Welcome to Balancing Act. We’re gathered here today to get through this thing called life! Kristen and Luke know we’re all out here doing our best to balance life, love, work, play, family, friends, downfalls, and dreams. Life is full of ups and downs, and adulting can be hard. Kristen and Luke are still here to get REAL from both the female and male perspective, from very different walks of life.. unfiltered and vulnerable. Like Dr. Seuss says, “Be sure when you step, step with care and great tact. And remember that life's a great balancing act.”
