What We Learn About Love Before We’re 10 (How We're Raised with Will Guidara)

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
