“You’ll be judged no matter what you do.”
“No one is coming to save you.”
“Most people secretly want you to fail.”

We’ve all heard the so-called hard truths about success—but are they actually true?

In this special Career Confidential edition of the Becoming You podcast, host Suzy Welch and her inimitable, sometimes-cohost Dustin Liu—associate director of the Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing—put twenty of life’s toughest “truths” on trial. One by one, they debate whether these cynical mantras are wisdom… or just noise.

It’s fast, funny, and fiercely honest—a lightning round of reality checks that might just change how you think about work, ambition, and what it really means to become you.

A Becoming You Conversation with the Icons Behind Excuse My Grandma.

This week on Becoming You, Suzy Welch welcomes one of social media’s most beloved cross-generational duos: Kim Murstein and her grandmother, Gail Rudnick — the stars behind Excuse My Grandma. Their humorous and heartfelt take on dating, modern life, and generational differences has captured millions of fans, and now they’re bringing that electric dynamic to a values conversation like no other.

Suzy invited Kim and Gail to take The Values Bridge, the science-based assessment at the heart of the Becoming You methodology. What follows is a candid, funny, and surprisingly emotional deep-dive into where their values align — and where they couldn’t be further apart. There are moments of honesty, discovery, and plenty of laughter as this duo talks through what truly matters to them.

Becoming You is a podcast about purpose — and how understanding our own values, and those of the people we love, can transform our relationships. Each week, Suzy brings warmth, candor, and years of experience helping people align their lives with who they really are.

This episode is a reminder that generational clashes don’t have to be battles — with the right language, they can become the bridges that unite us all.

A Special “Becoming Us” Episode with Erin and Abe Lichy

At its heart, Becoming You asks one big question: What should I do with my life? But sometimes that life is bound up with another’s — a marriage, a family, a partnership that tests where “you” end and “we” begin.

In this special “Becoming Us” episode, Real Housewives of New York star Erin Lichy and her husband, Abe, join Suzy Welch for a revealing, funny, and deeply human conversation about love, ambition, and identity. Guided by Suzy and the Values Bridge — the Becoming You method for uncovering what truly matters — the couple discovers how their shared and differing values shape their relationship in ways they hadn’t fully seen before.

With Suzy’s signature mix of empathy, insight, and candor, the conversation becomes something rare: an honest exploration of how two people can grow together without losing themselves. By the end, Erin and Abe — and everyone listening — see how understanding your values, and your partner’s, can turn even the hardest conversations into moments of connection and possibility.

If Becoming You helps you discover who you are, this episode shows how to stay true to that person inside the partnership that defines your life.
