It’s better to be the author of your life than the editor.

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.

    You Love Your Family. You Love Your Work. You Hate How That Feels.

    What happens when two forces, your home life and your work life —both central to your identity—need you with equal urgency at the exact same moment? Well, chaos happens. Or guilt. Or angst. Or sheer, utter exhaustion. Or...all of the above. In this episode, Suzy gets into a heart-to-heart with Jennifer, a woman who finds herself caught in a battle between two of her deepest values: her unwavering commitment to work and her devotion to her family. It’s a struggle Suzy knows all too well—because once upon a time, she was Jennifer. Her battle scars lead her to counsel Jennifer with an answer you may not expect.
