- “Do not, under any circumstances, take that job.”
Everyone’s always telling you what job to take. This week, Suzy and Becoming You Labs chief economist Sania Khan tell you about the six you should think twice about, in a two-part series on the jobs that look good today but may leave you without a life raft tomorrow.
With hiring slowing and people clinging to the jobs they have, the temptation to say yes to any offer is real. But some of the most appealing roles come with risks that don’t show up on a resume: jobs where you’re indispensable but can’t prove it, jobs at companies that keep AI out of your hands, and jobs where you’ll take the blame for what AI gets wrong.
This week, Suzy and Sania take on the first three jobs, with real examples, current data, and practical ways to protect yourself if you’re already in one of them. You may even have one of these jobs right now. And if you do, there’s still realistic hope.
If you know someone who might be in one of these roles, forward them this episode.

• X: @SuzyWelch - What if the thing everyone compliments you on is your greatest professional gift, and you’ve spent your whole career trying to outgrow it?
This week on season 1 of Please Advise on the Becoming You podcast, Suzy’s guest is a friend who casually asked a question over dinner: what if my greatest aptitude is my personality? Allison Avery is a longtime HR professional and trained Jungian psychoanalyst figuring out what comes next. Now they’re taking it live, with a conversation about why we trust the skills we’ve had to earn, more than the ones that come naturally, and what changes when you stop treating your biggest gift as a consolation prize.

• X: @SuzyWelch Why Dating Feels So Hopeless Right Now (and What to Do About It) with Sabrina Zohar
10/20/2026 | 49 mins.Love hurts. Love heals. Love is blind. Love conquers all. So which is it? And should you give your whole life over to finding that one special person, or treat romance as just one part of a full life?
This week on Becoming You, Suzy takes on the value of romantic love, or Belovedness: how much you want to organize your life around one special person. This is part of our 16-episode series on the values that drive how we live, and the data on it might change how you think about love.
Suzy shares how Americans actually rank romance right now, and why the answer looks very different depending on whether you’re married, divorced, or single. Then she goes back in time, with a surprising history of marriage and the idea that the version of romance we’re all raised on is a very recent invention.
Then dating and relationship coach Sabrina Zohar, host of The Sabrina Zohar Show, and NYT bestselling author of "Why Am I Like This?" joins Suzy to talk about the state of dating in 2026, why so many people have lost hope, and what happened when she stopped waiting to be chosen and started choosing.
And Suzy closes with a personal story about love, loss, and the value she almost left out entirely.

• X: @SuzyWelchPlease Advise: I’m Pivoting Careers. How Do I Sell Myself Without the “Right” Experience?
10/15/2026 | 20 mins.Dominique is heading to business school this fall to pivot from PR and communications into venture capital, and she wants to know: How do I turn my non-traditional background into a differentiator instead of something I have to explain away?
This week on Please Advise, the call-in show of Becoming You, Suzy knows exactly how Dominique feels. When she arrived at Harvard Business School in 1986 as a Miami crime reporter, nobody wanted her in their study group. Suzy’s non-traditional background made her an outsider, until it didn’t. Suzy shares how she turned that outsider status around, then looks at Dominique’s Values Bridge results and finds something that changes the way she answers the question.
Then Suzy gets to the question Dominique actually asked, with advice for anyone making a career pivot: Stop leading with your resume, and tell your own story, values, aptitudes, and interests included.

• X: @SuzyWelchThe King of New York’s Hottest Club Has Seen It All. And He’ll Never Leave. With Fabrizio Brienza
10/13/2026 | 32 mins.Is this the best town in the world, or do you need to get out of here? For some people, there’s only one answer, and it’s never negotiable.
This week on Becoming You, Suzy skips the scholar and brings in someone who lives the value of Place, which is the value of location, out loud: Fabrizio Brienza, the “Door God” who decides who gets into Paul’s Casablanca, one of the hottest clubs in New York. Born in Campobasso, Italy, and shaped by Miami and Los Angeles, Fabrizio is clear that after New York, everywhere else feels like going from a Rolls-Royce to a Toyota Corolla. Yes, with the rats and all.
In this latest installment of a 16-part series on the values that drive how we live, Suzy tells the story of how Place became a gatekeeping value in her scientifically-validated assessment, The Values Bridge: Where you live is one of the first things to figure out before you plan anything else.
Where does Place fall for you as a value? Found out with a special discount code below.

About Becoming You with Suzy Welch
Have you ever wondered, “What should I do with my life?” Or, “Should I stay or should I go?” Or, “Is there anyone out there who actually tells the freaking truth about life and work today, but also does not leave me in despair?” Wonder no more! The “Becoming You” podcast has arrived, hosted by Suzy Welch, the business journalist-turned-professor at the helm of NYU’s wildly popular self-discovery class by the same name. A three New York Times best-seller and frequent contributor to the Today Show and the Wall Street Journal, Professor Welch is considered a leading expert on decision-making, and the discovery and pursuit of authentic purpose. But virtually no topic is off-bounds in her irreverent new podcast, from parenting fails (including her own) to perfect poems (none of her own, thank God.) Also included: Pointed opinions on dogs, Gen Z, marriage, credit default swaps, golf skirts, career killing mistakes, and under-appreciated TV shows you really have to see immediately. OK, there is actually nothing in the podcast about credit default swaps. Tune in every week to laugh, learn, get riled up, get calmed down, and basically get closer to becoming you, joyfully, in this crazy, upside-down, scary, messy, and altogether beautiful world we share.
