Listen Later

In this special episode of The Grandpa Channel, Rivers (Steve Harris) is joined by bestselling author and grandmother of 39 (!) Bracha Goetz to talk about a topic that changes everything: gratitude.

You’ll hear stories about:

  • How Rivers’ own mom instilled an “attitude of gratitude”

  • Bracha’s teenage search for meaning and how gratitude saved her from addiction

  • The surprising Jewish root of the word “gratitude”

  • Easy ways grandparents can nurture thankful, joyful kids (without preaching)

    Plus:

    📚 The children’s book that helps eliminate entitlement — without a single “lesson.”
    🧠 Why rewiring gratitude can start with one sticky-note, bedtime ritual, or Friday night question.

    This one’s tender, timeless, and full of ideas you’ll want to steal.
