Summary

This episode is part of our new series, How We’re Raised — conversations about how the homes we grew up in shape the way we lead, love, and parent today.Dr. Becky sits down with restaurateur and author Will Guidara to explore how being deeply seen as a child shaped the way he builds culture — in restaurants and at home.Will shares what it was like growing up with a mother who became quadriplegic after brain cancer, the quiet power of full presence, and how those early experiences led him to build a career around “unreasonable hospitality” — not in pursuit of product, but in pursuit of people.Together, they talk about: • Why feeling seen matters more than being impressive • The gift — and cost — of being the person who cares for everyone • Why holding your child can matter more than fixing their problem • And how to bring more intention into your home life

In spite of the fact that she could not walk or talk, I have never felt more loved by anyone in my entire life. Do you know when someone is so

focused on a single person that you know you are the only thing in the world that matters to them?

1:21.3

We made the choice to be unreasonable, not in pursuit of product, but in pursuit of people,

1:26.3

and relentless in pursuit of the one thing that will never, ever change, which is our human desire to feel seen.

1:33.6

Here's something I think about a lot. The way we lead at work, at home, anywhere isn't random. It comes from somewhere.

1:40.8

And usually it's shaped early by what got noticed in our house, by what didn't.
