation, and a big, expansive life. This episode explores: How generational trauma gets buried under idealized fictions The difference between grief and gratitude when facing your family’s past How values like Scope shape whether we run toward calm and security vs chaos and excitement With vulnerability, honesty, and unexpected joy, Suzy reflects on her ancestors’ courage, and their decision to leave everything behind, cross an ocean, and choose uncertainty over suffering. And she asks the question at the heart of this series: What do the places you’ve been reveal about who you are? Next week, the journey continues—in Paris—where a completely different truth waits to be discovered. Because sometimes, you have to travel all the way across the world to meet yourself.
