  • Please. Slow. Down.

    Suzy, please stop speaking like an auctioneer and slooow things down. Give your guests some space to think and compose their response to your questions. I had to stop listening partway through.

  • So much learning

    I found this amazing podcast from an ad on the Unpaused podcast & i’m so glad I did! I had no idea about the wide range of values until now I cannot wait to learn about all the values, figure out, which are my top five, and read Suzy‘s books. This will also help as a parent, my teen and young adult children!

  • Great business advice, hard to listen to about her relationship with her kids

    On behalf of your children, kindly reflect on your role in your relationship with them. Your kids should not be so aware of all the (personal, harmless) choices they make that you don’t like. I empathize for what they have felt like under your shadow. The world doesn’t need 8 billion Suzies. We need one Suzy and they need a mom who doesn’t make them feel bad for any opinion they have that differs with theirs.

  • Major audio issues

    Stumbled across this podcast and had to turn the volume all the way up to hear it. Then got blasted when the commercials came on. The content is ok. I only listened to one episode. I wasn’t familiar with her. When she mentioned her husband, Jack Welch, well, I’m very familiar with who he is. He pivoted the business strategy of GE to focus only on shareholder value. Well we all know how that has played out - tons of wealth in the hands of a few while the rest of us struggle to make a living and u... more

  • Yes!

    I just discovered this podcast due to the “show me your apartment” guy on social media. I’m listening episode by episode from the beginning. My 6 word novel would be “Girl, you were never the problem.”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Value We All Judge the Most
Q: When did your high value of work centrism first show up in your life, and how did it become central?
It showed up very early, with childhood inclinations toward organizing and counting and a sustained pattern of working from a young age, culminating in a lifelong preference for work as a central organizing principle.
Please Advise: Should I Just Do What I'm Good At...Even If I Hate It?
Q: What should someone do if they hate what they're good at but are strongly skilled in it?
She emphasizes reorienting toward roles that leverage their talents in service of environments they care about, such as outdoor settings or nonprofit organizations, to maintain purpose and avoid burnout.
Please Advise: Should I Just Do What I'm Good At...Even If I Hate It?
Q: Under the Becoming You framework, how would a person find their area of transcendence if they dislike work and activities that engage their top aptitudes?
Suzy explains that people should not do what they hate; instead, they should seek a blend where values, aptitudes, and interests intersect, and consider a workplace habitat that suits their need for nature, outdoor environments, or non-office settings.
The Insult That Changed My Life Could Change Yours — and Probably Should. (Part 1)
Q: What's the difference between aptitudes and personality?
Aptitudes are stable, innate abilities, while personality is variable and shaped by exposure; you use aptitudes to find where you'll be most satisfied and effective.
The Insult That Changed My Life Could Change Yours — and Probably Should. (Part 1)
Q: What about aptitudes and skills?
Aptitudes are the seeds or ingredients that, with learning and practice, develop into skills; one aptitude can lead to multiple skills.
