“I found my chosen family. It doesn’t have to be just one group, it can continue to grow.” – Tracie Laymon
Intro
What happens when the father you needed never showed up?
In this episode, I sit down with filmmaker Tracie Laymon, creator of Bob Trevino Likes It, to explore how growing up with an emotionally unavailable father shaped her life, relationships, and sense of self.
We talk about the father wound, people-pleasing, self-abandonment, healing through safe relationships, and why chosen family can become part of our emotional recovery. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling unseen, constantly seeking approval, or wondering why healthy love feels unfamiliar, this conversation is for you.
Highlights:
- The “Father Wound”: How it shapes our adult relationships and sense of self-worth.
- Moving from “people-pleasing” to reclaiming your own power.
- The making of Bob Trevino Likes It and why it’s resonating with audiences worldwide.
- How to stop “begging” for validation from people who aren’t capable of giving it.
