What if the places you travel don’t take you far away… but bring you closer to who you actually are?

In this deeply personal and openly vulnerable episode of Becoming You, your host Suzy Welch launches a rare three-part storytelling series about travel—not as escape or travelogue, but as excavation. On this first trip, you will land in Agra, India, at the foot of the Taj Mahal. What unfolds there is not a story about architecture or history, but a reckoning: about love, power, identity, and the value Suzy would later name Belovedness (long before she had the language for it).

Through the lens of her marriage, the complicated legend of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, and the quiet ache of self-betrayal that can come from living misaligned with your deepest values, Suzy shares the kind of insight that only comes from a trip to the other side of the world.
