The Balancing Act is America's premier women's morning show that is ambitious and inspiring - while illuminating new ways for women to achieve success in all areas of their lives. The Balancing Act was created by Scott Woolley and Five Star Productions in 2001, original hosted by Joanne Kerns. It ran for six years as a weekly series. In 2007 Scott Woolley re-created the series and turned the weekly series into a daily series with Lifetime Television. In 2008 Woolley created a joint venture with another production company and in 2009 sold the series to that joint venture.
