Goldilocks planet has one pole pointed straight at the star, permanently. Greek and Roman myths all claim there were no seasons prior to the flood. That's what you'd expect with a tidal lock formation.

Tidal locked to the primary would lead to overheating on the sun side and ice-ball on the back side, with maybe a strip of livable land between. I think you are thinking of axle tilt causing no seasons.

What we need to do is push the planet out a little bit farther, till it’s not tidal locked and starts to spin!!!
