Come with us this week as our host Suzy Welch demonstrates how good she is at pottery! Wait, don’t. Because she’s terrible.

Not for lack of trying. She’s tried her entire life. And not for lack of love. It’s her favorite thing.

And that’s pretty much the point of this week’s episode of Becoming You, the podcast devoted to answering the question, “What do I do with my life?”

It’s about the things we want to do, and love to do, but shouldn’t do – with our careers, at least.

Because we can’t. It’s just not…in us. We’re all great at something. We are. But we are not good at everything.

Our job is not to resist that realization. Our job is to acknowledge it. And live it.

Becoming You is a methodology that is designed to lead you to your purpose, which exists at the intersection of your values, your aptitudes, and your interests.

Our focus this week is the second of that triad – aptitudes – urging us to ask not just what kind of work we should do. But what kind of work we shouldn’t.

It’s a eureka that can change everything.

Listen in as Suzy describes her four favorite ways to figure out your aptitudes once and for all – for the good of your career.

And your life.

Lots of people want to help other people. In their jobs. In their lives. In fact, lots of people would tell you "helping" is one of their main values. They only wish they could do it more.

How wonderful that is in theory...and how complicated that can be in real life.

Every week, Becoming You -- the podcast that aims to answer the question, "What do I do with my life?" -- explores what it actually takes to find and embrace your authentic life. And each week, we talk about the role of values in that journey. YOUR values, that is.

This week, we put the spotlight on two values that often get confused because they're both about helping, Radius and Non Sibi.

Radius is the value held by people who want to change the world. They yearn to be a part of big, systemic change -- the stuff legacies are made of. Non Sibi is the value that motivates people who want to help on a more intimate scale. We're talking small and personal acts of kindness, compassion, and aid. Both values are wonderful and powerful in their own way -- but they are truly distinct. What unites them is that they often, well, hurt in their application. How so? We'll discuss. There can be no talking about helping without talking about its trade-offs.

To bring this pod and its ideas to life, we visit a farm (yes, with real pigs) to meet Rachel McCrystal, who followed a cow upstate, and never left for the sake of her cause. Then, we scrub in at a trauma unit with Dr. Jodie Taylor, whose Non Sibi mindset fuels her in the operating arena...and at the grocery store alike. Their stories aren’t just inspiring—they’re a mirror for all of us.

Because when you understand your values, life’s biggest decisions suddenly become clearer. And maybe, just maybe, the path forward starts to reveal itself.

So let’s dive in. Pigs, finding purpose, and the inevitable "ouch" of altruism—all here in this week’s Becoming You.

What does it mean to find your purpose or to have an authentic life? Are either of those goals actually attainable – really? In this episode of Becoming You, Suzy sits down with bestselling author and top podcast host Liz Moody for an insightful—and at times surprising—conversation about Eudemonia, the often-misunderstood “happiness value” that can make or break your relationships, career, and sense of purpose. Liz recently took the Becoming You values assessment, and let’s just say, her results were revealing. We’re unpacking what it means when your top value is at odds with your reality and how understanding your values can be the key to designing a life that truly fits you.

But this isn’t just a conversation about self-care and balance—it’s about the hard truths of relationships, the hidden forces that drive our biggest decisions, and the real work of becoming who we’re meant to be. Liz opens up about her own struggles with grief, the pressure of professional ambition, and how knowing your core values can help you better navigate love, career, and even loss. Whether you’re someone who prioritizes joy or you’ve always put achievement first, this episode will challenge you to rethink what fulfillment really looks like—and how to start living in alignment with the life you want today.
