CG Podcast: Raising Emotionally Resilient Girls with Sissy Goff

In today’s episode, we’re sitting down with the wise and wonderful Sissy Goff to talk all things anxiety, regulation, and relationships—especially how these show up in the lives of our daughters. As moms, we carry our own stories and hopes for our girls, and Sissy reminds us how to attune, slow down, and connect in a way that rewires our daughters' hearts and minds for resilience and trust.

Together, we unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways anxiety shows up, the importance of healthy attunement without overfunctioning, and how to guide our girls through relational conflict—including what to do when they face “mean girl” moments.

🔹 Attunement over anxiety – How slowing down, speaking with empathy, and staying emotionally present helps our daughters regulate and feel seen.

🔹 Reinforce the good – Why what we pay attention to most (brave moments vs. crisis) shapes our kids’ emotional wiring.

🔹 Strong and kind – How to teach our girls to stand up for themselves with courage and compassion in the face of conflict.

🔹 Trust over fear – Why early intervention matters, and how trust—not just bravery—is the key to helping kids overcome anxiety.

This episode is rich with practical language and tools—including Sissy’s “VOMP” framework for conflict and a new children’s book that helps little ones build courage through the power of connection and love.

Let’s raise girls who are emotionally equipped, deeply loved, and grounded in grace—starting with us.

Courageous Girls' motivation is to see a generation of women who are navigating trusted relationships, are confident in who God says He is and who He made them to be and are resiliently moving through the peaks and valleys of life. A generation of women who are rooted in grace and free from the performance-based treadmill we are enticed with every day.

CG answers this goal by providing clear and trusted Biblical, clinical and relational wisdom for moms. With the long-term goal in mind, lessons are created as building blocks and encouraged to unfold within community.

Not only does a CG community provide the perfect place to practice the art of relationship, but it also allows the moms to share the load which provides a diversity in leadership. All the while nurturing a trusted connection with the first model in a daughter’s life, her mom. 

Groups provide a safe place to focus on God’s word rather than the competing influences in the world. Instead of competition, comparison and judgment… groups strive to grow in gratitude, joy and acceptance. CG is an intentional choice to equip ourselves and our daughters to love others well and to live from a place of wholeness and grace.
