It can’t always be about Taylor—but on Becoming You, sometimes it has to be. Especially when she sings, “When I said I don’t believe in marriage, that was a lie.”

Because what other lies do we tell about love? And what do they reveal about how we live, decide, and grow?

In this week’s episode, host Suzy Welch tackles the ever-complicated terrain of dating, marriage, and divorce with cultural icon Lindsey Metselaar, whose long-running hit podcast We Met at Acme has made her an expert on modern relationships. Together, they dive into questions like: Who wants a romantic relationship more, men or women? Can sex save a marriage? What if he hates your family? And which professions are most—and least—interested in marriage?

It’s lively, honest, and sometimes raw. But beneath the laughter and stories runs a deeper question at the heart of Becoming You: How do we make choices about love that actually serve the lives we want to build?

Along the way, Suzy shares new data from Becoming You Labs about the state of Belovedness—the value that measures our desire for intimate partnership. The results will likely surprise you.

Because the lies we tell about love can be convincing. But the truth about who we are—and what we want—is waiting. Just press play.

What would you prefer to hear in life — a soft lie that makes you feel good but leaves you in the dark about something you’d be better off knowing, or straight-up honesty that may sting at first, but ultimately sets you straight? Let’s be real; it’s not even a choice. Everyone wants to know.

And yet…so many of us struggle with how to tell the truth. Like, really tell it, no fudging around the edges. We worry about seeming mean. We fear getting yelled at. Or we just don’t have the words we think we need.

In this blocking-and-tackling episode of Becoming You, host Suzy Welch has the antidote. It’s the OILS technique, a four-part system which she explains and then demonstrates — twice! — with the help of her daughter, Sophia, one of the podcast’s most popular returning guests.

Becoming You is, at its heart, a podcast about discovering who you are and then crafting the journey to your purpose. But that path, Suzy notes, can only happen with truth-telling conversations. This episode takes on the “how” of them with a technique that’s simple, effective, and immediately applicable. You could, in fact, use it today.

Tune in to listen, laugh, and learn. Telling the truth — your truth — may never be quite the same.

Two percent. For job-seekers and hiring managers alike, that’s the number. The line in the sand. All you have to do is decide whether you want to be in it, or not. The consequences for your career, or your company, couldn’t be bigger.

On this week’s podcast, your host Suzy Welch dives into the research behind that number, reported in her Wall Street Journal op-ed and gathered at Becoming You Labs. In short: Only 2% of Gen Z hold the three values hiring managers want most: achievement, learning, and the love of work for work’s sake.

And yes, the responses to this finding have been…let’s just say, “opinionated.” Suzy reads and responds to some of the most heated comments and explores what all this means for careers, companies, and the tough choices we face when values clash. Tune in to answer the question for yourself, where do you land? And what your answer might mean for your future.

Finally, hear Suzy’s very personal reflections about how she is processing the firestorm around her Wall Street Journal piece. Without doubt, there’s been an avalanche of support. But there have been unsparing attacks in equal measure. Spoiler alert, Joan of Arc is invoked.
