History

---

The Balancing Act debuted in 2007 and is produced by O2 Media, Inc. The show airs on Lifetime Television.  The Balancing Act can be seen every weekday morning and is viewed by thousands of women all over the world.  The mission of The Balancing Act is to educate, empower, and entertain this generation of women.

Today, women multi-task to epic proportions.  When a woman is asked to help, host, advise, volunteer, or present, she usually says yes and then arranges her schedule to get it all done.  The Balancing Act producers understand today’s woman and have created a television program with her needs and interests at the heart of every segment.  Popular segments on The Balancing Act include the Parent Teacher Corner, Mission Makeover, Hollywood Watch, Behind the Mystery:  Rare and Genetic Diseases, and Road Tours.  While programming may vary slightly, the goal is always the same – to give women something to think about, do, change, laugh about, or consider as they go about their daily lives.

The Parent Teacher Corner on The Balancing Act is devoted to presenting helpful information about education-related issues.  Past segments have included strategies for helping children learn to read, online resources for parents, teaching children with autism, and ending childhood obesity.

The Balancing Act segment, Behind the Mystery:  Rare and Genetic Diseases, provides insight into diseases that affect many, but have received little attention.  Through this information, women are enabled to support each other, spread information and insight, and be prepared if they ever become personally affected by the given disease.

Hollywood Watch and Mission Makeover bring levity to the lives of viewers.  Sometimes, getting lost in celebrity gossip or talking about the latest in shoes is the best way to unwind and refuel for what’s next on a woman’s agenda.

The Balancing Act continues to support women long after the 7am hour ends.  The Balancing Act website features video clips for those who missed a segment, links to products presented on the show, blogs written about women’s issues and so much more.  The Balancing Act team is also active on social media and can be found on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.  If that’s not enough, women can subscribe to the show’s electronic newsletter for wellness tips, coupons and other money-saving strategies and tools.
