NYU Stern Professor, business leader, and creator of Becoming You, the proven method for crafting your authentic life and career.

Hi, Welcome. It’s Suzy.

This website was created to share information and updates about my teaching, podcast, books, and the NYU Stern Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing, and, if you’re so inclined, my dogs. OK, there’s not much about the dogs, but they’re wonderful.

If you’re here to learn about Becoming You, my self-discovery and career-exploration methodology, or the 10-10-10 decision-making system, you’re in the right place. While different in application, both tools have the same intention: Lives of more authenticity, clarity, and alignment, even amidst the sometimes daunting (and often messy) beauty of life.

Again, welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

    Are We Ever Really Real? A Podcast About The Happiness Value, With Special Guest Liz Moody

    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.
