The GoodHard Story Podcast Episode 120 - Sissy Goff on the Antidote to Anxiety
My guest today is Sissy Goff, a licensed professional counselor for kids whose wisdom goes far beyond the boundaries of children and parenting. Her insights into anxiety, resilience, mental health, and spiritual wellbeing have served me as a mom and also as a person with worries and hurts of my own. She’s become a dear friend of mine and one of my most trusted voices as I navigate raising my two sons.
I asked Sissy for all the tips on raising kids that can do hard things…and how we can be adults who do hard things, too. We covered the anxiety epidemic, the capability crisis, the Enneagram in parenting. Whether you’re a parent or simply a person navigating a “John 16:33” world, there’s something for you in this conversation.
