In this episode, I sit down with best-selling author, NYU professor, and values expert, Dr. Suzy Welch, to talk about her practical approach to finding your purpose. We dive into the research behind her proven method, “Becoming You,” and the popular NYU class she created to help students discover their most authentic selves & careers through identifying their values. Dr. Welch opens up about her own journey to finding the work she was meant to do, the importance of knowing (and living) your top values, and how she has navigated life after loss. We also chat about the realities of being a working mom, why women can’t always “have it all”, and the importance of female friendships at any age. Plus, she breaks down the “Four Horsemen” that hold us back from reaching our full potential and her simple but powerful 10-10-10 decision-making method.
