What an absolute unicorn-sighting-level treat to have Maria Goff on For Real! MARIA GOFF, YOU GUYS!! Maria has been a steadfast friend and mentor to me. She is the person I go to for real-world advice on family, parenting, and how to make life more beautiful. She is honest and warm and true to the bones. I can’t wait for you to get to listen in on our conversation.

Maria Goff has made a career out of loving her family, serving her neighbors, and turning houses and retreat centers into restful places. She is married to Bob Goff, whom she calls the most helpful and interesting man in the world. They’ve journeyed to Uganda, Nepal, and Northern Iraq to start schools for marginalized kids. They have three adult kids, who are starting families of their own. She lives in San Diego where she and Bob continue to dream about fun and adventures yet to be had with their growing family.
