Welcome to Becoming You with Suzy Welch
Here on Jill on Money, we spend a lot of time crunching the numbers. We talk about the "how" of your life, the 401(k), the tax strategies, and the early retirement aspirations.
But we all know that the "why" is often the hardest part to solve. That’s why I’m so excited to introduce you to a voice who is cutting through the noise of modern life and work: Suzy Welch.
Suzy is a three-time New York Times bestselling author, a business journalist, and the powerhouse professor behind NYU’s most popular self-discovery class. She is a leading expert on decision-making and the pursuit of authentic purpose, and she does it all without the fluff.
In her podcast, Becoming You, Suzy dives into the irreverent, messy, and altogether beautiful process of figuring out who you are (and who you want to be).
Find Becoming You with Suzy Welch everywhere you get your podcasts.
