Becoming You with Suzy Welch

To Be, or Not to Be… a Mother: That Is the Question


Listen Later

This week on Becoming You—the podcast that yearns to help you answer “What should I do with my life?”—a special mailbag episode tackles four listener questions, but looms the largest: “Life is already so hard,” it goes, “and careers are so complicated and relentless—why would anyone choose to have a child these days?”

Typically, Becoming You’s host Suzy Welch is all about helping you hear your own inner voice; she is, as she likes to say, a “values agnostic.” This time is different, and through unflinching, deeply personal stories and a perspective that may challenge your assumptions, she confronts one of the biggest decisions of a lifetime head on and heart first. You may not agree with where she lands, but you will most likely be moved by how she got there.

Also on the pod this week: Suzy answers a listener who wonders if it’s OK to be “working for the money” and the money only, and another listener who wonders how candid she should be in her job interviews about wanting work-life balance. A final listener challenges Suzy on the hot topic of whether “manifesting” is BS…or brilliant.

In the end, this week’s episode isn’t just about motherhood or money—it’s about navigating the defining questions we all face on the road to becoming ourselves.

Take Becoming You IRL at the Three-Day Becoming You Intensive this October.
