S8 E15: The Power of Gratitude and Boundaries in Parenting with Bracha Goetz

April 04, 20251 min read

In this episode, I welcome the inspiring Bracha Goetz, author of 43 children’s books and a heartfelt memoir about her journey to joy. We dive into the magic of children's literature, the importance of instilling gratitude from an early age, and how setting boundaries as a parent is a form of love. Bracha shares the story behind her book The Mother Who Always Said Yes and how children learn best through experience—not lectures. We also discuss the impact of modeling gratitude, joyful habit formation, and finding fulfillment in the seemingly small moments of motherhood.

Bracha Goetz is the Harvard-educated author of 43 children’s books and a candid memoir for adults about her journey to find fulfillment, Nourish the Soul: Filling the Emptiness Within. Her newest picture books include, Let's Stay Healthy, Don't Read This Book, and The Mother Who Always Said Yes. These books can be found in bookstores and at www.growingimpactpublications.com.
