O2 Media’s Hit Morning Show ‘The Balancing Act’ Welcomes Brooke Shields!

(Pompano Beach, FL—May 2010)  Actors and models are the quintessence of glamour, which describes The Balancing Act’s very special guest-- Brooke Shields!   Make sure you tune in Friday, May 14^th at 7:00am (ET/PT), as it airs on Lifetime Television.  In addition to a long career in the entertainment industry, Brooke is also the mother of two young daughters and knows first-hand how hard it to balance her roles on screen with her roles as a mom, wife and family caretaker.

According to Brooke, there’s no trick to having a perfect balance, but it is more like a juggling act and coping with the feeling that you need to be at three different places at the same time. She focuses on scheduling her time so that she can accomplish her daily goals, as well as keeping the communication open with her husband and kids. She adds that most people would be surprised at what they’re capable of, but that some things have to be sacrificed and that often means mom takes less time to care for herself. This is where the “balance” needs to be kept in check.

Brooke says, “My family is what makes my life have meaning, but my children know that work is important to me too.

“I want them to have that message, and I want them to know that it's okay to have a vocation and to work really hard. They’re already being educated about the importance of trying to make your life fulfilled and balanced”, Brooke adds.

In addition to being a mother, Brooke is also an advocate for children. She chose to take a role in the upcoming film "Furry Vengeance" because it’s a smart family comedy that will appeal to all ages. Adults and their kids will appreciate the movie’s humor as well as the eco-friendly message. The storyline focuses on a plan to wipe out a forest full of wildlife in order to build a housing and shopping development. The animals don’t want to lose their beautiful, green home, and they fight back with a “furry vengeance” that features animal antics led by a clever raccoon.
