“Women are craving a morning show that really speaks to their issues,” say Michael Moss, Executive VP of Production for The Balancing Act. “They want a show that’s fun, without a lot of fluff; they need real advice that will help them and their families every day.”

A nationwide search went out to find the perfect—or should we say well balanced duo. Moss says, “You can imagine the competition. But we chose Beth and Kristy because of the way viewers will relate to them. They are bright, funny, energetic, and they get it!! They know the struggle it is to keep the balance between all of a woman’s multiple roles.”

Beth and Kristy have it down to a science with their chemistry! They’re exciting to watch as they banter, and play off of each other’s words. They’re informative, their dynamic—what can we say? They’re women!

Beth and Kristy both say, "We're already hearing the buzz about the new show-- and are excited to be a part of it”!

Beth Troutman, a North Carolina native, has had a diverse and groundbreaking career. At 19, while still in college, she founded a not-for-profit organization focusing on self-esteem issues for young girls. She later spent four years working for the television series The West Wing, and became so inspired that she became the first woman to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in North Carolina’s District 8. After losing in a very tight race, she was then tapped to host the morning show Fox News Rising. She is married and lives in South Florida.

Kristy Villa, a Miami native, has been a highly respected anchor and reporter in some of the country’s largest television markets including Miami, Houston and Phoenix. She’s covered an array of national stories including the Papal visit to Cuba and Hurricane Wilma. As a former medical representative, Kristi brings a wealth of knowledge about the health issues that concern women. She is married with two children.
