Our New Family Adventure: The EFGO Podcast!

By Every Family's Got One Founder -- Barbara Herel Image by Rawpixel.com Summer has always been a time for family adventures and oddly enough, this Summer of Covid has been no exception. Although it has elbowed us (not so gently) into new ways of venturing out in the world.  For us, that means instead of a 2020 live storytelling show, this year we're pouring our energies into the EFGO Podcast.  After all, we couldn’t let a pandemic stand in the way of bringing you the third season of fantastic family stories.

By Every Family's Got One Founder -- Barbara Herel Image from Rawpixel.com I’m calling 2019 my year of “Being” – as in “being okay with my insecurities” and “being true to myself in all that I do.” As I look back over the year, there were three realizations that have truly helped me into Being and here they are:  Mistakes Will Be Made...  My mantra sets just the right tone to make me smile and keep me stretching the limits of my comfort zone. I now wholeheartedly accept that mistakes are bound to happen – that carefully [...]
