Announcing the 2018 Cast of Every Family’s Got One

Every Family’s Got One Founder – Barbara Herel I am excited to announce our cast. But first, I need to tell you we were floored by your response! Audition videos came from... Long Island, New York City, Westchester, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Let me tell you, Family, there are amazing storytellers all around us! What’s more, the quality of the work was astounding. You just blew us away. And you happily made our casting decision a difficult one. Most difficult in fact! We spent many hours in our café eating our way through the casting process. (But seriously, we forgive you.) [...]

A Story About Miscarriage and New Beginnings

By Every Family's Got One Guest Writer -- Kathy Radigan “Well that’s it, I’ve finally flipped,” was all I could think of as I spent the 45-minute commute into my office obsessing over the fact that we didn’t have enough life insurance on my husband. I couldn’t understand why I was obsessing on this, considering that our family was Joe, me, and our cat. Obviously, it was time to take my fertility doctor up on her offer to give me some referrals to a therapist familiar with infertility issues. It finally happened, I’ve slipped into the abyss. The past [...]

More Than a Friend, My Soul Sister

By Every Family's Got One Guest Writer -- Kathy Radigan Four years ago, I spent a very rainy Friday afternoon in a temple sitting with other mourners as I listened to a rabbi say beautiful things about a friend I knew... long before I was a wife, mother, and writer. Michelle was a strong, kind person who had lost her hard-fought battle with cancer. My mind couldn’t help travel back to a time before we met the men we would marry or answered to children calling us mom. It was a time in our lives when anything and everything was [...]

The Day My Dad Took Me to Live With the Pigs

By Every Family's Got One Guest Writer -- Kathy Radigan The best parenting lesson I ever received came from my dad. And I was only five. Back then, family trips to Eisenhower Park were one of my favorite things to do. No visit was complete until we visited the pigs at the park’s small petting zoo. Whenever my two younger sisters or I dared to get a little out of line, my parents would warn us that if we didn’t behave, they would send us to live with the pigs. This threat was made lightly enough that we were pretty [...]

The Day I Visited a Sex Shop With My 70-Year-Old Mother

By Every Family's Got One Guest Writer -- Kathy Radigan “So who has had sex today?” the pretty — and a little-too-perky for 10:00 am — tour guide asks. “And sex with yourself doesn’t count.” Perhaps a “Sex and the City” bus tour of NYC wasn’t such a great idea for a bonding experience with my 70-year-old mother. A few weeks earlier, I was given the opportunity to review a company that provided Experience Gifts, and it seemed like the perfect thing to do with my mom. But now that we were actually on the bus, I had to question [...]
