Raising Worry-Free Girls with Sissy Goff

With anxiety at an all-time high in adults and kids alike, one of the biggest battles parents face right now is how to raise worry-free kids. But what does that actually look like in a world of 24/7 news, social media, and culture wars? This week on Unapologetic licensed professional counselor and bestselling author Sissy Goff is here to help lend her insight and practical advice to parents striving to combat anxiety in their kids with God’s truth. Throughout their conversation, Julia and Sissy both share their expertise on the anxiety epidemic our kids are facing—outlining practical ways to tell if your child is anxious, the key differences between worry, anxiety, and fear, and how to raise worry-free girls.
