Humans will act irrationally all the time when it comes to money and they'll just do what makes the most financial sense, whether or not it's aligned with their values.

And so we'll live in a house we don't want to live in. We'll take a job. We don't want to stay in.

We will do all sorts of things for the money. And at the end of the day, we think the money didn't matter that much.

Hey, everybody. Thanks so much for joining us today on her money. I'm Gene Chatsky. Very glad to

have you along for the ride. And today I want to start with a big question, a big question. Are you happy at work?

In other words, do you wake up feeling energized and excited to do what you

get to do all day? I mean, I hope you don't find yourself loathing your job. But perhaps there's

just a little itch, maybe a quiet voice, saying, isn't there something more, something a little more

fulfilling, more purposeful that lights you up and pays the bills at the very same time? That is not

too much to ask, is it? My guest today, Susie Welsh, has spent the past 15 years helping

people figure out what the heck they should actually be

doing with their lives. Susie is an award-winning NYU Stern School of Business Professor. She

specializes in helping people identify the perfect career based on their values, aptitudes,

and interests. She's detailed it all in a new book. It's called

Becoming You, the proven method for crafting your authentic life and career. And she's here

today to break it down for us. But before we do that, we're going to take a quick break.

If there's one app you need on your phone in 2025, it's upside. It is one of the smartest tools

out there for getting a little something back on the things that you're already spending money on,

like gas and groceries and dining out. And if you're someone like me who is in the kitchen,

well, it seems like constantly, the savings

on groceries alone make it worth a try.

Here's how it works.
